The second maintenance items for the Mazda3 Axela include: 1. Replacement of engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, transmission fluid, cabin air filter, and engine belt; 2. Inspection of spark plugs; 3. Addition of brake fluid; 4. Cleaning of throttle body and fuel injectors; 5. Inspection of tires, brake pads, brake discs, tire pressure, lighting, chassis, and power steering system. The Mazda3 Axela is a compact car under Changan Mazda. Taking the 2020 Mazda3 Axela Manual Zhimei Edition as an example, its body dimensions are 4662 mm in length, 1797 mm in width, and 1445 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2726 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters.
I remember when I took my Mazda3 (Axela) for its second maintenance service last time, it had just hit around 10,000 kilometers. The main items were changing the engine oil and oil filter, which made the engine run smoother and less prone to issues. The 4S shop also checked the air filter, replacing it if it was too dusty to ensure clean air intake. The braking system was thoroughly tested, including brake pad wear and brake fluid condition, to ensure it could stop reliably in emergencies. Tire rotation was mandatory—they adjusted the pressure and balanced the wear for better fuel efficiency and safety on long trips. Tightening the chassis screws significantly reduced odd noises. A battery check prevented unexpected stalls, and lighting tests ensured safe night driving. I specifically asked them to inspect the cabin air filter—cleaning it before spring improved air freshness. The whole process took just over an hour at a moderate cost, but it gave me much more confidence behind the wheel. Regular maintenance truly extends a car’s lifespan.
