Additional Notes

  • The Mazda MPV, LV (EU) rear differential holds 1.5 liters of fluid across both the 2.5 TD (1996-1999) and the 3.0 V6-18V 2WD (1988-1999) configurations, a volume consistent with a standard service fill for a compact rear differential unit.
  • The 2.5 TD specifies a fluid change interval of 80,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid is not treated as a lifetime fill and requires periodic replacement on a defined schedule.
  • Alongside the change interval, the 2.5 TD also carries a separate check interval of 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use, which falls at the halfway point of the full change cycle.
  • The 3.0 V6-18V 2WD lists only a check interval of 24 months or 30,000 km under normal use, without a corresponding change interval entry in the specifications.
  • The check interval for the 3.0 V6-18V 2WD is set at 30,000 km, which is shorter in distance than the 40,000 km check interval specified for the 2.5 TD, reflecting a difference in service scheduling between the two engine variants.
