NOTE: Maintenance in this section covers the front wheel bearings on rear wheel drive cars. These are the only wheel bearings which require periodic lubrication on the rear wheel drive vehicles covered by this manual. (Mazda also recommends periodic lubrication of the front wheel bearings on front wheel drive GLCs.) For drive axle bearing information, please refer to Section 7 for rear wheel drive models or Section 8 for front wheel drive models.
Applicable front wheel bearings should be repacked with lithium grease (NGLI No. 1) every 30,000 miles (48,309 km) or 30 months, whichever comes first.
