One of my peeves about Mazda's is that the "Service Soon" indicator comes on over a month before it should. I leased a 2020 CX5 on June 17, 2020, and have about 1640 miles, yet today I have the "service soon 15 days" message when I start the car. Does this turn on because the car actually needs maintenance (sensor detects oil needs replacing), or is it just a function of time and/or distance (time since last service, distance since last service)? If it's the latter that doesn't make any sense since the car isn't close to 5000 miles, and it's over a month to 5 months since I leased it.

Thanks!

If you go into the settings menu, you will find a maintenance section which has both a mileage and a time setting. The time setting is probably set for three months. Just change it to whatever interval you desire.

 

It's amazing the amount of information one can find in the owner's manual...
