[ ] For Schedule 1, use printed pages 6-5–6-6. Copy the applicable item and its time/distance requirement, including whichever comes first. https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/global-resources/vehicle-resources/owner-manuals/2017/mazda3/2017-mazda3-owners-manual.pdf#page=418 | PDF page 418 https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/global-resources/vehicle-resources/owner-manuals/2017/mazda3/2017-mazda3-owners-manual.pdf#page=419 | PDF page 419 3. [ ] For Schedule 2, use printed pages 6-7–6-8. Distinguish inspection, replacement and lubrication; an invoice saying inspection does not prove replacement. https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/global-resources/vehicle-resources/owner-manuals/2017/mazda3/2017-mazda3-owners-manual.pdf#page=420 | PDF page 420 https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/global-resources/vehicle-resources/owner-manuals/2017/mazda3/2017-mazda3-owners-manual.pdf#page=421 | PDF page 421 4. [ ] Match each applicable item with its invoice date and mileage, then mark completed, due or unverified. A cleared reminder alone is not a maintenance record. https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/global-resources/vehicle-resources/owner-manuals/2017/mazda3/2017-mazda3-owners-manual.pdf#page=432 | PDF page 432 5. [ ] Save the unresolved items, missing invoices and next booking/review date. Ask a service provider to establish unknown history; do not restart an interval from today without evidence of completed work. https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/global-resources/vehicle-resources/owner-manuals/2017/mazda3/2017-mazda3-owners-manual.pdf#page=417 | PDF page 417 6. [ ] Create an item-by-item ledger; distinguish inspected, replaced, lubricated and unverified work. https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/global-resources/vehicle-resources/owner-manuals/2017/mazda3/2017-mazda3-owners-manual.pdf#page=417 | PDF page 417 DECISION CHECKS Is the correct US schedule chosen and are the available invoices readable? Yes — ready for this check → Continue with the steps, stopping if the real component differs from the manual. Not yet / not sure → Preparation saved. Return when the condition is confirmed; leave the vehicle untouched. Urgent warning or vehicle/schedule mismatch → Missing record, due item or conflicting schedule: request a service-history review. What can be established from the actual service records? Applicable items reconciled and next actions recorded with dated evidence → Does each claimed completion have a matching invoice item and actual date/mileage? Missing record, due item or conflicting schedule: request a service-history review. → Missing record, due item or conflicting schedule: request a service-history review. I have only prepared the plan → Plan prepared; no physical maintenance result recorded. Does each claimed completion have a matching invoice item and actual date/mileage? Completions supported; unresolved work retained in the ledger → Applicable items reconciled and next actions recorded with dated evidence The observation or repeat check is still incomplete → Plan prepared; no physical maintenance result recorded. Missing evidence or overdue work still needs service review → Missing record, due item or conflicting schedule: request a service-history review. RECHECK After receiving invoices or completing service, which open items now have real completion evidence? After care: __________ Retest: not checked / improved / unchanged / worse If an earlier condition changes, reassess the later checks and result. RESULT CHECK What can be established from the actual service records? Applicable items reconciled and next actions recorded with dated evidence Record only the result you actually observed. A saved web checklist is not confirmation that a vehicle has been repaired. Does each claimed completion have a matching invoice item and actual date/mileage? After receiving invoices or completing service, which open items now have real completion evidence? STOP CONDITIONS Urgent warning or vehicle/schedule mismatch Missing record, due item or conflicting schedule: request a service-history review. A part, label, connector or fastener differs from the cited manual; access requires raising the vehicle; you cannot identify the correct component. SERVICE HANDOFF Take the recorded observations, their dates and any actual work history to the service provider. Missing record, due item or conflicting schedule: request a service-history review.
