What They Mean and How To Fix Them
Remember that not all Mazda light symbols are bad. Some light up just to inform you that a certain feature or function is active; these lights are called Indicator Lights.
Engine Temperature Warning Light
This means your Mazda oil pressure is low or you have an oil leak. In either case, schedule an appointment with the Warrnambool Mazda service team before this problem ruins your engine.

A yellow or red oil can symbol means your Mazda may have low oil pressure or an oil system issue. Stop safely and check your vehicle promptly, as driving with this warning can risk serious engine damage.

Not Sure What You’re Seeing?
