I think the factory manual says 30k. But I know "everyone" on here does it probably more like 5-6k (every 2 oil changes or so) But thats overkill in my limited opinion

I would stick with mazda recommendation at 60k unless you're having performance issues.
I did change mine at 30k and didn't notice any change. I think my next one will be another 60k mi.

15k is what I have heard and I do since it's no big deal but the guy who rebuilt my engine says that's excessively conservative.
