As more thanks for their hard work during the pandemic.
During the 2020 pandemic, many automakers stepped up to produce ventilators and other essential medical supplies. To thank medical workers who worked tirelessly last year, Mazda offered free oil changes and even gave away 50 MX-5 Miata 100th Anniversary Special Editions to heroes who helped their communities. Mazda s Essential Car Care Program for healthcare workers was so successful, the company will now offer a new program.
Available now through participating dealers, Mazda North American Operations will once again offer free oil changes, this time for the education community. The program began in July and will run until September 3. Most makes and models are eligible, even for educators who don t drive a Mazda MX-5 Miata or any other Mazda vehicle. During last year s initiative, Mazda mentioned a few exclusions, including exotic cars, classic cars, and vehicles with greater than an eight-quart engine oil capacity.

PORTLAND, Ore. Wearing a mask for protection is nothing new for Ursula Hood. She received a kidney transplant in 2011, and doctors recommend she wear PPE to avoid any complications.
“Ever since then, whenever I’m in any crowded space I’ve always worn a mask just to protect myself, said Hood.
When COVID hit she saw an opportunity to share from her experience. We all have to give back to each other, we have to help each other out, said Hood. I’m super grateful for my donor and I was just thinking, well, how can I help the community?”
