Mazda CX-5 Oil Type Finder

About The Mazda CX-5

Since the Mazda CX-5 went on sale in 2011, its popularity in the UK and throughout Europe has been steadily increasing. The second generation had its strongest year in 2018, shortly after its market launch. But no matter which version wins the customer's race, one thing is certain: every series combustion engine needs regular oil changes to ensure it lasts a long time. Because of the combustion, residues get into the oil circuit via the lubricating film between the piston and cylinder. This intercepts the oil filter in part, some lead to chemical reactions. Over time, the quality of the engine oil decreases, so it can no longer optimally protect the engine from damage.

Mazda CX-5 Oil Change Interval

In the Mazda CX-5, the engine oil is usually changed after 20,000 km or once a year - whichever comes first. Always keep to the appointments for the oil change, because the engine oil should not fall below a certain quality standard. Otherwise it no longer lubricates the moving components optimally and your engine can be damaged.

Under certain operating conditions, the engine oil in your Mazda CX-5 must be changed earlier because it wears out faster.

• Lots of long journeys at low speeds
• Frequently idle operation
• Frequently used in the mountains or on dusty roads
• Mostly short trips
• Predominantly used in hot or cold weather
• Used as a taxi

Save Money on Your Mazda CX-5 Oil Change: DIY oil changes for your Mazda CX-5 can be a cost-effective option, but not everyone enjoys getting their hands dirty. Even if you choose to have a local garage or Mazda dealership perform the task, there are still ways to save money.

Consider supplying the oil for your next oil change; you can easily purchase the appropriate type online or at a local automotive store (such as Halfords or a grocery store) for a reasonable price. Just make sure the oil you use is Mazda approved, as using an unapproved product may void your factory warranty.
