Your Mazda CX-5, Mazda 3, Mazda 5, CX-9, or CX-3 from Oxmoor Mazda can provide many years of safe, reliable, sporty transportation in Louisville, KY, and the surrounding areas as long you provide your Mazda with the proper maintenance. Regular oil changes contribute a vital component to this maintenance.
Not all Mazda’s use the same engine oil. Your Mazda will use either 0W-20 or 5W-30 oil. Mazda vehicles can use either full-synthetic oil, semi-synthetic oil, or conventional oil. Synthetic oil makes the best choice for high-tech engines. You need to switch to a high mileage oil once you put 75,000 miles on your vehicle because it better conditions the crankshaft seals. Our service center offers all three types of oil change services:
Regularly scheduled oil changes help keep your Mazda healthy by lubricating your engine’s metal parts, improving its fuel economy, and improving engine performance. Maintenance checks that include an oil filter change and engine oil replacement protect your engine parts from wear and tear.
The manufacturer recommends a specific schedule for your make and model of Mazda in the vehicle owner’s manual. Mazda recommends that you have the oil changed in your Mazda every 7,500 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. Besides the regularly scheduled maintenance, you should bring in your vehicle anytime the oil change indicator (the wrench icon on your dashboard display) lights up.
You should stick to the schedule Mazda recommends for oil changes because delaying the oil change can damage your engine. As oil ages, it builds up sludge, gels, and/ solidifies in the engine. Since the oil cannot flow, the engine – and its bearings, camshafts, crankshafts, and other valve train components go unlubricated. As they dry, they crack. That kind of damage requires an engine replacement.
