How often does a 2017 Mazda CX-5 need an oil change?

Even though the maintenance light is a good indicator that it’s time to change the oil, it’s also wise to know when to expect that little light to turn on.

Experts recommend that you use SAE 0W-20 full synthetic oil—which means you can go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between oil changes. If you don’t drive too much, that could be as seldom as once a year!

If you do opt for conventional oil (which is cheaper), you’ll have to change your oil more often—every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.

Either way, be sure to perform regular engine oil checks, looking out for dirty oil, a change in engine performance, or new sounds or smells coming from your engine.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
