I bought my CX-5 2.2 diesel auto new in March 2014. Last week a warning light flashed up on my dashboard stating that there was low oil pressure, which could cause engine damage and the oil level should be checked.
On checking the engine oil level using the dip stick, the level was above high and just below the 'X' mark. I took my car into be investigated yesterday and I was advised that the DPF regeneration of the oil filter had caused diesel fuel to dilute the engine oil and raise the oil level. It was down to Mazda goodwill gesture that they replaced the oil and oil filter. I have completed 10,000 miles with a week day commute up and down the A3 duel carraigeway for 22 miles. I was challenged on my driving pattern whether I did lots of short trips ( they assumed I was a stay at home mummy doing school drop off's) but this simply isn't the case with my daily commute.
Has this event occurred to anyone else?
I have received no reassurances that the event won't happen again in the future and I could be hit with the cost of a premature oil and oil filter change before my car service is due every 12,500 miles.
How are you supposed to know when your car decides to proceed with a regeneration cycle? How often does the DPF regeneration occur and what is the basis of the regen cycle?
Very disappointed to have problems with my new car already.
Thank you in advance for positive, sensible feedback.
