I am curious if people in hot climates use 0w-20 weight oil. It is going to get warmer fast where I am, and 0w-20 is such a low viscosity. Mazda recommends it so I am using it.
Yes, I get Mobil 1 0W-20 from Costco, 6x1Qt= ~$29.
Price seems to fluctuate a lot here. I have never paid the same price for it.Castrol Edge at my Walmart is $30 bucks. It went up in price.
Mazda recommends flexible oil change interval for 2018 CX-5 which is up to 7,500 miles or 12 months. This should satisfy the warranty requirement.I use 0w20 mazda moly. This would be my first Arizona summer on the cx5.
Have to change 5k miles or 6mo because of the warranty.
unfortunately in my case Arizona falls into schedule 2 of the 2018 maintenance - 6mo or 5k miles due to
-dusty conditions
-extreme hot conditions in summer
Just checked the owner's manual for 2018 CX-5. Schedule 2 (severe driving conditions) still uses Flexible maintenance for oil change, although there're 2 exceptions:unfortunately in my case Arizona falls into schedule 2 of the 2018 maintenance - 6mo or 5k miles due to
-dusty conditions
-extreme hot conditions in summer
