You can look up pretty much any first oil change uoa on any engine and see the wear metals in the sample. These wont necessarily do any harm, but I see no reason to leave them in for several thousand miles. To each their own...
Changing oil more often with right oil is good to the engine, but bad to the environment because oil is a non-renewable and dwindling global resource.
My last vehicle was a pain to change oil in, with skidplates that need to be removed.
Same here with my 99 Ranger 4WD. Slide my big piece of cardboard underneath to lie on and catch any spills. It was a quick job.Most convenient oil changes I ever did.
My new 2021.5 cx5 turbo has 0W-20 on the oil fill cap, in Canada! I am wondering should i do a quick oil change at 1000km or wait till 7000km as advised by dealer.This makes sense because 2.5T uses 5W-30 oil instead of 0W-20 for 2.5L, and Mazda doesnt make Mazda moly oil with 5W-30 viscosity.
2021.5? What changed from the beginning of the year?My new 2021.5 cx5 turbo has 0W-20 on the oil fill cap, in Canada! I am wondering should i do a quick oil change at 1000km or wait till 7000km as advised by dealer.
I want to get the metal fragments and junk out of the oil and engine ASAP. But dont know if they do put in special breakin oil at factory and need to keep till 7k.
Is there a Mazda Tech here?
The 2021Signature Turbo beginning model has SMALLER info screen. The 2021.5 has 10.5 inch screen. Plus maybe software updates. I also got Signature model, with REVERSE auto brake, and not just alert. Dont know if that is new but not on all models in Canada. The broucher also has 2021.5 on the cover. The dealers were willing to give me better deals on 2021 model, but not on NEW 2021.5 model. Just look for 10.5" info screen to tell the difference. I think mine was manufactured in LATE summer of 2021. I hope this helps.2021.5? What changed from the beginning of the year?
Do you think you might have gotten the wrong oil cap from the factory? I wonder if your owners manual has the same viscosity.My new 2021.5 cx5 turbo has 0W-20 on the oil fill cap, in Canada! I am wondering should i do a quick oil change at 1000km or wait till 7000km as advised by dealer.

When you say "quick change" do you mean one of those "Iffy-Lube" Places? I can never pass up the opportunity to use this line.......... "I wouldn't trust them to change my pine-cone air freshener". Seriously, it may not happen often, but once is enough, and it happened to my company van - they didn't tighten up the plug or filter or something and I had a major leak. I don't know that dealers are better - hopefully, but I'd rather overpay at a dealer if I couldn't do it my self.quick oil change at 1000km or wait till 7000km as advised by dealer.
I've had the oil light come on one time. I'd taken my car to the dealer for something unrelated to oil. They informed me after the visit that my oil level was too high, and they removed some.When you say "quick change" do you mean one of those "Iffy-Lube" Places?

Back to your regularly scheduled thread...
I'v never been in those jiffy lub places, they always try to sell u air filters, pcv valves and crap. Do it myself up till now, but now getting on, so will have to go to dealer, just because of warranty. But who knows, i might still crawl under there for fun.When you say "quick change" do you mean one of those "Iffy-Lube" Places? I can never pass up the opportunity to use this line..........

That really is strange. Who did the oil change that was allegedly 'too high'?I've had the oil light come on one time. I'd taken my car to the dealer for something unrelated to oil. They informed me after the visit that my oil level was too high, and they removed some.
A couple of weeks later the oil pressure light came on. I turned off the car, checked the oil, it was on the low end, but not terrible. Started back up and no light.
The light came back on during a subsequent trip. I added some oil, maybe half a quart. Below the max line on the dipstick. Never saw the light again.
I think the dealer mis-measured and messed up the oil level. That kind of pissed me off. I wish they would have shown me the "overfill" measurement before screwing with it.

Canada or not, your 2.5T should use 5W-30 (full synthetic) oil (read your owner’s manual), and the “0W-20” oil fill cap on your 2.5T is wrong! Get it replaced by your Mazda dealer ASAP.My new 2021.5 cx5 turbo has 0W-20 on the oil fill cap, in Canada!

Even on Honda’s where the owner’s manual specifically says don’t change the factory oil early in Break-in section?I always change the oil in a new engine at 1k miles and then again at the first severe service scheduled change, typically 5k. That has always created solid performing engines that rarely consume oil.
