At what oil level does the "low oil" light come on? Also, for of you with some miles on your CX-5, how much oil do you lose between oil changes (and at what intervals do you change the oil?)
Thanks!
The low oil light blips when oil pressure is too low. Doesn't matter how much oil is in the pan. It could blip during oil starve or anytime oil pressure isn't being maintained..a trashed bearing could cause a low oil pressure light.
The low oil light will come on if you have 1 quart left in the crankcase, or if you’ve neglected your oil changes. If u see that light you must pullover right away and pity yourself.
These engines are not known to burn oil, but some do. I burned 1 quart every 9km so I switched to 5w30 and it is almost twice as long now.
If you drive a lot in the city, change every 5k.
If you drive highway/non aggressive driving, do 7.5k intervals but no longer.
You've gotta stop putting your foot in your mouth man
