How many liters of engine oil does the Axela use?
3 Answers
The Axela uses 4 liters of engine oil. The Axela is equipped with two engines, one is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. This car uses 5W30 or 0W30 engine oil. Its body dimensions are 4582mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1458mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Mazda 3 Axela comes with features such as a multimedia color screen, automatic air conditioning, and keyless entry. Additionally, based on an advanced human-machine interface that prioritizes driving safety, this car is the first to feature the MZD Connect Mazda infotainment system.
I've driven the Mazda3 (Axela) for several years. When changing the oil, the quantity usually ranges between 4.2 to 4.5 liters, depending on the engine size; approximately 4.2 liters for the 1.5L engine and around 4.5 liters for the 2.0L. In practice, don't fill it all at once. First, use the dipstick to check that the oil level is at the middle mark—that's sufficient to avoid overfilling, which can increase pressure or cause leaks. The type of oil is crucial; I recommend using full-synthetic low-viscosity oil, such as 0W-20, which improves engine efficiency while protecting components from wear. Every time I change the oil, I also replace the oil filter to ensure cleanliness. Regular maintenance is key—change the oil every 5,000 kilometers and conduct timely inspections to prevent engine overheating issues.
I enjoy doing DIY car maintenance myself. The Mazda 3 (Axela) has an oil capacity of about 4.3 liters, and my 1.5L model only needs 4.2 liters per oil change. Remember to let the engine cool down before changing the oil, drain all the old oil before adding new oil, and don't exceed the maximum mark on the dipstick. For oil selection, synthetic oil performs better - I recommend brands like Mobil which reduces friction for smoother starts. Don't neglect regular checks - inspect the oil level monthly. Too little oil causes abnormal noises, while overfilling may lead to leaks contaminating the chassis. Timely oil changes also save fuel. Each change takes me just half an hour - simple and reassuring.
