How much engine oil is appropriate for the Mazda6 Atenza?
2 Answers
The Mazda6 Atenza 2.5L engine normally requires 4.4L of oil, while the 2.0L version takes 4L. Below is relevant information about the Atenza: 1. Overview: The Atenza serves as FAW Mazda's flagship and strategic model, developed as a new-generation mid-to-high-end sports sedan flagship based on Mazda's 'break conventions, start from zero' philosophy. Vehicle Features: As Mazda's new-generation flagship model, one of the Atenza's standout features is its application of Skyactiv technology. Compared to traditional naturally aspirated engines, the Atenza's Skyactiv engine achieves a high compression ratio of 13:1, with both fuel efficiency and torque improved by 15%. The vehicle comes standard with features like i-stop idle stop system and brake energy regeneration system. The Atenza 2.5L model accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 8.3 seconds, with a minimum combined fuel consumption of 6.9L/100km, while the 2.0L variant achieves an even lower 6.3L/100km combined fuel consumption.
I remember the last time I changed the oil for my Mazda6 (Atenza), I did it myself at home to save some money. My car has a 2018 2.5L engine, and it usually takes about 4.8 liters. But I always add it slowly and then pull out the dipstick to check, making sure it's between the min and max lines. If you add too much, oil foaming can damage the engine; too little can cause wear. For mine, I replaced the filter first, so the oil amount needed a slight adjustment to around 5 liters. I suggest referring to the owner's manual, as it may vary by model year. Personally, I start with 4 liters and then top up. If you're unsure, it's safer to go to a repair shop—don't end up like me on my first attempt, getting covered in oil. Safety first is always the right approach.
