How often should the Mazda3 have its engine oil changed?

[CharlotteLynn]

Mazda3 should have its engine oil changed every 5,000 kilometers. Engine oil plays multiple roles including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It consists of base oil and additives, where the base oil is the primary component of the lubricant, and the additives compensate for and improve the performance shortcomings of the base oil. The Mazda3 is a compact sedan produced by Changan Mazda, with dimensions of 4582mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1458mm in height. In terms of configuration, this vehicle is equipped with features such as one-key start, a 7-inch instrument panel display, a multi-function steering wheel with four-way adjustment, an 8.8-inch central control screen, an 8-speaker audio system, one-touch up/down for all four power windows, and front and rear center armrests.
