This car can use 5W30 or 0W30 engine oil. Here is some relevant information: 1. Axela: The Mazda 3 Axela is a compact car with a very attractive exterior design and a slightly luxurious interior feel. Mazda cars are known for their excellent handling, mainly targeting young people. 2. New model: The 2021 Mazda 3 Axela 2.0L automatic Zhixuan, Zhiya, Zhiyao, Zhirui, and Zizun versions come with 18-inch tires. The original tire brand is Bridgestone, with the tread pattern being TURANZA-T005A.

For the new Mazda 3 Axela, I believe the most suitable engine oil is a 0W-20 full synthetic oil, primarily because this model is often equipped with the SkyActiv engine, which is designed to require low-viscosity oil to optimize fuel efficiency and protect the powertrain. When maintaining my vehicle, I insist on using original or reputable brands like Mazda-specified oil to ensure it meets the ILSAC GF-6 standard, avoiding cheap products that could cause long-term wear. If the vehicle frequently runs on highways or in high temperatures, I check the dipstick and change the oil regularly, approximately every 5,000-8,000 kilometers or every six months. If the oil's sealing performance is poor, it may lead to increased fuel consumption or difficulty starting. Remember, using an inappropriate viscosity like 5W-30 could cause unstable oil pressure and incur additional costs, so it's best to verify the vehicle manual recommendations with the technician during each maintenance service.

As a car owner, I've been driving a Mazda 3 Axela for several years and prefer using 5W-30 synthetic oil. It's economical and durable, performing stably in high-temperature summer regions. Choosing reliable brands like Shell or Mobil can prevent impurities from affecting engine longevity. My experience suggests adjusting the oil change frequency based on driving habits—for instance, in frequent city traffic jams, I change the oil every 7,000 kilometers to prevent carbon buildup or insufficient lubrication from damaging components. While engine oil isn't expensive, neglecting it can degrade overall vehicle condition. Once, after using low-quality oil, my engine noise increased—a lesson that made me prioritize certified products to save on repair costs and drive with peace of mind.

Dear Mazda 3 Axela owners, if you pursue smooth handling, try 0W-20 synthetic oil which can improve acceleration response and fuel efficiency. I learned this from a friend - after choosing it, the engine runs smoother, starts faster especially in winter, and reduces pollution emissions. Simply check the oil specification - GF-6 will do. Keep oil change intervals within 6,000 km and combine with regular oil level checks to prevent leakage risks.

What Causes a Car to Stall Unexpectedly?

Reasons why a car may stall unexpectedly include: electrical circuit issues; spark plug problems; ignition coil malfunctions; intake system issues; fuel injection problems, etc. If a car suddenly stalls, check the ignition, intake, and fuel injection systems. The ignition system mainly consists of spark plugs and ignition coils. Spark plugs are wear-and-tear components that require regular replacement. Prolonged use can cause the electrode gap to widen, affecting ignition energy. Issues in the fuel injection system can disrupt the engine's fuel supply, preventing normal operation. Problems in the intake system can affect the engine's air intake, as the engine requires a mixture of air and fuel to function properly. Any intake issues can also lead to engine failure.

What does SP mean in engine oil?

Engine oil SP refers to the quality grade of engine oil. SG, SJ, SL, SM, and SP are all grades of gasoline engine oil, with SP being the highest grade currently available. The higher the grade of the engine oil, the higher its various technical indicators, which can significantly extend the engine's service life, prolong the oil change interval, and reduce maintenance cycles. Engine oil plays multiple roles in the engine, including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the deficiencies of the base oil, providing certain new properties, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.

What Lights to Use When Driving in a Tunnel?

When driving in a tunnel, use low beam headlights. The lighting inside tunnels is dim, and turning on the low beams helps alert other vehicles to your position, ensuring driving safety. In case of an accident or the need for sudden braking inside the tunnel, promptly activate the hazard lights to warn following vehicles to slow down and avoid. Low beam headlights must be turned on in the following situations: 1. When driving in areas without streetlights at night, or during dusk when it's dark or at dawn when light is just appearing; 2. During heavy fog, snow, or rain when visibility is obstructed, even during the day; 3. On certain roads where lighting is insufficient despite the presence of lighting equipment.

Why Do Brake Pads Make Noise?

Reasons for brake pad noise: 1. Excessive wear of brake pads: When brake pads reach the warning line or are excessively worn, they often produce abnormal noises, mainly manifested as sharp metal friction sounds, accompanied by poor braking performance; 2. Hard brake pad material: Since most original brake pads are made of semi-metallic materials, friction between the pads can easily generate noise; 3. Foreign objects between brake pads: During driving, foreign objects such as sand or gravel may get lodged between the brake pads or discs, causing abnormal noises during braking; 4. Improper installation of the braking system: This is mainly related to the spacing between the brake pads and discs, as well as the tightness of the nuts.

What to Do When Car Windows Won't Roll Up or Down?

Solutions for car windows that won't roll up or down: 1. Reset the window lift system: Seek professional technical assistance; 2. Clean debris from the glass guide channel: The owner can use a wet towel or chopsticks to reach into the glass guide channel, applying force to scrape up and down for cleaning, while continuously washing away the removed dirt until the guide channel is completely clean. After cleaning, check if the window glass returns to normal operation; 3. Directly replace the window regulator switch: The window lift switch is a common component in daily vehicle use, with high frequency of use, leading to a higher probability of damage. If the window cannot be rolled up or down, replacing the car window regulator is recommended. Owners are advised to visit a 4S shop for replacement.
