What type of engine oil is best for the Mazda CX-5?
1 Answers
Mazda CX-5 generally performs best with Mobil 5W-40 full synthetic engine oil. Mazda has not officially specified which type of oil to use for the CX-5, as long as it is genuine. Below are some relevant details: 1. The choice of engine oil should be based on the engine's requirements. It is unnecessary to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher demands. 2. Multi-grade oil is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness, long lifespan, and high efficiency, providing better protection for the engine. Given the characteristics of multi-grade oil, it may appear darker or show lower oil pressure compared to conventional oil during use, which is normal. 3. If the engine is in good condition and the seasonal temperature is low, using lower-viscosity oil is advisable to ensure smooth oil flow. In high-temperature seasons or when the engine is severely worn, higher-viscosity oil helps form a protective oil film and reduces engine wear.
