Why check the motor oil level in my Mazda CX-5?

Can I change my Mazda CX-5 oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Mazda recommends changing your 2024 CX-5’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your CX-5 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mazda if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mazda CX-5. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
