Should I check my Mazda CX-9 motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Mazda CX-9 engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

How hard is it to change Mazda CX-9 oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Mazda CX-9 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Where can I get Mazda CX-9 oil changes?

Why is the oil light on in my Mazda CX-9?

Your Mazda CX-9 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.

Do I need to replace my CX-9’s oil filter when changing my oil?

You should replace your Mazda CX-9 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2021 Mazda CX-9? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Mazda recommends changing your 2021 CX-9’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your CX-9 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mazda recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mazda CX-9. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
