What can low oil do to my Mazda CX-9 engine?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Mazda CX-9 engine to fail. 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?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. 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 help your car perform 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. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Mazda CX-9?

Mazda recommends changing your 2023 CX-9’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mazda CX-9. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
