A 2015 Mazda CX-5 requires an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles using SAE 0W-20 synthetic oil (

confirm with your owner’s manual

If you go into the “Oil Change” menu we discussed earlier, you’ll be able to customize the mileage marker when you want to receive the service alert (orange wrench icon).

If you wait too long, you may see a new light on your dashboard: the Engine Oil Warning Light (orange dripping oil can). That indicates your oil is too old or your oil pressure is too low—both of which can cause serious

damage to your engine

if ignored.
