What’s a Mazda CX-5’s oil type?

Mazda has never really been on my radar, but I’m blown away by the CX-5’s reviews and will consider it for my next car purchase. I currently have a backstock of oil, but I’m not sure if I can use it in the CX-5.

As long as the specifications are appropriate and the oil has not expired, you could definitely use up your backstock on your new ride! The
Mazda CX-5
takes 5W-30 engine oil.
Be sure to use only oil “Certified for Gasoline Engines” by the American Petroleum Institute (API). This will extend the health and lifespan of your engine and give you
