Why Oil Changes are Important

Each time you start your Mazda’s engine, parts and components move and generate heat. Engine oil is a necessity in lubricating the engine, reducing heat and friction during the combustion process. In fact, if your engine is not properly lubricated, it would seize in minutes. As you use your vehicle, the combustion process causes engine oil to become contaminated with carbon, particles of metal, water vapor, and acid. An oil filter is in place to trap these contaminants, but when it becomes saturated the oil will begin to break down and lose its ability to lubricate the engine. Contaminated engine oil will degrade engine components, causing excess wear and sludge deposits. Following your Mazda’s recommended maintenance schedule will eliminate any excess wear and damage on your engine, significantly improving your Mazda’s lifespan.

How to Check Oil Levels

To ensure your Mazda is performing its best, it is recommended that you check your oil levels each month and before any long trips. Completing a few simple steps can help you avoid costly repairs and unwanted issues. To get an accurate oil dipstick reading at home, follow these simple steps:

  • Make sure the oil is warm, too hot is dangerous, and too cold is inaccurate.
    • A good time to check oil levels is while you’re fueling up your vehicle.
  • Ensure your Mazda is parked on level ground.
  • Review your Mazda Owner Manual for proper procedure and oil location.
  • Once the dipstick is found, remove it and wipe it clean.
  • Reinsert the dipstick, and remove it to get an accurate reading.

Choosing the Best Oil for your Mazda

Using the right oil for your Mazda is just as important as following regular service schedules. Most Mazda cars and SUVs recommend using SAE 0W-20, but the best way to ensure the best oil for your Mazda is by reviewing your owner’s manual or scheduling service at The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston. Each new Mazda model uses a variation of synthetic oil, which is formulated with low viscosity, improving fuel efficiency, reducing friction, and increasing power. Though synthetic oil has more of an initial cost, it has over double the lifespan of conventional oil, lasting from 7,500 – 10,000 miles. More benefits of using Mazda-recommended synthetic oil include:

  • Protection against oil breakdown for a cleaner running engine and long engine life.
  • Cleaner oil with fewer impurities, improving protection against varnishing and deposits.
  • Superior lubrication abilities, reducing engine wear and the operating temperature range, optimizing fuel economy.
  • Reduction of oil loss due to evaporation and burn-off.
  • Uniform molecular size results in less friction.
  • Additives can boost protection and clean engines.
  • Better function in cold and extreme weather.
