- CX5 Akera 2.2 Diesel
You have no oil raising issue on your diesel CX-5 because you drive a lot at constant highway speed ⋯
Nice bit of selective quoting. The "highway" part of the daily work trip was no more than 15 minutes each way. And frequently in peak hour traffic, we weren't doing highway speeds. During the day the car was used for almost exclusively short local trips. So let's not overstate the extent of its highway speed driving time.
My brothers car does vast majority of its driving around the suburbs and, as I said, since the Mazda upgrade was done, no oil dilution issues.
It's rare to hear of that issue here in Aus these days. Mazda does still advise monitoring oil levels and talking to your dealer if oil exceeds the X level.
The DPF regen cycle seems to happen about once per tank of diesel. Maybe slightly more often. Maybe every 500km..?
In my new CX5, which is my personal car not a company car since I've now retired, so far driven only about 8000kms and all good. Not nearly so much "highway" driving time as my former company CX5.
I think the issue, which was quite prevalent when the diesel CX5 was released here in 2012, is basically resolved.
