Ok wait now that I’ve read into this I would say there is nothing surprising in that study. It’s been a long time since any auto maker has recommended 3k oil changes. 10k and 15k are not uncommon. Mazda at 7500 is definitely on the short side. So far ours doesn’t appear to consume much as I never needed to add in the first interval. Should probably check soon as I have about 1000 on the 2nd.
Edit: actually Mazda is probably right on with 7500 as at least in my case this engine doesn’t appear to consume much oil.
