2021 CX-9 purchased 8/2022 with 12k miles, currently at 19k. I am familiar with the TSB and my VIN is within the range for the oil consumption issue.
The car is maybe driven 500 miles a month at best, typically within city with short highway rides. Checked the dipstick before an oil change in June. No signs of consumption. The day after the oil change we took a 2k mile round trip to Flagstaff. Elevation changes, heat, and other variables during this trip. Dipstick is now showing a little more than half above the first hole, so to me maybe a tad less than 1/2 a qt has been burned.
Is this under normal consumption or could it be abnormal? Already have an appt with the dealer next week. I've heard they are more savvy with this scenario now, but I also now the fix is very involved and the wrong Tech can grenade the engine. I'm concerned that 2021 simply wasn't a good year for any Mazda turbo. Other than this, we love the car.
Also, we're about to set out on another trip tomorrow and I'll have a qt of oil handy just in case.
