C3 can be used in either diesel or gasoline. It also carries the API SN designation which meets the requirements in the manual but I do see what you are both saying but it can be used in gasoline w/o mental gymnastics "ACEA C3 Stable, stay-in-grade Engine Oil with Mid SAPS-Level, intended for...

I think i'm going to switch to a euro spec oil. Per the manual it just needs to have a SN, SM or ILSAC approval rating. Like I mentioned the Castrol C3 oil is the leading candidate and it has a SN rating. Amsoil XL is also a little better than Amsoil signature and has ALL the ratings. In case...

Yeah so I got the car back today. In the three business days they had the car they did a scan for codes, drove it and changed the oil. They also contacted Mazda HQ who said because everything seemed A OK they weren't going to pay for any other tests. So I got the number for Mazda HQ and I'll...

My Mazda dealership has had the car for about two days now and so far their position is: 1. It's not hindering drive ability 2. There are no codes being thrown by the computer 3. Because of 1 and 2 everything is fine The service manager admitted this is the first time he's ever seen...

The only difference is that mine is a 2.5 T, it could be the boost is allowing for more blow by. It got me wondering if that's the reason Mazda specced 5W-30 for the turbo engines, they're expecting some dilution in the change interval. A change interval of 7,500 miles on an OEM speced synthetic...

No I live in the southeast but it has been wintery. Spirited, I don't redline but I enjoy the turbo. I probably do rev past 4k sometimes. No to long idles. I take my car out twice a day. The first trip is 22 miles round trip. The second trip is 4 miles round trip Normal is below 2% This...

Yeah I read that thread, in October 2020 he reported having the same issue even after the injectors were replaced.

I've been changing my oil since I bought this car. Currently has 19k miles. During the early December oil change I noticed the oil that got on my gloves was separating. It was having trouble holding a film. I noted it and changed my oil two weeks ago at 3,500 miles and sent my oil to Oil...

On closer inspection is was actually mostly or all dirt. I was doing this at night so the lighting wasnt as good are during the day. I crushed a few pieces and they burst apart versus deformed. I did think it was very odd to see as they were small enough for me to think the filter would be able...

Just did the first oil change at 1600 miles. I noticed some metal in the oil drain pan. Not a ton, maybe like a small pinch of salt amount. Got bored and also tore down the oil filter (actually kinda meh construction imho). Kinda sparkly but not terrible, mostly settled on the bottom of the...

I believe i'm on that. I was def on 70.xx when I checked. Did your issue completely go away with the new software version? Even if you read threads around here people have issues but they don't worry about it. I read a thread where the poster was like "XM didn't work, but then the next day it...

Just doesn't load properly sometimes when I start the car. I read someone solved it by subscribing for a year and getting off the free trail. Mostly works great all other times. It's def some sort of software issue. When it happened once I did a factory reset without restarting the car. XM did...

Gah just got my new CX5 GTR. Same issue. About once a week the XM will cut out and I'll get channel 130 and some 300 channels. Super annoying. Doesn't seem like there's anything to be done but id figured I'd post as another vote that this is a software issue. I'll let my dealer know as well...
