Dealer won't use synthetic oil - 2022 CX-5 Turbo

The CX-5 turbo owner's manual has the correct capacity of 5.1 quarts.
more like 5.1 L . Mine takes 5.3 quarts to get it to max with new filter oem.
5quarts is only at the L mark on the stick.

on my non turbo 5quarts is little bit above the middle between L and H.

go figure why the manual says different.

5.1qts puts me right between the L and H. it then stays there for the remainder of the OCI.
 
You simply won't convince me I am hurting my engine by doing 7500 or even 10K oil changes per manufacturer.
I don't believe any of the BS conspiracy theory that car companies don't care what happens to your car after the warranty. That they don't care if cars don't last these days. They learned what happens if you build 'disposable' cars. People still won't buy "American cars" because of the crap they built in the 80s.
You also cannot convince me that motor oils and engine technology hasn't advanced significantly since 1950 when the 3,000 mile OCI was invented in the USA.
Why is that a USA thing?
 
Oils have improved considerably, however, in the modern era of positive crankcase ventilation and direct injection, that pushes in the other direction. I've seen enough engine tear downs to avoid 10k OCI. I think 5k is perfect, especially with the turbo, and would only push 7.5k if I were a highway commuter.
