Well, BMW oil change interval is long because they use full synthetic oil.
(used to own one)
Your Mazda (and mine) CX9 don't.
Mazda recommends 5000/7500 miles interval for oil change.
I stick with 5000 on the conservative side since a lot of my drives are very short.
Even if you use synthetic on the CX9 (half-blend or full), replace the oil before 7500 miles.
Otherwise, Mazda might not cover it with warranty if something goes wrong with the engine
after that.
Remember the Toyota oil sludge issue a few years back?
Back then, Toyota asked for maintenance records before engine with sludge problem was
covered for repair.
