Blame Mazda North America for communication issues
Mazda Australia seem to communicate pretty well

That was what I was implying...

That's fine, but North America is Mazda's biggest customer. You'd think they would at least make an effort...

Maybe who ever is in charge there or the management team just doesn't get it.....
I won't believe that its cured until I own a 2017 onwards myself.
I have oil rise on a 2013 and 2015 car.
Ask Anchorman - they've had 2 KF CX-5's (red and now silver).
Should be able to advise. If still an issue then I retract my statement.

They seem to have fixed the oil dilution. The 2016 that got stolen was really bad but the 2017 and 18 Ive had dont do it at all.
But is that the same for all 2017 owners onwards, who might use the car differently?
I hope it is solved for everyone, oil rise, but why has it taken 5 years, and way didn't everyone pre 2017 have the oil rise issue.
Back in 2013 even those doing mainly motorway driving were suffering with oil rise issues.
That's why I really hope the US gets the diesel, it will soon be revealed if there are any remaining issues.

All I can say is that my 2016 suffered badly with dilution but not only does the 2017 have different pistons but it regenerates in a different way - for much less time. I’m on my second 2017 on model and neither suffer. The first one did 9000 miles and never moved and this one at 1800 miles appears to be doing the same.
Its safe to assume there still will be SOME fuel dilution as its just a fact of life with engines that are direct injected and turbo whether gas or diesel. However, hopefully Mazda mitigated most of this with the revision of the internals and fuel mapping with respect to the compounding of the dilution problem, due to the DPF.

Not exactly. They were every 50 miles or so with the 2016 and they are about every 230 on the 17 on. They are also much shorter so you don’t know its happened most of the time. It doesn’t make the booming noise from the exhaust either.

I’ll tell you in April when the oil gets changed but the last car which had 9000 mile had no measurable dilution. You’d have to have the oil analysed to be sure.
I know in my F150 ecoboost , you can definitely tell from the smell alone. The oil analysis shows a consistent 2% in only 5000 miles. I’d hate to see that oil in 10k miles! [emoji51]
That is good to know!
