    Oil Change after only 2k miles in the past year

    I usually change my oil every year. However, this year I have only driven about 2k miles. Almost all my driving is highway and I don't do short trips. What is your opinion on waiting for more miles to accumulate before changing my oil/filter?

    What transmission fluid is inside?

    Trying to figure out what fluid is in the 2024 CX-5 CE NA with cylinder deactivation. The manual does say A7 but dealer was thinking FZ...Says I can find it on the dipstick...Didn’t see it looking down at the top of it, guessing it won’t be ok to mix.
