DOES YOUR MAZDA CX-9 NEAR SAN ANTONIO NEED AN OIL CHANGE?

Oil changes are one of the most straightforward regular maintenance services needed for your Mazda CX-9. Even if this is your first vehicle, you’re probably familiar with how oil changes work—and the potential consequences of avoiding them. No matter your car’s age, you can only go so long without changing your oil and replacing the filter. Our Mazda dealer near San Antonio can help.

When should I change my oil?

This is one area that doesn’t change much between new model years. Sure, your 2020 Mazda CX-9 can go longer without an oil change than a model from ten years ago, but unless you have an electric car, you’re going to need one sooner or later. With the new Mazda, you can go about 5,000 miles without changing your oil. This works out to align with other types of service, like tire rotation and disc brake maintenance.

The 2020 Mazda CX-9 uses 5W-30 synthetic oil, which helps it run smoother and longer, even if you do a lot of driving. That said, don’t wait for the oil light to come on before you check your oil or get it changed. You don’t want a clogged filter or low oil.

Putting off an oil change can create major—and costly—problems, so pay attention to your mileage and any issues with your car like exhaust smoke or a burning smell from the engine. If your oil light does come on, check your oil to make sure you’re still in the safe zone before you keep driving.

If your Mazda CX-9 is racking up the miles and needs service soon, come to Ingram Park Mazda near San Antonio. Our Mazda dealer and technicians dedicate time to ensure that your vehicle is running correctly before we send you back out on the road.
