Hello,
I have a 2018 Mazda CX-5 and my service reminder is stating to service my vehicle at approximately 3500 miles. Does Mazda or any modern manufacturer still use "break-in" oil? I'm planning on using Mobile 1 0W-20 for the next oil change.
I'm also concerned about oil dilution from the GDI engine. I've noticed some "higher" than full readings during the winter months.
The reason I'm asking is I have run a 27.5 month, 8,537 miles on Mobile 1 5W-20 on our 2010 Mazda 3S (2.5 l). Curious about the effects of the time and type of driving, I had Blackstone run an Oil analysis and based on the 3.7 TBN, they projected that we could run the vehicle up to 10,500 mi regards of the time interval involved. The 2010 Mazda was used for primarily short, urban trips.
So, should I pay attention to the sensor in the CX-5?
Thanks in advance.
