My mother recently purchased a new 2021 CX-5 with the 2.5 turbo engine. She is inquiring about the initial break-in period.
The manual basically states for the first 1000km to avoid racing the engine, avoid driving at constant speed and avoid driving at full throttle.
I did see there are some reports of 2021 Mazdas equipped with the 2.5 turbo engine are experiencing higher than normal oil consumption. I am wondering if there is anything else that should be considered during the initial break-in period or just to follow what the manual recommends?
Also, the manual states that Canadian models are to follow the severe-service guidelines, which indicates an oil service every 6 months or 8000 km whichever occurs first. She will likely be at well less than 8000 km when the 6 month mark arrives. Would it be okay to change the initial factory oil fill early?
