Oil Fill Levels...Who Would You Believe?

[DwightFrye]

It is well known by Mazda CX 5 owners that in order to get the dipstick to read at the top mark after an oil and filter change on the 2.5L Turbo engine requires 5.5 quarts and not the 5,1 quarts that are published in the owners manual. I don't want to start out almost a half quart low even though that is probably OK for the engine.

LOL - yep; that's what I do too. The dealer seems to be the only one who has an issue with not simply installing 5.0 quarts as the OM states.
