Maintaining your 2022 Mazda CX-5 with regular oil changes is essential for optimal engine performance and longevity. At Everyday Mazda, we recommend following these simple steps to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly.

Step-by-Step Oil Change Guide

Before you begin, gather the necessary tools: a new oil filter, the correct grade of engine oil, a wrench, an oil drain pan, and gloves.

  • Warm up the engine: Run your CX-5 for a few minutes to warm the oil, which helps it drain more completely.
  • Lift the vehicle: Use a jack and secure it with stands to safely access the underside.
  • Drain the old oil: Place the drain pan under the oil drain plug, then carefully remove the plug and let the oil flow out.
  • Replace the oil filter: Unscrew the old filter and install the new one, lubricating the gasket with a bit of fresh oil first.
  • Refill with new oil: Replace the drain plug securely, then pour in the recommended amount and type of oil through the engine’s filler cap.
  • Check oil level: Use the dipstick to ensure the oil is at the proper level, adding more if necessary.
  • Dispose of old oil properly: Take your used oil and filter to a recycling center or Everyday Mazda service department.
