    Signs your Mazda 6 needs an oil change

    How do you know it's time for that oil change? If regular servicing has slid off your radar a bit, it’s helpful to know the signs that your oil is going off, and when you need to book in with mycar to avoid potential problems. Keep an eye out for the following telltale warning signs:

    • Smoke billowing from your exhaust pipe
    • Engine knocking noises
    • An oily smell inside your car
    • Black, gritty oil—it should be golden and smooth, not dark and rough

    How often do you need an oil change?

    Knowing when your Mazda 6 oil change is due will help you keep it purring along nicely. So, you should book in for an oil change every 10,000 km to 15,000 km, or roughly every 6-12 months (whichever comes first). However, if your car's doing a lot of stop-start driving or you're the proud owner of a caravan and like to tow it around on adventures, you might want to consider changing the oil sooner rather than later.

    FAQs

    How often does a Mazda 6 need an oil change?

    You'll want to change the oil in your Mazda 6 every 10,000 km to 15,000 km or about every 6-12 months—whichever rolls around first. But remember, depending on your driving habits, such as towing heavy loads or lots of stop-start driving that can place more stress on your engine, you may need to change your oil more often. So keep an eye (and ear) out for the signs.

    What kind of oil does a Mazda 6 take?

    A Mazda 6 typically uses 5W-30 or 0W-20 oil, but always check your owner’s manual for Mazda's recommendation for your specific make and model. As different engines require different types of oil, you need to be careful to use one suited to your Mazda’s engine. If you use the wrong oil, you risk damaging the engine components.

    How much oil does a Mazda 6 take?

    Depending on the exact model, a Mazda 6 will take between 4 - 5.1 Litres of engine oil for a total oil replacement. You’ll need to check your owner’s manual to get the exact specs for your vehicle though. Or you can always have a chat with our friendly mechanics, who can let you know what your car needs.
