Common questions
What oil does a Mazda take?
It depends on the engine. Across the 9 Mazda engines we hold, the approvals named are Mazda Original Oil Supra DPF 0W-30 (or Ultra DPF 5W-30), C3, Mazda Original Oil Supra 0W-20 (or Mazda Original Oil Ultra 5W-30), A3/A5, SL/SM/SN, A5/B5 and others, mostly in 5W-30, 0W-20, 0W-30. Find your engine above, or enter your registration for the exact match.
How much oil does a Mazda take?
Between 3.9 and 5.1 litres for an oil and filter change, depending on the engine — each engine's figure is listed above with its source. Fill to the dipstick's maximum mark rather than emptying a whole can in.
Where is the oil specification in a Mazda handbook?
Usually in the "Technical data", "Capacities and specifications" or "Engine oil" section near the back, which names the approval code and viscosity, and the oil-change capacity with filter. The figures above link to the handbooks we found them in.
