The recommended oil type and capacity for the 2017 Mazda3 is 0w-20 and 4.4 quarts, and it is important to change the oil periodically. It's generally a good practice to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to prevent engine issues. Using high-quality oil is essential for optimal engine performance. Neglecting oil changes can lead to problems like a burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to avoid potential engine damage. Poor quality oil can cause engine failure and result in decreased gas mileage, as well as the development of knocking noises from the engine.
