Mazda suggests using sae 0w-20 oils for the Mazda3. The 2.0L 4Cylinder engine can take up to 4.4 quarts, while the more powerful 2.5L 4Cylinder engine can handle up to 4.8 quarts. When it's time to change the oil, it's best to go with a fully synthetic oil, though semi-synthetic oils are also okay. This is because they are more effective, keep the engine clean, and help extend the life of the vehicle. Don't forget to also change the filters when you change the oil to prevent future issues, poor performance, and clogs. It's recommended to change your oil every 3500 to 5000 miles, which typically costs between $100 and $150.
