The recommended oil for the 2002 Mazda Tribute is SAE 5W-20. The amount of oil your car can hold depends on the engine type. If you have the 2.0L I4 Zetec engine, it can hold 4.5 quarts of oil. For the 3.0L V6 Duratec engine, the capacity is 5.5 quarts. Engine oil is essential for keeping your engine well-lubricated, clean, and protected from corrosion and friction. Regularly checking your oil level, at least once a week, is vital to ensure it is clean and at the right level to prevent overheating, which can be harmful to your engine.
The 2002 Mazda Tribute manual suggests using SAE 5W-20 full synthetic oil for the car's engine.
Can I use a different type of oil in my 2002 Mazda Tribute instead of SAE 5W-20?
