Frequently asked questions

What type of oil does a 2013 Mazda 3 take?

It depends on the engine: 2.0L uses 0W-20; 2.0L uses 0W-20; 2.3L uses 5W-30; 2.5L uses 0W-20.

How often should I change the oil in my 2013 Mazda 3?

Most 2013 Mazda 3 owners follow a 5,000–7,500 mile interval with conventional oil, or up to 10,000 miles with full synthetic. Always check the oil life monitor if equipped, and consult your owner's manual — Mazda recommends intervals based on driving conditions, not just mileage.

Can I use synthetic oil in my 2013 Mazda 3?

Yes. 0W-20 is widely available as a full synthetic, and synthetic is safe (often recommended) for the 2013 Mazda 3. What matters most is matching the factory viscosity and specification, then changing the oil and filter on schedule.
