# 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 Oil Type and Capacity

The 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 takes 0W-20 engine oil, 4.8 quarts with a filter change by engine. OEM filter Mazda PE01-14-302 (later PE01-14-302B), cartridge. Verified against factory documentation, with change intervals and aftermarket filter equivalents.

**Quick answer**: The 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 (2.5L SkyActiv-G (PY-VPS)) takes 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil, 4.8 quarts with a filter change (OEM filter Mazda PE01-14-302 (later PE01-14-302B), cartridge). Other engines differ; see the tables below.

## 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 2.5L SkyActiv-G (PY-VPS) oil (Verified)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 0W-20 |
| Oil standard | API SN/SP or ILSAC GF-5/GF-6 |
| Capacity (with filter) | 4.8 qt / 4.5 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| OEM filter | Mazda PE01-14-302 (later PE01-14-302B), cartridge |
| Aftermarket filters | Fram XG10575, Wix 57062XP, Purolator L14459 |
| Change interval | 7,500 mi / 12 months (normal, Schedule 1); 5,000 mi / 6 months (severe, Schedule 2) |

Note: Cylinder deactivation (SKYACTIV-G with Cylinder Deactivation) was phased in starting with the 2018 model year; use only Mazda-approved 0W-20 to avoid affecting CD operation.

## 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 2.5L SkyActiv-G Turbo oil (High confidence)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 5W-30 |
| Oil standard | API SN/SP |
| Capacity (with filter) | 5.1 qt / 4.8 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| OEM filter | Mazda PY8W-14-302 (cartridge) |
| Aftermarket filters | Fram XG10575, Wix 57062XP |
| Change interval | 7,500 mi / 12 months (normal, Schedule 1); 5,000 mi / 6 months (severe, Schedule 2) |

Note: 5W-30 is the turbo-specific factory fill. Do not substitute the naturally aspirated engine's 0W-20. Uses a different cartridge filter than the non-turbo 2.5L.

## 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 2.2L SkyActiv-D (turbodiesel) oil (Check your manual)

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Viscosity | 0W-30 |
| Oil standard | ACEA C3 low-SAPS full synthetic (diesel-particulate-filter safe) |
| Capacity (with filter) | 5.4 qt / 5.1 L |
| Synthetic required | Yes |
| Change interval | 7,500 mi / 12 months (normal); more frequent under severe/heavy-idle use to protect the DPF |

Note: US-market data on this engine is thin because Mazda sold it for only two model years at very low volume, some third-party oil-selector sites list a smaller ~4.2L capacity for other markets' calibration of this engine; verify against your VIN's build sheet before a first fill. Requires a low-ash oil to avoid clogging the diesel particulate filter. Do not use a gasoline-spec oil.

## 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 oil: common questions

### How many quarts of oil does a 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 take?

It depends on the engine. The 2.5L SkyActiv-G (PY-VPS) takes 4.8 quarts; The 2.5L SkyActiv-G Turbo takes 5.1 quarts; The 2.2L SkyActiv-D (turbodiesel) takes 5.4 quarts, all figures include a new filter.

### What kind of oil does a 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 take?

0W-20 meeting API SN/SP or ILSAC GF-5/GF-6, full synthetic (required, not merely recommended). Other engines in this vehicle may differ; see the table above.

### Can you use a different viscosity in a 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5?

The factory specification is 0W-20 and no alternate grade is listed for this engine. Modern variable-valve-timing hardware is sized around the specified viscosity, so substituting a thicker oil is not a free choice.

7,500 mi / 12 months (normal, Schedule 1); 5,000 mi / 6 months (severe, Schedule 2). Short trips, towing, extended idling, and dusty or very cold conditions all put the vehicle on the severe-service side of that interval.

The OEM filter is Mazda PE01-14-302 (later PE01-14-302B), cartridge. Common equivalents: Fram XG10575, Wix 57062XP, Purolator L14459.
