Hey guys! I’ve had my Mazda6 2018 Touring for about 3 years now, and it’s been a smooth ride until recently. During a long road trip, my “low oil” indicator popped up after 500 miles. I topped up with about 8-10oz, and the level stayed constant for the next 1500 miles. Even now the oil level is the same as it was after I topped it up.

Any thoughts on this? Also, does Mazda’s Powertrain warranty cover such issues before hitting 100,000 miles? I am at 98 000 miles now.

    8-10 ozs isn’t much and that’s a bit troubling. That’s because if it cleared the low-oil warning light it only just BARELY clears it, leaving a potentially much larger volume of oil you should have available that’s not there.

    Check oil level with the dipstick. Make sure it’s at the full mark.

    When and where was your last oil change? It could have been a low (or near low) fill?

    Everyone should make a habit of routinely checking the oil, especially right after an oil change. You’d be surprised how incompetent some technicians are.
