What owners say
It has an oil consumption issue. Every 3,000-3,500 miles is will give the oil low light. It will be 1 quart low. The car takes 6 quarts of 5w30 synthetic oil and requires oil changes every 7,500-8,000 miles. I have had to put a quart in every time. I have taken it into the dealership and a third party oil service as well. The dealership has no idea why it keeps running through the oil. They state that it's a known issue but no recall.
There have been 3 different ongoing issues. The car was ordered and delivered brand new in April 2022. At 4,000 miles and again at 12,000 mile is would display low oil and require 1 quart of oil. The dealership acknowledged that it has an oil consumption issue, unresolved. I have to bring it in every time it is low prior to its required oil change time/miles. At 19,742 miles the cars battery died. They replaced it an have no reason why it died. Every time I'm driving in the mountain pass the transmission will not advance above 3rd gear. The engine will whine and I have to put it into manual and move it to 4th and or 5th gear. When I coming down the other side of the mountain, I have the same issue with it only advancing to 3rd and not proceeding to 4th or 5th. Then when I reach the bottom and on flat road the message- safety system and deactivated. This last for apx 10 minutes. The dealership has no idea why it does it.
"low oil" indicator came on after less than 5000 miles after oil change. Found oil to be 1 quart low. Scheduled oil changes are 10,000 miles apart, which suggests engine has defect which allows oil to be consumed within the engine. No signs of oil leakage.
I purchased a new 2022 Mazda CX-30 in early 2022. While driving home from out of state recently, a low oil warning light popped up on the dash. I immediately pulled over and checked the level to find only 2-3mm of coverage on the dipstick, well below the safe range. I topped the engine off with a full quart of oil. The vehicle only had 68xx miles on it when this happened.
Low oil light came on twice in first 6,000K. Had to use a quart of oil (total) to refill. Oil dipstick showed low oil both times. Engine is consuming oil with no obvious leaks noticeable on exterior components.
