My CX-5 diesel has developed the well-documented engine oil problem. It’s traveled 7000 km since the 50,000 km service and the engine oil light is warning of high oil level due to presence of diesel in the engine oil. The dealer says it is normal for the diesel and car needs a service and oil change. Mazda Australia refuses to talk to me about the problem.

Mazda released a so-called “fix” for the problem you have. It involves a new dipstick and modified software for the diesel particulate filter. The operation of the DPF was said to be the cause of the problem according to a Mazda spokesman when the “fix” was released. Go to your dealer and have the rework done.
