Mazda CX-5: Diesel oil dilution
Answered by Graham Smith · 12 Apr 2013

Mazda told us that the fix to rectify CX-5 models affected by oil dilution issues has been made available. Along with a simple software update to modify the operation of the Diesel Particulate Filter, a revised dipstick will also be fitted. Mazda dealers have been contacting owners of affected vehicles to arrange to have the fix applied under normal warranty provisions. The software change should affect the operation of the filter and fix the problem, so you shouldn't have any more trouble with the oil level rising. Talk to your dealer and make sure your car has the fix.
