So i have a new gen 2 with 6K kms on the clock. Decided to randomly check my oil level and WOW it was below minimum. Looked at the manual and it says that its normal for a new engine to use up alot of oil.
Anyhow I filled up with oil but put waayyy too much. It was like 3 or 4 cm above the 'Max' indicator on the dip stick.
I drove it that day but kept it under 2.500 RPM and took it easy. I then called around and was told to drain some of that oil immediately.
Drained some of the oil for the first time ever on a mazda, wasnt as bad as i thought actually. Almost as easy as my old commodore.
Now i think its all better - just hope i didnt do any damage when i drove it around on too much oil.
