Mazda Bongo Engine Oil

What oil should you use for your Bongo?

In standard UK operating temperatures use 10W/30 oil or in colder climates use 5W-30.

As an alternative you can get away with 10W/40 or failing that 15W/40.

Changing Oil

It is important to keep a schedule of regular oil changes at 3,000 miles. You need 6 litres of 10W/30 oil for the Bongo according to Mazda.

You will need

• 6 litres of 10W/30 oil
• Copper washer for sump plug
• Oil filter

Place a bowl under the sump plug and undo it using a 19mm socket. Drain the oil into the bowl and then into the empty oil container when you have refilled the Bongo.

Change the copper washer on the sump plug every oil change and the oil filter every other oil change.

The oil cap is under the passenger seat for refilling the oil. Check levels on the dip stick to ensure you have filled it to the correct level.
