Im just wondering - has anyone heard anything about how the newer Skyactive diesel engines are faring out reliability wise for Mazda and its customers

I know there are/were issues with CX 5s - oil levels raising again in Australia - but have heard it claimed this was all down to a dipstick not been calibrated correctly.

This sounds a bit too convenient to me - but im wondering how are European cars - especially the 3 and the 6 getting on.

My dad has the 2.2d in his CX5, done 40,000 miles in a year and no issues.

I've not heard anything about the rising oil levels in the UK.

The CX-5 and the 6 both suffer from diesel being blown into the oil. The level doesn't/shouldn't alter too much, but it does cause oil pressure warnings.
