My wife has a 2016 Mazda CX-5 with the 2.5L SkyActive GDI engine. She walks dogs for a living and is a full-time mom so she typically does many short trips per day, probably just a couple miles at a time. Enough to drive about 15k miles per year but many, many short trips.
The 2.5L SkyActive engine is also GDI and I believe is known for fuel dilution.
I usually change the oil every 5k but I've noticed lately it is black as ink and smells a bit like gasoline. Is there a specific brand oil that handles short trips and fuel dilution better than others? Thanks!
