I have less than 4000 miles on my Mazda 6TS diesel which I bought new. As the engine appeared to be getting noisy I took my car back to my dealer to have them check it out.I have been told by them that I need an oil and oil filter change (at almost £100) also an oil regeneration carried out (at over £70) because the oil is riding up the oil stick towards the 'X' mark. They say this is because I have not been doing enough long journey driving at over 50 mph. I was never advised to do long journeys when I purchased my vehicle. My main driving is 'town' driving. I have been driving Mazda cars for the passed 30 years and never had this problem before. If this diesel engine is the best Mazda can now come up with I will not be buying another one as I could not afford an oil change at todays prices.
