Many engines in the Mazda CX-5 have a timing chain instead of a timing belt. These usually never need to be replaced. On this page you will find a list of Mazda CX-5 engines that have a cam chain.
You will also find information about which engines that have a timing belt.
I have collected information about various popular diesel engines and petrol engines from 2012 to 2021.
The timing chains in Mazda CX-5 are known to last very well as long as service and oil changes are handled.
If you hear a rattling sound from a motor with a timing chain, it may be a sign that the chain needs to be replaced.
Consult a mechanic if you hear a strange engine noise, especially if it is a rattling sound.
This can occur if, for example, the car has not been serviced properly.
If you are considering buying a used Mazda CX-5, make sure that the oil changes are made according to the car’s interval.
