CX-5 turbo oil level drops before service interval

I'm seeing the oil level fall enough between services that I now check it regularly. No obvious leak. For other turbo owners, what documentation/tests did you collect before bringing an oil-consumption concern to the dealer? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

Log the conditions before you spend. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2021 Mazda CX-5 catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. On “5 turbo oil level drops before service,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Ask what changed right before it started. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2021 Mazda CX-5 catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. That's the branch I'd chase this week. This is from a 2021 Mazda CX-5 in Florida. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. I keep a notes app thread for this now.
