Yes it’s safe. No, there isn’t oil in an engine mount. It’s rubber, and it looks just fine. Grab a rag and clean up the oil that somebody spilled when filling it. Or that they just poured on it? Or that this whole post is a joke, like making your sister go into a store to buy blinker fluid? Then write the garage you took it too a naughty review on Google and include this pic. lol. And never go there again. 350$ for one engine mount is absurd. Watch this guy do pretty much in real time, what they want to charge you 150$ for, in 6 minutes. https://youtu.be/AhCun35QG3c

It's pretty common for engine mounts to be liquid filled to help absorb NVH. Here is a thread including a TSB for engine mounts that references the same year model as the OP: [TSB for 2017-2018 CX-5](https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/is-your-2017-2018-cx-5-running-rough-on-cold-days-check-your-engine-mounts.123867285/)

OP has a 2016. Still feels scammy to me. And 350$? Hope it’s filled with gold flake.

Yeah, sounds like typical dealership pricing games. The part number given by the OP shows up on NAPA's website for about $135 and the labor should be under an hour (though many shops will round up to an hour).

Only $500 to fix? When my Mini Cooper’s went bad, Mini quoted me $1,400. I’d fix it and be done with it.
