Yes. I use oil. Sometimes I have to filter out the corn meal from where they fried fish in it. Smells like a home cooked meal as I drive down the street.




Valvoline or Havoline 5w20 non-synthetic are available just about anywhere, so that makes them an easy choice. Other brands depending on what auto parts store you go it.

Castrol GTX 5W-20.

(Surely a newbie shouldn't have to wade through hours and hours of reading to cut to the chase and get a general 'take' on this issue! Perhaps the first thing in the oil "sticky" thread should be a simple paragraph summarizing the two sides of the synthetic oil debate.)

lol thats like the meaning of life...If they should be seen and not heard when do they become non-n00bs??

I also use MRO 5W30, but used SHell Helix 10W40 for 15,000k's (1 service and 2 intermediate changes). Changed because Mazda wouldnt use it and didnt want to go from MRO to Helix every 5,000kms. Once car is out of warranty in 6 months I will change back.

We've done this many times before, but I'll play...

Pennzoil Platinum 5W20 with Lube Control's LC20 at prescribed rate.

Idemitsu Rotary Premix (IRP) feeding engine through OMP via Sohn Adapter.

Additionally, Premixing with IRP (3 oz) and Lube Control FP Plus (2 oz) per fill-up (about 12-13 gallons). I may adjust the rate of premix down if my OMP oil feed increases with the OMP position sensor adjustment I made a short while back.

BG Syncroshift II in Transmission.

BG Ultraguard in Differential.
