You buckin' for Moderator? :D Superfan 05-16-2003, 06:59 PM Mazda recommends the use of extra virgin olive oil & a stick of butter. That combo is good for 12k miles. It’s also common knowledge that stuffing a coffee filter by way of the oil filler pipe is more efficient than changing the oil filter.

I used Mobil1 when it first came out, and was impressed overall. The Amsoil has better anti wear characteristics. Synthetics have better flow in cold temps, higher evaporation (boiling points) and offer better overall protection that dino oil That being said, I'm still going to use quality dino oil for the breakin period and then next oil change after that. The synth is often too slippery to properly break in most (but not all motors).

I'm just fine with either! wakeech 05-21-2003, 01:36 AM extra virgin is from the first squeeze of the olives... virgin, i dunno what that's all about, how many squeezes, or filtered or whatever... yeah yeah, it might not be what you meant, but i'm tired and clueless :p |
