Mazda Rotary Oil???
http://www.mazda.com.sg/Parts/PartsD...wmyodQ65hL0%3d
Is this a new engine oil? Anyone tried it? Price reasonable. |
the dealerships here in the US sell 'rotary oil' as well. I don't believe it to be any different then conventional oil.
Just use whatever you've been using. Castrol GTX 5-20 is very popular here. |
Have been using it....at least better than shell mineral. Think its good enough and cheap to use
|
been using that stuff since i've owned mine - 60,000 kms . Been thinking lately about switching to synthetic because the price of it is about the same .
|
Yep ,Castrol 5-20 is what I use.

MM used to sell them at $69 before the GST increased....now is slightly over $72
By doing oil change at 5000km interval, i don think using synthetic oil makes any economic sense :) |

Now I'm using Shell mineral, so it is quite convenient and it comes in small bottles. If you buy oil that comes in a tin, most lightly you gotta buy another tin for spare. |

I totally agree with you. But in the first place, getting a RX8 also don't makes any economic sense. Hehehe...

Totally agree with you on the topping up part thats why i standby extra Golden SM oil in my boot in a small 1L container :) When i was on shell mineral that time, I used to frequent shell kiosk just to buy the 0.5L shell oil to top up which is very troublesome |
Sorry if its a stupid question, newbie here. Just wondering if its possible to change engine oil by yourself? Cuz i heard its good to change it every 5k, or is it just open the cap and top up?

5K service / oil + filter change 10K service / oil change + some checks 15K service / oil + filter change 20K service / oil change + some checks something like these (in general)... Engine Oil Top Up: check dip stick regularly... (weekly / bi-weekly / monthly) see the consumption, then top up accordingly.... for long distance road trip / track... bring along addition oil for top up purpose |
