Which Engine Oil do I need???
 

Had my 8 for 2 weeks now, not sure, but I have bought

"Mobil Super FE 5W-30 Special. Semi-Synthetic Motor Oil"

I'm from the UK.

Is this good or bad???? :tear:

Please delete this thread instantly. And go search. There is no question asked...and answered...on this forum more.








If you can't find it, then please use baby seal oil. Directly from the baby seals if possible

^ Lol

damn it 9k, that's my line!

R.T.F.M. !!!!!!!!

surely you can get a copy of the manual for your car. check your glove box or check mazdauk's website. On the us version, if you register online, you have access to a digital version.
all will be answered there.

Use 5w20-5w30 depending on the temperature.

Stay away from synthetic oil.

Come on are you serious? There are way too many posts regarding oil. Everyone has their own opinion in regards to this topic. Use the search button and come to your own determination.

Bp.

Sorry man, the vet in me brought that one to mind :lol:

This is about the time someone says, I use canola oil.

Good question! Whille we're at it, does anyone know what the best exhaust is? And I need a CAI that'll give me like 20 hp.... maybe a little torque too.

^I've heard good things about the BHR sticker.

my nonna shes old and only speaks italian she told me olive oil

Use any oil that blends well with fuel (mobil 1 doesn't...). Synthetic or semi makes no difference in your application. i'd say 5w30 or 10w40 if you don't have freezing temperatures where you live.

For god's sake don't change it every 12000miles.

So you are more of a 15000 mile guy? :D:

:rollingla Right to the point LoL. I like that......

Yeah, it causes mold to grow on your dipstick. Looks like brown foam. If you see this take your car in for compression test and valve resurfacing.

Jokes aside it causes premature seals and housings wear since it doesn't lubricate that well inside the combustion chambers.

I deeply and resoundingly disagree. Please, provide studies stating as such, including experimental design and methods. No anecdotal evidence or hearsay, thank you.
:smoker:

This post plus a couple of rebuilt engines that used mobil 1 (pretty popular oil here) and showed more housing wear than the average engine that uses the OE dexelia 5w30 or other synthetics.
Does it suffice? :)

Wow tough crowd here eh..........

There are a mountain of oil threads on this site. You can't turn a corner without running into one. Please search and read.

Yep. A pretty tough crowd. :SHOCKED:
