Getting Close to my first oil change
Well its getting closer to my first oil change in my 8.
I could search all the hundreds of posts of what oils and filters to use.
But alot of the information is old, I want to know what you guys are
using right now and why. Please reply with:
Oil Brand & Weight:
Filter Brand:
Thanks for your help. Matt

A lot of the information is new, too. There was a recent thread on filters. The OEM Mazda filter ran rings around the name brand mass market filters.
Dealer has been changing my oil (freebie for the first two years) and uses the Mazda filter. That's what I'll keep using. I top off with Castrol GTX 5w20, and will keep using that for changes after the freebie ends.
Make sure you find the DIY info on getting the original factory filter off.
