Oil Dilema
Hi. This is my 1st visit and so I'm not sure where to go!
I have just upgraded my PZ to a R3. My old car used 5/30w oil but according to my local oil store, the R3 uses a different one. Anybody got any concrete info?? Im confused to say the least :uhh: |
5/30 is fine.

5W-20 is "recommended" [not required] by Mazda (mostly to bolster fleet fuel use averages), but most 'round here go with 5W-30, or heavier in hotter climates. I like Castrol GTX, but there are a number of high quality oils.
And before you further ask... Mazda recommends fossil rather than synthetic oil because they ~"haven't accumulated the long term data necessary to recommend synthetic." At least that's what my 2005 Product Update DVD narrator said. But then it's now 2010, so ..... |
