anyone use this oil????

first, i do not want to start a war about what type of oil to use, synthetic, or non synthetic.


Has anyone used the castrol synteck? how is it, what type 05w20 or 5w30 or 10w30, ect. . . . .

what type of oil do you use if not?

I know this is old news, but i just to see what the main choice is. again note first sentence.

thank you very much.


i use now just the mazda oil, but im going to start changing the oil my self, and i want to get some opinions.




also, has anyone had improvment in power useing the turbonator, or tornado?







(last part was a joke)

I get oil changes at Mazda and use Syntec to top it off as the bottle fits perfectly next to the washer fluid resivoir in the engine bay.
