Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[Ry_Tower]

maganda nga siguro.

meron dito sa Davao, nag bebenta nang Amsoil sa shop nya.

interested nga ako eh. for my wigo. Fully syntethic lasts for atleast 10k mileage.

my wigo packs almost 5k odo for 2months because of my workplace and home.hehehe

or meron bang mas maganda?

Amsoil is one of the best. Mobil fully synthetic is also highly rated same with Shell's FS.

Oil consumption is widely known in mazdas. Factory fill is probably 0w20. I'm not sure if they use 5w30 during the yojin period. Maybe Trav has more info.

My cx-5 dipstick, it mean’s normal right? Just below the max and above the minimum...

Or need to top-up or no need?
Thanks mga bruh...

No need. Are you relatively comparing oil levels under same conditions....like x minutes after engine off or prior to day's 1st start? If not, you can't have an accurate read on consumption, if ever it's happening. Are you sure your last oil change had it on F?...or... You probably have been zoom-zoomin' like Hamilton, ray bai.[emoji4]

Different cars behave differently. I recall our gen2 CRV burnt more than a liter every 4k since new. My brother & cousin had the same model, burnt same. The V8 LC200s, worse. The Skyactivs....never seen levels drop yet.

The rotary was known for that, not the Skyactivs. 5w-30 is factory recommendation for the tropics, 0w-20 for temperate regions.

Ah so less oil consumption after getting the oil changed

Sorry, just edited...0w-20 for temperate. To clarify, Mazda has always used 5w-30 here, never 0w-20. And, Skyactivs aren't known to consume oil.

From factory its 0w20, hence when Ray does his oil change.. his mazda will have less oil consumption

Mazda initially fills Skyactiv engines from the factory w/ their GF5 Moly oil for reduced friction. Ideal for break-in period.

Used Zic X7 5w30 on my Mazda 3 for this oil change. Last year I used Shell 0w30. Saved almost 2k this time since I had the change done at the friendly neighborhood talyer that had a proper lift. OEM filters were used for both. Checked and rechecked the oil level last night and this morning and it's just below max when filled with 1 gallon of oil.

Wife immediately noticed the difference when she took it out this morning. Mukhang humataw na naman!

Chatted with the Mazda parts guy while queued at the cashier. He said that they use 5w30 while the car is under Yojin3. After that they use 15w40 by default unless otherwise instructed.
