    Mazda 0w20 Full Synthetic with Moly

    Fair point, I definitely missed that. Interesting. I guess I'll have to try the Fram filter with the Mazda oil next time.

    Mazda 0w20 Full Synthetic with Moly

    Originally Posted By: Brybo86 I think the wear metals are still coming down from break in. I would really like to see this report without the fuel dilution. How is this car typically driven? Even though the flash point is a bit low, the wear metals aren't terrible. The car is driven daily...

    Mazda 0w20 Full Synthetic with Moly

    Hey everyone, I just got my latest oil report back from Blackstone Labs. This time I used the Mazda brand 0w20 with Moly in my 2014 Mazda3. Previously I was using Mobil1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w20 (the left column on the report. While the Mobil was used over winter and the Mazda was used during...

    Mobil1 AFE 0w20 in 2014 Mazda3

    So I looked in the Maintenance schedule from Mazda and the OCI is listed as 7,500 for severe driving conditions (NY) and 10,000 miles otherwise.

    Mobil1 AFE 0w20 in 2014 Mazda3

    It was about a 5-10 minute highway trip to the dealer to get the oil, 10 minutes in the parking lot, 10 minute trip back home via city streets and then about a half hour in the driveway while I got my tools, the car jacked and the oil draining, so that could be part of it.

    Mobil1 AFE 0w20 in 2014 Mazda3

    Hey all, I had a Blackstone oil analysis done for the first time ever. I've browsed this forum and other sites and know some basics, such as fuel, water and other contaminants in the oil is usually not a great thing, the viscosity being lower generally is a good thing and Moly is an antiwear...
