have the alenza 001 on my cx5 for the past 3.5 years/40.000km,been rotating every 5k km and keeping the tire pressure correct,the wear is excellent,can go another 30k kms easy and israel has tough weather. perfect straight line and corner stability,wet and dry traction is top notch as well.been...

ivd is another thing to consider in a di cars.amsoil and penzzoil has the lowest noack if i reacall correctly.

motul 8100 eco lite 5w30 hths 3.3

40% with a big oil cooler ,60mph wind on it,in January. maybe.

thats a lot of consumption for that engine as far as I know.

but i have to say my tail pipes are completely dry after 4500miles with the ss,it wasn't the case with the previous magnatec and ecolite i used previously.maybe the low noack does matter.

the only way to avoid ivds is going full electric-)

ye its a complete disaster guarantee.

had a cts before and the short trips just killed it,cold start misfires u name it,had to move to premium and it went away.

so is that means that short trips where the oil is cold causes more ivd deposits?and how long it takes for the valves to reach 400c?

im curious how often you changed the trans fliud

btw,what is considered a abnormal oil consumption? i believe my car will use a third/quarter of a quart in 7500k miles tops. by now i did 4k miles on the ss and have zero oil consumption.

thats why i bought a mazda,had German and American cars all my life,wanted a low mileage Japanese car for some peace of mind and the cx5 is as simple as it gets in today's terms.

btw im at 30k miles now and will sell the car in 3years at 60k miles give or take.not planing long term ownership.

i did but amsoil would say its ok because they sell it,im looking for unbiased facts.
