Thanks. In the US only 5w30 is specified. I pretty much narrowed it down to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum or Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30. Once the warranty is up I would likely use the Mobil 1 Euro 0w30

Thanks!! Seems odd that the 5w20 would have a better NOACK than the 5w30. So you wouldn’t necessarily recommend the 5w30 in our 2025 Mazda CX5 turbo? I am using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 right now.

Perfect!!!! Thanks for actually adding value to the thread - bye 👋

Thanks - I read they are now using idemitsu

Yeah - I am going to probably go with that, Valvoline Restore and Protect or Quaker State Full Synthetic.

Do you have a CX5 turbo?

Dammit! I was extra careful in my first post not to do that…..then I let my guard down 😂 - I fixed it.

Here is the second page of the manual regarding the oil. Apparently in Mexico 0w30 is fine and doesn’t mention ILSAC
