    honda still recommends changing oil filter every other time you change oil.

    Old oil, LOW miles: The TRUTH please?!

    If you care a lot about your cars, change it every year. Oil is cheap

    2020 Mazda 3 2.5 NA 8005mi Supertech 0W-20/ OE filter.

    all Honda 2.0t engines have this problem. I have spent enough time looking at UOA for these engines here and other forums.

    What 0w16 are you using in your newer toyota?

    Anybody thought why they say “recommended” and not “required” viscosity? If warranty was an issue, do you think the brilliant manual writers would have changed recommended to requited by now?

    Moly or Boron preference?

    If I understand it right, quaker state has more Molly vs Pennzoil. The explanation given was that Pennzoil uses GTL unlike quaker state and thus does not need higher amounts of molly because of its base.

    2020 Mazda 3 2.5 NA 8005mi Supertech 0W-20/ OE filter.

    In this car it dropped by 2cSt, thats not normal. Its not about 0w-20, the engine dilutes it with gas

    2020 Mazda 3 2.5 NA 8005mi Supertech 0W-20/ OE filter.

    Same for my 2.0T Honda engine, in Mexico 5w-30 is OK, but US only 0w-20. I run 5w-30, I have zero concerns with warranty

    2020 Mazda 3 2.5 NA 8005mi Supertech 0W-20/ OE filter.

    I dont know if low metals is enough data to say all is good. The viscosity had a big drop - most likely from fuel

    This car needs one viscosity grade higher Xw-30 if you want maintain viscosity of 0w-20 oil.
