    What Do You Drain Your Oil Into?

    I have the same container as the original poster. It works quite well. I just took it to Jiffy Lube yesterday to empty it out.

    Mixing types and grades of Mobil 1

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I've been lucky and not experienced any smoking issues with my turbo and I'm at 22,000 miles. I was just thinking that the one quart of 0W-40 would give me a little boost to the viscosity. I also wanted to make sure that there weren't any large differences in the...

    Mixing types and grades of Mobil 1

    The time has come to change the oil in my MazdaSpeed 6. I bought two jugs of Mobil 1 0W-30 AFE to get the $10 rebate. The car takes six quarts or so. I was thinking about grabbing a Mobil 1 oil change special from AutoZone with some 0W-40 European Formula for my car and a couple of quarts of...

    I'm going to follow my OLM!!

    I followed the OLM in our '04 Envoy. After 11,700 miles, the seven quarts of Mobil 1 held up very well. Wear was excellent.

    PP 5W30 5,642- Mazdaspeed 3 2.3L DISI Turbo

    Originally Posted By: Gary Allan That's my take. While fuel is high, it doesn't seem to be an issue in the other numbers. At least not enough to fret over. I've noticed the same in my Mazdaspeed 6. There is obvious fuel dilution, but the wear numbers don't seem to be too high. The potential...

    gas pumps that run slow

    I always thought they set the pumps slow so you wouldn't see the dollar total climb so quickly.

    New Mazda Viscosity Recommendation for 2.3 Turbo?

    This is interesting. Do you have a TSB or similar document for this? I just bought a few jugs of Mobil 1 0W-30 since it was cheap after rebate.

    Mobil 1 0W-20, 8,057 mi 2008 Mazda CX-9 3.7 L

    Wow, quite a bit of debate over my results. I chose to run Auto-Rx since I read somewhere on this forum that it was good to use on newer vehicles to help with break-in particles. I did not have enough knowledge of chemistry to know that it wasn't a good mix with Mobil 1. As far as the extended...

    Mobil 1 0W-20, 8,057 mi 2008 Mazda CX-9 3.7 L

    I tossed in the Auto-Rx to help carry any break in particles that may be remaining. It was a maintenance dose. I don't have anything in there for this interval yet.

    Mobil 1 0W-20, 8,057 mi 2008 Mazda CX-9 3.7 L

    I just got my report from Blackstone for our CX-9. The manual calls for 7,500 mile intervals and since the vehicle is still under warranty, I am going to stick with that interval. I used Mobil 1 0W-20, not the 5W-20 that the report indicates. I also used a Mobil 1 filter. I also did add 3 oz of...

    dri wash 'n guard waterless

    Dri Wash is one of those network marketing products. It's expensive and not that good. There are better waterless washed out there for much less money.

    Can't Use 10W-40 in a 2002 cavalier?

    I have a feeling that it would still be running like new if you used the recommended oil viscosity. Can you post the exact wording in the manual that has you so upset?

    Video card memory lane

    A couple years ago, we help my wife's grandparents move out of their house in Ohio so they could become permanent snowbirds in Florida. This ad was in the newspaper they used to wrap some of the "treasures" they kept in the basement.

    Mobil 1 5W-30/4908 miles/2007 Mazdaspeed3

    I have had very good numbers from Pennzoil Platinum in my MazdaSpeed 6. I do plan on giving Mobil 1 0W-30 a try for the next interval for the $10 rebate.

    2006 MazdaSpeed 6 DISI ,2900 miles PP 5W-30

    I suppose I should contact Blackstone about their mistake. Some of the values listed on the bottom are probably based on the use of 5W-20.

    "Helped" at Home Depot Today

    I have no problem with multiple employees ask if I need help. They ask once and it is done. It's the ones that follow me around trying to sell me something that annoy the bejeebus out of me.

    Not the Yankees AGAIN!

    I pay the $14.95 annual fee for MLB Audio. It's nice to catch my Blue Jays games while trying to get work done. Now I just need to figure out how to get that site through my cell phone. :)
