I switched from a 57002, to a German Hengst H328W. The Hengst is slightly heavier and seems more robust, than the (extinct) OEM Mazda Made in Japan PE01-14-302 I've been saving.

My last LG was a G2..still works to this day. I have 3 smartphones..a $200 Essential PH-1 "Amazon Edition"; a $570 Apple Refurbished iPhone 8 Plus Product Red (as back-ups)..and my favorite, is a $72 daily driver/burner Nexus 5X (2015) from Ebay, running on stock Oreo 8.1/Oct 2018 sec patch. It...

Ditto on the worst..Michelin MXV4+ on my old ATW Passat wagon. The best on that car, was a set of Continental ContiExtreme Contacts. Now on my 2014 Mazda6 Touring 6MT, a set of 225/45/19 Michelin PSS (at 2,000+mi old) to replace the OEM Dunlop 5000s (lasted 39,626/40 mos). The difference in...

My original Panasonic/Mazda N-55D23L-MF is still going strong..at month 50, on my 2014 Mazda6 Touring 6MT. I trickle charge it, once a month with a Diehard DH-6A. It even outlived replacing the deplorable OEM Dunlop 5000s tires (lasted 39,626mi/40 mos)..for a well deserved summer set of Michelin...

Guys, if you have a Costco membership, you can use their car buying service link. The referred Mazda dealer they list also offers coupons, good for any accessories/parts for the DIY'ers. I used one (15% off)...not much, but hey it helps esp if you get a qt of the Mazda Moly (like me, for...

I'm planning to keep the Moly FF for 6mos(or 7.5K, whichever 1st)/OCI to help seat the ring packs, etc..but I have (3) PE01-14-302 OEM Sky-Activ oil filters coming in by next Fri. One will surely be used before month 6..followed by "Mr Blackstone".

At 475mi currently, I won't be doing it anytime soon..though I plan to get a UOA for sure. Btw, I checked the dipstick this AM. The oil still looks VERY clean (somewhat yellowish green tinge). Fresh-like appearance of oil, the same look of oil on my old 1.8T that is only...15mi old.

I have now a 2014 Mazda 6 Touring 6MT that needs none of my old stash (from my long gone 1.8T Passat). I have a vast stash of GC Castrol 0w30, 12qts of Motul 8100 E-Tech 0w40 Ester based, Mobil 1 EP 15w50s, Valvoline 10w30 5qt jugs, Delo 400 15w40s, Valvoline Maxlife 5w30s & 10w30s (the orig...

I was about to get some Idemitsu 0w20 gal jugs at AutohausAZ...till I stumbled upon this thread. Thank guys for this thread and this Mazda Moly 0w20 info. Looong time, no post for me here at BITOG... Got myself a 2014 6 Touring 6MT (finally got rid of the old Mannolator/GC 0w30'ed 1.8T...

Originally Posted By: 147_Grain Recommend you change both the oil and filter during the engine break-in process. So on what miles then for a full change...I heard some go for 1k, some at halfway @ 3,750mi. 2,500mi? Hah, my 5kmi regimen for the old 1.8T with the Mannolator got stuck still...

Hi Guys! Long time, no post. I used to have a 2000 B5 Passat 1.8T Tip...finally traded it in last 5/18 for a JBM 2014 Mazda 6 Touring 6sp Manual (yes, they do exist). It only has 306mi on the clock currently. I have 6mos for my first Mazda dealer oil change...leaning to the Mazda/Idemitsu 0w20...

I just bought two gal jugs of Rotella T5..confirmed at $11.50 in Los Angeles. Along with it, a lone 5qt Pennzoil Ultra 10w30...$25.

I still have two cases of that Classic A3 Delo 15w40..only for top offs on GC (now has Maxlife Syn 5w30) use for my 85k mi ATW.

">> And run the larger filter (forgot the part number). Napa 1333." and Purolator (Mann Hummel) L40316

I run M1 EP 15W50 for my 2000 1.8T Passat. My mileage is a little less than 5k miles a year. Temp-wise, now it's hitting the century mark in Los Angeles... Trips are real local...my work (nurse @ hospital) is but 2 blocks away/4 min tops. I'd rather just walk or ride my bike but since I work at...

Looks like the Odyssey and the Acura MDX would get first dibs for oil burners as an engine option this '09.. http://www.marketwatch.com/News/Story/Story.aspx?guid=%7BA47EE9B5-71D4-4E06-8F3A-4B608FA52919%7D&siteid=google&print=true&dist=printTop

GC, the lubricant of choice..

2,147,051..based on my numerology today.

Oh btw, since my work is walking distance(hospital; Passat sits in garage), wifey drives(and prefers)the Benz to work in downtown LA..DAILY! [ March 10, 2006, 12:49 PM: Message edited by: vwoom ]
