    Which oil for 0W-20 and low mileage use?

    A friend sent me here with my question. We have two 2014 Mazdas which use 0W-20 oil. For warranty purposes, Mazda requires us to change oil every six months. These cars are both about 20 months old and have about 7000 miles each on them. We were using the Mazda 0W-20, but the dealers have just...

    Mazda's new propriety 0W-20 GF-5 with Moly

    Originally Posted By: CATERHAM Mazda (or rather you Mazda dealer) is not "insisting" that you change the oil at 6 months, they are recommending.

    Mazda's new propriety 0W-20 GF-5 with Moly

    Originally Posted By: CATERHAM Thanks for letting us know. Yes that translates into a 225 VI which compares favourably with the Toyota 0W-20 (KV40 37.39cSt, 216 VI) and is an improvement on the SM GF-4 Idemitsu high moly oil with it's VI of "only" 197. I've used both oils and the SM Idemitsu...

    Virgin Mazda 0w-20 w/moly Idemitsu SN

    Originally Posted By: DBMaster I was thinking maybe just adding the right amount of Liqui-Moly to the Idemitsu oil might give you something similar to the Mazda version. But, the cost of the additive would end up bringing the total oil cost to about the same level or higher. So, if MOS2 does...
