Oh you'd be surprised, it is considered a cheap vehicle all things considered, the one sold in France doesn't have any options besides some metallic paints, so its unique price is 21k$ new. Which is pretty affordable when you consider that it has very impressive off road capabilities despite its...

That's settled then, I'm going for a Mobil1 5W30 with the approvals you just gave me and call it a day! Thanks again

Really appreciate the detailed answer and your experience with some of these low viscosity oils. a -40 grade does seem unnecessary to you regarding my engine and my use? I do one oil change per year (since I never do more than 10k kilometers a year) so I need something that does a great job...

Well glad to see this engine isn't particularly strict towards oil viscosity, I think I'll head for a 0W30 for the best compromise, after all I think the way I drive this car is more demanding for the engine than the average driver, hence why I shouldn't stick to W16/20 in my situation. Again...

On the highway around 150km/h with the regulator on, when I use this car it's mostly for a big portion of highway and then sinuous mountain roads. As for the range of temperatures we get here in south of France, during winter it can go -6ºC in the morning to +10/15ºc during the day, during...

Thank you for your answers, I'm glad to see that my vehicle isn't truly restricted to just a few choices! As for my driving habit on the highway, I wouldn't consider it to be slow, I'm practically always around 4,5/5k RPM (that's what not being able to go past 5th gear does ahah) so this is...

Hi everybody, I, a French fella, come here today to finally receive some definitive answers from people more knowledgeable than me when it comes to oils, sorry this is going to be a bit long but I’m really lost right now.. I’m the owner of a 2022 Suzuki Jimny (Petrol), it has a 1.5L...

Oh okay my bad, will look for that group 4 oil for the next change, don't believe it's available in France tho

Originally Posted by Bailes1992 Your manuals allow for nearly everything. I wished more cars still came with graphs like that. An oil I bleat on about quite a bit but doesn't get much respect here because it's not available in the US is Castrol Edge 0w30 FST Dexos 2. It meets API SN so you'll...

A soft top, I bought it end of May this year, 2.0 Selection (not like I had the choice with this engine) but I didn't take the sport option, I wanted to keep the car comfy and a bit "multi-purpose" not that I'm regretting this choice or anything but I might buy at least short Eibach springs if I...

First of all, thanks for the answers, you really did help me with all my interrogations! Originally Posted by PimTac Since you are tracking the car I would run the 5w30. If I am not mistaken the Mazda oil in Europe is made by Total. You can run any major brand that meets the specs. The Motul...

Hello everyone! Little disclaimer to begin with, just know that I'm french, so don't get upset if I drop some mistakes here and there So I'm the (happy) owner of a MX-5 ND, the one with the 2.0l Skyactive engine to be precise. My car has reached 8500 kilometers so I was planning on doing an...
