I'd say the cleanliness is more a testament to Mobil 1, that looks fantastic.
No, my cars are listed in my signature
Wallet would have DEFINITELY been
Yeah, 5W-20s work just fine. My Accord at 648,000 has used 5W-20 for almost every single oil change since new and still running great.
Tig1 would definitely approve of this post
Not sure about Android, but if on an iPhone, if you turn the phone and use landscape mode the signatures will show up. At least it does on an IPhone 12 Pro Max
This is more of a testament to a well designed engine.
Any oil would produce these results.
Mazda is the 21st century king of bullet proof engines in my book.
Had a 2005 6. Sold it to the next door neighbor after I put 80k or so of mostly highway miles (my trip/touring car) The neighbor is approaching 200K now. With most of that being city driving. It has had a steady diet of Motorcraft 5w20 syn blend at pretty much 5k intervals the whole time (and the cheap wix cartridge filter available from o'reillys). We replaced the valve cover gasket last summer and it was as clean as the above photos. Good motors, good cars.
Works on an ancient note 9 android too
1 quart every 1k or so, like clockwork, for years. These engines are known to consume some oil after 5-10 years. Original cat, yes.
I certainly would.
Or not, according to this Mustang. For the first 36k miles car saw RP then Amsoil (SS and XL) until ~145k miles, then 1 OCI of M1HM. OCI were 6-7k. Pics taken at 151k miles.
