My friend picked up a Mazda 3 2006 with the 2.L engine. Has 150,000km on it which is about 95,000 miles. Old owner doesn’t know what oil he used or what he got done at the shop but he assumes probably regular. Car doesn’t seem to have any active leaks or everything right now. We came to pick up some oil and found Mobil 1 high mileage on sale.
Would you say this is a good oil to use for the engine? Or is it not beneficial to use HM if there’s no leaks that we know of. I just thought to pickup the hm since it was cheap. However i judt wanan ensure that using an HM early won’t cause problems or if it’s better to use a normal oil for the engine. it was the same price as normal oil so we thought why not.
or maybe for my specific engine, is there a best oil? Like maybe the Mazda like a certain oil brand
thx
UPDATE just found out it has the 2.3L
