2016 Mazda 3 2.0 Skyactiv 0W-20 Super Tech Advanced 7462 Miles

[BMOC91]

Just got back my first UOA ever. I commute 100 miles a day and wanted to get a feel for how long I can go on an oil change for my driving habits. I'm pretty happy with the results. Also the oil filter used was a Fram Ultra 7317.

Nice report!

I just pee'd a little when I saw that report.
Basically zero wear.

Doesn't get any better than this!

Super Tech Advanced. How does this oil differ from the regular Super Tech? Walmart doesn't have much info, other than saying it's a 20k mile oil.

Are you on the original spark plugs?

nice report!

Your highway commutes are working well with this Skyactiv & 0w-20. I'd change nothing...keep it up!

I don't really know, I haven't looked into it much. I bought a few of the 12 quart boxes of the regular Super Tech 10k mile synthetic when they went on clearance so I will be using that for the next couple years. Can't beat spending $81 for 8 oil changes worth of oil. Don't think I'll have any issues in the least using the same mileage interval. I am considering testing the 10k variant at the next oil change just for curiosity sake to see if there is much difference.

nice report!

No I replaced the spark plugs at 90k miles with NGK Ruthenium HX plugs.

Low wear; low contamination; strong base left.
10k mile OCI is a no-brainer for your vehicle. Possibly more, but just increase a little at a time.

I don’t like the viscosity but clearly your engine didn’t care. Great report.

 

[NO2]

Great report! Makes me want to buy a Mazda

P.F. has a video of all 3 SUPERTECH synthetic oils ( ADVANCED included ) and the synthetic blend placed on 4/9/23 . All are S.P.,GF-6A . There are V.O.A.s for all @ 7:10 into the video . The ADVANCED looks well .

How did the OE plugs look at 90K? I ask because we have a 2.5 Skyactiv in the family and I already bought NGK Rutheniums and I had planned to replace the OE plugs at 90K.

 

[JohnnyJohnson]

Imagine if you will that great and even on Super Tech!

With how you drive it, 10-15k looks fine! Super resulted.

They looked fine, a little worn down but nothing out of the ordinary.
