This is the third oil change on this vehicle. M1 108a was the filter removed.
Oil was initially changed at 3k (PP), and then 7k (M1 0w20EP).
Due to COVID, my driving has been way down. Normally driving around LA is mostly city driving, however some of the average mileage was more highway. This OCI included 2 trips to las vegas in 105+ degree temps, for at least 1000 miles.
I think there is some fuel but I changed this oil from a cold engine which I started to drive up the ramps. However, one of those vegas trips was just prior to this change.
Not really fond of the viscosity drop, but I suppose it doesn't look too bad but could be better. M1 ESP 5w30 and Mazda OEM filter went in. I will resample after 5-6k. Any feedback or comparison points would be great. Thanks.
