2025 Skyactive engine 2.5 NON turbo 0w20 vs 5w30

[Urshurak776]

5W-30 in both my Mazda's with the 2.5L non-turbos. Going on 30K in each car. I'm DOOMED!

I ran 0W-20 for 80,000 miles in my 18 Mazda 6 with the 2.5 NA in it. These engines aren't picky at all. Unfortunately I don't have any evidence +/- for its efficacy, but the engine was happy until I got t-boned at a stop sign.

Try Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30. It should stop the burning.
