Hi everyone,
First post here.
I am back in car ownership after many years leasing and I have a UK 2.5 petrol 2018 Mazda 6. Now in the US this engine has a suggested 0w20 oil in the UK it is 5W30, that is the first confusion.
My second is the ACEA A3 oil, as I see so much more choice in teh A5 derivative and reading the ACEA specifications I see a difference but not something that would be overwhelming?
I have done 8K miles and am going to be dropping the oil at 7K from now on rather than teh 12.5K Mazda have in the service books, I don't thrash the engine and literally would never dream of a red-line run!
I would like to know about your thoughts on viscosity and also A5 over A3 when I can run with the Petronas fully synthetic, or Valvoline.
Many thanks for any assistance and advice
