Hi all,
I've just bought a Mazda 3 with the Peugeot (PSA) engine DV6C that is rebadged as an mz-cd Y6. It is the euro 5 compliant version of the engine. The car itself is a 2011 model which makes it euro 5a here.[1]
What I'm trying to do is figure what is the best oil to put in it that isn't 50 euro for 5 liters and learn about the oil spec PSA B71 2290[11], as I have found oil that meets this but I wonder if any of the other oil specs are better.
My manual states API CF-4 or B1/B3/B5 with a viscosity of 5W-30 or CF-4 or B3 10W-40.
If I put in a ford focus, a Peugeot 407, a 308, 508 with the same engine to the Castrol oil tool, it gives me their 5w-30 C2 oil which has the PSA Spec, but if I put in my Mazda 3 I get the 5w-30 LL.
Does anyone know if there is a hierarchy there?
The PSA oil is to my understanding a C2 or C3 oil with other tests, to me that means to me that I can use a good c3 oil with saps up to 0.8 % weight over a c2 which are normal a 0.6% weight.
I have found a few oil that different manufactures recommend(I understand that recommends and approvals are not the same thing).
I will buying trough amazon or another online retailer you recommend.
I will be updating this list during the week as I find more or you recommend more brands.
