Mazda 6 oil recommendation

[czah]

Hello

I'd like to ask you what would you recommend for:

- Mazda 6, gasoline, 2 liter, 141 HP, 2003
- 130 000 km
- manual says: 5w30
- most of the time I ride a small trips in the city traffic...

For now it was original Dexelia in use, should I stick with it ? I'm 90% sure there is better option

thanks!

What brands of oil are available to you in the 5w30 viscosity. I personally have never heard of Dexelia.

What we have here is eg.:
- Midland (this is polish Brand for www.oelbrack.ch )
- Castrol Edge
- Mobil 1
- Petro Canada
- Valvoline
- Elf (Mazda oil is called Dexelia, it's probably Elf product)
- Quaker State
- Shell
...

All of those are good oils. I'm a little partial to Shell, but in all honesty, I would pick which one I could get at the best price.

You have Petro Canada oil in POLAND?

Use it - it's GREAT stuff!

I have the same car, manuel says 20 wt. but I use Edge and have had no issues. Winter start ups are great. PP is also doing well in my Civic.
