Welp, I have a newer family hauler. A 2018 Mazda CX-9.
Bought with 2 miles on the clock after some uninsured jackwagon hit the 200K mile Mazda MPV.
So far, I've been getting synthetic oil changes at a 5k OCI at the dealership.
I've known people who've had warranties dropped for having Independent Shops do oil changes or DIY oil changes.
I'll take over the oil changes when the warranty is up.
Owner's manual recommends Mazda OEM oil or Castrol.
I know Mazda themselves isn't drilling for oil. So are they purchasing from Castrol for their Factory Fills and OEM oil?
I keep Shell Rotella T6 5w40 Synthetic around for my motorcycle. I use it because it's NOT an "Energy Conserving" oil with the friction modifier pack for the wet clutch.
I also think the Rotella is better at high temps; the motorcycle has a rather small cooling system.
Would using this oil in my CX-9 (2.5L I4 Turbo) be detrimental?
