Getting a new engine in my 2018 CX-9 (2.5 Skyactiv Turbocharged engine) with 65K miles on the clock. Dealer says it should be back in my hands at the end of January... After two months of waiting.
I'm a weird situation where I'm breaking in a factory new engine but I'm out of warranty and doing my own work.
(Before 60K, I had been taking it to the dealership and having them use their oil and filters.)
Mazda Dealership oil is Idemitsu, which I've seen VOAs have high levels of Molybdenum.
Owner's manual recommends Castrol, which I normally use in my other vehicles. VOAs I've seen show very low levels of Molybdenum.
What's the general consensus on having Moly in a new engine for the break in period?
