Greetings "Oil-ers"!
I'd appreciate it if anyone can recommend 'my friend' an engine oil for 'his' 2007 Mazda 6.
Previously, he has used Redline's 5w-20 in the summer, as well as Castrol Syntec, and most recently this past winter, some really cheap-o Formula1 stuff.
He does however, do autox's 2-3 times a month, for the duration of summer (May-September)
Habits/specs: (Driven in Toronto)
- 2007 Mazda 6 V6 @40,000kms (a handful of kms over 10,000/year)
- Factory calls for 5w-20
- 80% city, 20% highway
- Always driven conservatively (70% mother, 30% him)
- Slushbox, and shifts before 3-4000rpms
He's looking for a more 'performance' (so a premium is okay) for summer due to autox's, and a regular oil for fall/winter.
- Autocrosses are generally in 2nd gear, from middle of rev range, to redline of 6500.
Would like to try Schaeffer's 5w-20 for the summer, and Castrol Syntec in 5w-20 as well for the remainder of changes.
Comments, critique, and advice is greatly appreciated!
