Hello All,
Hope you are doing well,
I would like to request your support to recommend some good oils based on my application and also considering the prices,
- Car
2013 Mazda3 2.5 (pre-skyactive) with 65K miles
- Commute
Weekdays 37 mile round trip commute to work mixed driving
Weekend highway 130 miles round trip to see the family
- Maintenance History
Always dealer maintained up to my purchase 3 months ago and i am looking to service it elsewhere from now due to dealership is overpriced.
- Synthetic Oil choices in Mexico (i am targeting to use 5w-30)
Valvoline Synpower 5w-30 $9.15 USD/quart
Castrol 5w-30 (the one previously known as SLX) $10.52 USD/quart
Mobil 1 5w-30 $11 USD/quart
Royal Purple 5w-30 $11.57 USD/quart
Quaker State UD 5W-30 $9.70 USD/quart
- OCI
I always use 10,000 KM (6,000 miles approx) for synthetic
-Filter
Will use FRAM Ultra
I have seen a little bit under the valve cover and it looks really clean
Was thinking to run Synpower but just want to know if the other more expensive oils will actually make a difference in the long run (most likely not).
Thank you guys for any feedback.
(There are other weights available, such as Castrol, and Mobil 0w-40 but was thinking to go 5w-30 for now)
(No Mobil 1 AFE, EP, AP available in Mexico sadly)
