Hi guys, I'm new here,
I just got my MZ3 month ago, and about reaching her first 1K now. Everything just as prefect as it could be except the milage. I do 99.98% City driving and I only got 300KM per tank. I don't know if it's normal for 06' Mazda 3 AT Sports GT HB but it seems worst than worstest story I've heard.
But highway driving my MZ3 is perfectly good that give me 300KM+ half tank (cruise @ 100KM/H)
. My friend suggest me to try some better engine oil like M1, Amsoil, etc that will helps on milage, because he think 1) it's a new car; 2)I have a good driving style.
My questions are:
1.) Can a good engine oil helps milage?
2.) Will it better if I have oil changed before 8K? Because my dealer told me I only need change engine oil at every 8K, and they using Mazda brand oil.
3.) If both questions is YES then which brand I should use on my MZ3? Like German Castrol is very good but I can't find it anywhere in Vancouver.
Any input will be appreciate.
