Engine oil Castrol or OEM BMW
Que tal mi amigo, yo tengo exactamente el mismo carro un Mazda 2 2012 lo que podes hacer es leer el manual porque depende del clima del lugar donde lo vas a conducir (en este caso es Guatemala) segun el manual en la tabla API tenes que hecharle 10w30 yo ese uso, yo le hecho Castrol 10w30 full sintetico y cero problemas.
Now they use castrol power 1 ultimate 10w50
I talked with my friend who works in skoda dealership as mechanic, he told that castrol edge is the best motor oil for these mk 3 models because it comes from factory with it. They have run tests on Petrol and diesel engines and best for these engines is edge, because it's made for these engines.
Castrol Edge LL.
I personally use Castrol in all my vehicles, and if I buy used cars I preform an oil flush and start using castrol immediately.
In my 2020 A6 I had aral oil and it consumed 1l of oil in 15k km. Then I used castrol LL and now it does not consume a drop at all.
I like to use Castrol Edge Racing with the 278cc HPE2, made a big difference to running temps, top speed and effiviency.
I go for Castrol for BMW. Somehow this machine really likes it.
I have used Castrol and it seems fine.
HP Prolube is a very low quality oil compared to other oil brands in the market. Castrol has good head sound dampening, as does Rowe, both great for gear shifts and clutch feel.
