Engine oil IDEMITSU or OEM FORD
I buy 5 OE Toyota filters at a time from Amazon ( approximately $6 ea ) Purchase Ow-20 Idemitsu oil from NAPA ( ships free to my home ) in the cost saving 6gal box ( 24 qts ) for about $125 with their online coupon. Use this in both my Avalon and my Tundra- both run like a dream.
5k Ford motorcraft synthetic oil and filter. Bought my truck at 61,000 and it has 75,000 on it now. Love that 3.5 eco boost. Had a 5.7 hemi Ram prior and the 3.5 eco boost outperforms on every level.
This is normal. Wait till it gets below 1k rpm. Modern engines do not need a lot of time to idle after cold start, the ECU handles it. Although, for a few kilometres, do not push very hard. The engine oil (0w-20 idemitsu) is thin, and needs time to lubricate well.
I have a 17 grand touring and I use idemitsu 0w/20 and purolator b9ss filters.
Switch to Idemitsu ( Japanese oil ) - Manufacturers for genuine and even does factory fill for many, they are very premium oils with starting segment already beating the top shelf of alternative brands.
Idemitsu 05-W30 from Unioil kasi I cant find Castrol for my Mazda
Idemitsu is responsible for the oil that powered the Mazda 787b; they know the rotary like no other. I exclusively use their synthetic 20w50 and premix.
Regarding brands, if you want to stick with factory oil without dealer price, Idemitsu is the brand to get. I emailed Mazda corporate and they said Idemitsu is the OEM for their oil.

Heb een ford fiesta, ik koop altijd ford formula F 5w30 geloof ik. Wat in principe gewoon castrol is.
Kurzstrecke verhindert, dass das Öl nicht auf Temperatur kommt, dadurch bleiben Rückstände von Wasser etc, was du der Schlotze führt.
