vs
Engine oil IDEMITSU or Total
I use idemitsu rotary 20w50
I stick to Idemitsu. I have a Sohn adapter fitted, so it's 10-30 Idemitsu in the engine, twice a year and Idemitsu Premix in the Sohn adapter and in the fuel tank.
Pros: idemitsu in the engine
Hey, op! I have the exact same car and I created [a similar topic a few weeks ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/peugeot/comments/xuw2qq/peugeot_207cc_questions_for_car_dummies/ir03z3m/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app/ir03z3m/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) and decided to purchase [this one](https://www.endado.pt/p/quartzo-total-ineo-ecs-5w30-5l-total-217263) for my car, been using it for a few weeks and so far so good. :)
Pros: so far so good
Vehicle:
Peugeot
My old 308 (2010), had the same engine; Total Quartz INEO ECS 5w/30
Vehicle:
Peugeot 308
I don’t use the Mazda-branded version, but Idemitsu is my go-to oil in all of our Mazdas
Pros: go-to oil
Vehicle:
Mazda
Total quartz is good
Pros: is good
Ran it for a few years in my 02 ALH with no issues.. supplied by my local VW certified (but not VW themselves) mechanics shop.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Idemitsu is the only premix and engine oil I’ll use ... you can order it for a good price from TREx performance out of NJ and he will ship
Pros: good price, easy to order
The oil was Idemitsu Synthetic 0W-20 with 12.5k miles on it. Once again, trace metals and flashpoint were within normal range. I also ordered a TBN to measure the amount of additive left and that showed there was still plenty of active additive remaining.
Pros: trace metals normal range
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 12500 km
In terms of oiling, get a sohn adapter so your apex seals aren't being lubricated with crankcase oil, and instead are injected with rotary-specific oil, like idemitsu.
Pros: rotary-specific oil
