I use Mobil1 5w40. It is BMW LL1 certified and goes on sale in the spring at Canadian Tire. Less than 100$ for full oil change.
I have been using Mobile 1 in my 2002 X5 3.0 and my 2001 Z3 2.5i forever. Both vehicles have about 185,000 miles each with no major repairs.
My sprinter is deleted so I'm running 0w40 European car formula.
Mobil One 0w-40 is a great oil for these cars
I've used 7100 Motul forever... and I switched to Mobile 1 and im happy with my choice. Both 10w 40.
Castrol. Valvoline. Mobil1. Supertec. Kirkland Signature. All oils my 2016 CX-9 has had. Now has near 100k miles and runs as nice as the day I bought it. Just change the oil and filter every 5k miles and use full synthetic.
Could be weather related. I'm in Canada and we have weather from -35C to +35C, so Mazda recommends oil changes every 8000km instead of 12,000km.
I use original Mazda oil and Nipparts for the filters. I live in Europe and I buy these for 80€ / 85$.
That Mobil 1 5w-30 has a tendency to burn off, so it might be a bad combo.
i got a little valve clatter when i went to 0w40 on my next oil change i'll be using 5w40 (synthetic)
