Used it for years in high mileage motors. 215,000 on a 1.8 turbo VW
used no oil between 5,000 mile changes.
Ok, so here’s my anecdote: a friend of mine had an old Ranger that had an oil pump failing. He didn’t want to pay me or anyone else to pull the engine and replace the pump so I suggested he just throw a bottle of this in there and see what happens.
Well, his oil light went off and oil pressure improved.
I run 5w-40 in everything. Mazda Skyactiv, Toyota 3UR, Honda J35. They all like it and run quiet.
I bought a Mazda CX-5 dealer test car with 300 Km's on it back in 2015 when I moved up to Osaka. I drive a LOT and was getting the oil changed roughly every 5000 km's per Mazda's recommendation.
I use Mazda's weight recommendation for my environment, as illustrated in your owners manual. I use 10W-30 and 15W-40 Full-Synthetic oils with zinc additives to stave off carbon deposits.
From my personal experience, I used to use Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum oils, which are really high-quality oils. However, I did notice a big difference when I began using the OEM Mazda oil. I don't know what is so different about it, but my engine runs much more smoothly and very quietly. When I am at a stop light, I don't even feel the engine running, it's gotten that quiet, and I just hit over 100k miles.
I use Mazda Moly 0w-20 in our 2014 Skyactiv CX-5.
Lucas tool oil is great.
Remember that the rotary engine burns oil by design and does not particularly like eating synthetics. Expect to use old fashioned dino juice and change your oil every 3000 miles.
So I drained the gearbox while I was there and refilled with 1/4 Lucas oil, the rest 80/90
