Engine oil OEM Mazda or Total
No, but I did keep 2 quarts of oil and a gallon jug of water. My Mazda Protege was notorious for burning oil and overheating
Die rcp olie moet er inderdaad in, 5w30. Deze is speciaal door Stellantis goedgekeurd zodat de wet belt minder snel stuk gaat.
I prefer synthetic myself in my CX50 Turbo, but Mazda engines aren't very picky overall.
Total Quartz 9000 5w30 is a good value for money option.
Change the oil at a minimum, and do it regularly. Use a quality synthetic high mileage oil and change it again in a couple thousand miles, then change on regular 5k mile intervals.
It runs a premium (Total) 5W-30 engine oil. Gets an oil change and oil filter every 10,000km or 6months.
I have run 0w20 in my 2013 Mazda 3 skyactiv for 244,000 miles. It doesn't burn or leak any oil between changes. I change the oil and filters every 5-6,000 miles.
our jiffy lube locations use total quartz ineo long life 0w20 which meets vw 508/09 specs. definitely use the vw recommended oil it has all the additives it needs especially with keeping those euro engines clean and less burn off at high temp.
zu viel Kurzstrecke. mach mal nen Ölwechsel und lass den wagen dann mal richtig auf Temperatur kommen.
they only say you can do that with their Mazda-branded oil. That stuff tends to be expensive.
