Engine oil OEM Mazda or Total
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.
Total quartz 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.
It worth looking at Total Quartz Ineo Long Life 0W-20, complies with VW 508 00. It will be my pick for my 2019 Tiguan 2.0 TSI EA888 gen3-B V100 = 8.1 V40= 40 VI= 183 Pour Point = -66 C
That'd be nice. I could just run the same oil in the Tig and my Golf TDI. 504/507 Total Quartz is quite a bit cheaper than the Castrol 0w20 and it's been doing great in my Golf according to the Blackstone reports.
I use total quartz. My tuner and other local shops that work on European cars highly recommend it.
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.
Total 9000 seems to be just fine for my Pug and it is recommended by manufacturer.
Although this is exact replacent, mazda OE still uses Mazda branded GF-5 which is exactly the same oil but branded Mazda....
Love these high molly low viscosity oils. Absolutely the best out there
