okay naman ang Zic, which variant will you be using? Sa office namin halos lahat ng sasakyan, trucks and forklifts included, Zic X6000 ang gamit namin in the last 5 years, never had an issue with it
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
I prefer synthetic myself in my CX50 Turbo, but Mazda engines aren't very picky overall.
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.
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.
I personally am changing my own oil with full synthetic on my 23 2.5T every 6000 km or so. No need other than peace of mind for me. Doing it myself only takes 30 minutes and $35 in oil, filter and crush washer.
For [Naturally-Aspirated Skyactiv engines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyActiv), it is highly recommended that you use Mazda's own(Idemitsu) high molly GF-5 0w-20. [Arguably it is one of the best oil for skyactiv engines](http://www.cleanmpg.com/community/index.php?threads/45295/#post-357910).
I tried 10W40 in my car as 5W40 was beyond my budget at the time and it's been great.
zu viel Kurzstrecke. mach mal nen Ölwechsel und lass den wagen dann mal richtig auf Temperatur kommen.
I’m currently living in Korea and switched to a ZIC SK Enmove X8 5w-30 full synthetic and OEM Kia filter 26300-35505. Pretty much directly after ticking started.
