Engine oil Castrol or OEM Subaru
Castrol Power1 is really good though
I change the oil myself...to ensure it's done correctly and with quality oil (I use Castrol Edge). And I go by the oil minder. I do smell gas during oil changes but it's not strong and never in the cabin between oil changes as some have reported.
I have a 2010 civic si, I use shell rotella T-6 5w-40 due to burning issues and one quart of Castrol 5w-30 high mileage full synthetic (I’m picky lol- but my car runs smooth and has consistent oil levels on the dipstick through the weeks after oil change)
Buy Castrol Edge engine oil for your Mazda 2.5, but do get the Mazda transmission oil.
I\u2019ve always preferred Castrol gold.
In my 323i with the 2.5L N52 engine, I use Castrol Edge 5w40 with the appropriate LL specification. Oil consumption is 3000 km per liter, with 190,000 km on the clock.
Castrol is really good considering cost and quality.
I replaced the plugs, oil/filter and air filter with oem parts when I got it. I\u2019ve been changing the oil at 5k intervals with the recommended Castrol 0w-20.
I did burn more Castrol than kroon. now i cannot get kroon and changed to Motul which seems to burn faster than kroon.
I tried Castrol and was not a fan, found it burned faster than any oil I used.
