Engine oil Eneos or IDEMITSU

IDEMITSU Engine oil

The oil was Idemitsu Synthetic 0W-20 with 12.5k miles on it. Once again, trace metals and flashpoint were within normal range. I also ordered a TBN to measure the amount of additive left and that showed there was still plenty of active additive remaining.

Pros: trace metals normal range
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 12500 km

IDEMITSU Engine oil

In terms of oiling, get a sohn adapter so your apex seals aren't being lubricated with crankcase oil, and instead are injected with rotary-specific oil, like idemitsu.

Pros: rotary-specific oil

Eneos Engine oil

I have exclusively used Eneos 0w-20 in this car - the non-Sustina version. This past oil change, I started using Eneos Racing Street 0w-20 as they're phasing out the OG 0w-20.

Both have worked very similarly for me. No issues with anything other than E85 dilution when I'm running it.

Pros: worked very similarly, no issues
Cons: E85 dilution

Eneos 5w-20 in my 2008 2.3 liter Mazda3. It's a Japanese-branded synthetic oil that you can get from Napa Auto. I've found that with Eneos, my Mz3 stops consuming any oil (in both my 2007 and 2008 2.3's).

Pros: stops oil consumption
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 181000 km

IDEMITSU Engine oil

Subaru OEM oil is Idemitsu 0W-20. I currently use Idemitsu Zepro\* 0W-20, a high-moly formulation from the same manufacturer.

Pros: high-moly formulation
Vehicle: Subaru
