Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or OEM Mazda
Everyone pushes whatever brand they use but when you're talking group 4 oils you're splitting hairs to some extent because they are premo quality. I've run them all and if I had to pick I'd probably throw my hat in for Liquimoly Leichtlauf High-Tech 5W40. That's the full synthetic version. Watch out there is a synthetic blend version they sell now, not as good.
Decided to go back to (and probably stay with) Liquimoly Leichtlauf 5W-40 (the blue bottle that says fully synthetic).
Liquimoly in all my VW's. 5w40. Liquimoly in all my friends VW's as well. Everything from a Mk4 2.0, to a MK7 R, to turbo R32s. ****s the best.
I run LiquiMoly, zero issues.
I use the Leichtlauf High Tech Engine Oil (5w-40). It's TBN is quite a bit higher and I think the evaporation loss is lower.
I run the 5w-40 synthetic liqui moly in the dark blue bottle. can be sourced locally in US at NAPA for about $45. Many run the Mobil one 0w-30, I use that along with a LM engine flush, which I do every oil change( 6 month intervals) I have tried the 5w.-30 from Liqui Moly also. Best performance hands down 5w-40 year round. It has all the specs for our cars.
since I have been using the Liqui Moly I really have not had that much of an issue with oil loss.
I actually just bought that Liquid Moly 5w-40 on Amazon, more expense but reviews for our cars are great. Will report back after my next oil change.
Going to use what I use on all my VW's - Liqui Moly Good quality and Amazon has some great prices.
I used castrol edge 502 spec , although Iwatched pauls from DAP video and he specs Liqui Moly, which seems like a high quality german oil.
