Engine oil Mannol or IDEMITSU

I stick to Idemitsu. I have a Sohn adapter fitted, so it's 10-30 Idemitsu in the engine, twice a year and Idemitsu Premix in the Sohn adapter and in the fuel tank.

I don’t use the Mazda-branded version, but Idemitsu is my go-to oil in all of our Mazdas

Genuinely speaking, it's actually not bad oil at all. Apparently manufactured in Germany, meets or exceeds the OEM spec for my cars. In my 350Z which likes to drink oil, I change it using Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-40 but I keep a bottle of this (also 5W-40) in the boot for top ups.

I run Mannol 5w30 for Japanese brands on my 202k km d16

Works fine but I might change to a slightly thicker one

Idemitsu is the only premix and engine oil I’ll use ... you can order it for a good price from TREx performance out of NJ and he will ship

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.

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.

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

That's the wrong oil. You want the Idemitsu eco gold medalist advanced moly 0w-20, which is basically the same as Mazda oil(Idemitsu makes the mazda oil).

Idemitsu zepro eco medalist advanced moly 0w-20. Basically the same thing as Mazda's oil.
