Fellow mu-X owner here! If you're thinking about upgrading from the standard Isuzu Genuine Motor Oil 10W-30, check out the ZIC X7 Diesel 10W-30 Fully synthetic. I used Amsoil Turbo Truck 5w40 too (10k km interval) but it's expensive for my Garage queen mux haha. Mobil Delvac1 5W-40 is good as well.
I have Signature in my 25. Smoothed out the engine noises quite a bit.
Engine noise is a little, well noisy, mine is less rumbly/vibrationy after I changed my oil and used Amsoil Hybrid oil. I can’t generally feel anything when the engine kicks on now, before I could definitely feel it every time it kicked on.
I switched oil to AMSOIL signature series synthetic, from everything I read, it out performs other oils, used to use Mobil 1
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
My 2016 GT350R has almost 25K miles and has never needed oil between changes. I use Amsoil every 5000 miles, sooner depending on track abuse.
I prefer synthetic myself in my CX50 Turbo, but Mazda engines aren't very picky overall.
Amsoil 100%, I tested it quite a few, and I’m noticed the least amount of decoration and power loss with it
zu viel Kurzstrecke. mach mal nen Ölwechsel und lass den wagen dann mal richtig auf Temperatur kommen.
Get a catch can but that mobile 1 oil you are using is for shit . Amsoil is best for mustangs and the best for that matter period it\u2019s cost but you can run it 25k
