Engine oil OEM Mazda or OEM Audi

5-6k. It depends on how much you push the car. Hard acceleration and high revs will require more frequent oil changes.

From my personal experience, I used to use Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum oils, which are really high-quality oils. However, I did notice a big difference when I began using the OEM Mazda oil. I don't know what is so different about it, but my engine runs much more smoothly and very quietly. When I am at a stop light, I don't even feel the engine running, it's gotten that quiet, and I just hit over 100k miles.

I use Mazda Moly 0w-20 in our 2014 Skyactiv CX-5.

I run the 5w-40 in my 2004 Audi A8 and both of my power strokes just because it's handy and the diesel grade oil is overall better than the other synthetic I was running in a 0w-40 weight.

Remember that the rotary engine burns oil by design and does not particularly like eating synthetics. Expect to use old fashioned dino juice and change your oil every 3000 miles.

Although this is exact replacent, mazda OE still uses Mazda branded GF-5 which is exactly the same oil but branded Mazda....

Love these high molly low viscosity oils. Absolutely the best out there

They should be using 0W20 full synthetic oil (not synblend crap). Its not going to hurt running the 5W20 in it instead but next time mention it at write up. Mazda claims benefits such as better cold start protection and better efficiency among other things.

For the record, this is NOT the exact replacement to Mazda 0W-20 GF-5 with Moly - Synthetic Engine Oil.

While this has high molybdenum, it's still a different formula from Mazda's own proprietary blend.
