Engine oil OEM Mazda or Pentosin

OEM Mazda Engine oil

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.

Pros: engine runs smoothly, very quietly
Vehicle: Mazda
Mileage: 160934 km

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.

Pros: old fashioned dino juice
Cons: burns oil by design
Vehicle: Mazda
Mileage: 4828 km

Pentosin Engine oil

I bought a 5 Liter Bottle of Pentosin SAE 5W-40 Pento High Performance II Motor Oil from O’Reilly Auto Parts for $50.75. This API SN/CF and ACEA C3 Rated Oil complies with VW-Specification 502 00/505 00/505 01 and is Made in Germany.

Pros: meets VW specifications

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.

Pros: better cold start protection, better efficiency
Vehicle: Mazda 3

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.

Pros: high molybdenum
Cons: different formula
