Engine oil OEM Mazda or RED LINE
It's recommended by Nissan to use ester based oil. I use redline 5w-30. Pricey but I feel the difference and motor runs flawless imo
Using Redline 5w-50 on my E90 M3. it's supposed to have a similar viscosity at high temps as most 60wt oils. Comes up to operating temp faster and doesn't overheat.
After reading several posts I got the Mazda Molly and Personally really like it! With the Molly it seems to run much quieter not such a heavy tick and just overall feels better’
I also switched to a 50 weight, Redline.
I was seeing moderate oil consumption and the heavier viscosity seems to have fixed that issue
I run 5w-40 in everything. Mazda Skyactiv, Toyota 3UR, Honda J35. They all like it and run quiet.
The best oil to use is the RedLine full synthetic two-stroke Racing oil. Modern full synthetic two stroke oils are way better than older oils and work great.
I bought a Mazda CX-5 dealer test car with 300 Km's on it back in 2015 when I moved up to Osaka. I drive a LOT and was getting the oil changed roughly every 5000 km's per Mazda's recommendation.
I use Mazda's weight recommendation for my environment, as illustrated in your owners manual. I use 10W-30 and 15W-40 Full-Synthetic oils with zinc additives to stave off carbon deposits.
Red Line products go in all my cars. AMSoil and Motul also quite good.
I use redline hp 5w30 for my n54. 7500 mi intervals. I’m at 113k miles currently. At about 90k I send my oil off to blackstone for an oil analysis. Came back in very good shape and they indicated I could easily go to a 10k mi interval.
