According to mazda recommendations, I should change it at 7,500...but I am used to 3,000 miles (or 5,000 with mobil 1 synthetic).
Any thoughts on using a synthetic motor oil (Mobil 1, AMS Oil, Roayl Purple)? How about the interval?
I am debating whether or not to let the dealer do the oil change. On the one side the dealer will do oil changes for free. On the other, they wont be using a better-than-standard oil and they will only do it every 7500 miles.
what do u think?
side note: funny how the owners manual says "To get the best service from a battery...Keep terminals and connections clean, tight, and coated with petroleum jelly or terminal grease." ...wonder why Mazda doesn't put jelly or grease on the terminals from the factory!
