I just started using rotella 5w30 full synthetic for gas trucks. Ita new and I saw some results on bobistheoilguy and it indeed does beat it competition in many oil atttribute tests.
Second oil change.
The similarity between these two UOA's of factory oil and Mazda moly oil makes me believe Mazda uses Mazda moly oil as the factory fill. We should keep the factory oil with high molybdenum in more miles for break-in purpose like Honda does, unless we use Mazda moly oil again for oil change.Second oil change.
It's a 2018 CX-5, so it has to be a 2.5L NA.Trending well. Is this the 2.5 or 2.5T? Assuming dealer oil based on their mention of Moly and Moly content.
Even if the Mazda dealer has run out of the stock on moly oil, the parts department still can order it, and get it in within a day depending on your location.sorry forgot to mention. It is 2.5 non-turbo. I change the oil on my own with Mazda Moly 0w20.
Yes, nothing new. So far so good.
I am interested in trying Idemitsu and Eneos Sustina but it would probably be after 20k.
For now I plan to stick with Mazda Moly but last time local dealers did not have it on stock and I had to order online.
They mentioned it may be going out of stock but that is still a rumor.
Yes, that would be the one I consider if Mazda moly is no longer available.Btw. idemitsu zepro 0w20 is supposedely very similar to the Mazda moly 0w20. And the Mazda Moly is made by idemitsu.
No particular reason. Old school people like old school stuff may be? But these oils are not pricy to me. I can get a quart for about $7+. $2+ more than those found in the WalMart. But $10 can't even be enough for the lunch money nowadays.Is there a reason why you guys feel old school moly is better than the newer moly in oil now? Mazda Moly 0w20 and the high moly Idemitsu 0w20 are both rather pricy.

Yeah but you went 3,000 miles in 5 months, or maybe 8,000 miles annually. You could easily go a year between oil changes. I had 6,000 miles on my last oil analysis and they suggested I go 8,000 miles next time, also with Mazda OEM Moly 0w-20 and OEM filter.
