Maybe i'm just being an over concerned new car owner but I shall ask nevertheless.
I bought a 2010 Mazda 3 2.5L in Sept of this year. Mazda requires a 5w20 spec oil. I changed the factory dino oil out at 2500KM and my mechanic put in LubroMoly 5w40 with the old adage that thicker oil was better for temperate climates here in Canada (Vancouver) and a larger Mann oil filter.
After reading a lot of the information here, i'm nearly convinced to put PP5w20 in, instead of the LM-5w40. And keeping the larger MANN oil filter, that fits perfectly and seem to have a great track record.
Am I going to cause any adverse effects on the 2.5L with this heavier oil? I've only put on 6500KM total. Or am I just wildly imagining things going wrong with what I have done? And put the PP5w20 in ASAP.
I've been reading this website for sometime now and I want to say thank you to everyone who's ever contributed, it's a vast array of great information.
