Hello all,
Been a long time since I last posted. I was wondering if you could make a suggestion for my folks 2013 Mazda 6 (purchased mid-summer of 2012 and has the 2.5 liter 4-cyl). It is garaged and has only has a little over 18k total miles on it, so that averages to 6k miles/year.
I know the owner's manual recommends Castrol 0w20 (which we all know the brand recommendation could be just marketing only), but after reading the recent post about how to find Kendall 0w20 and the good UOA reports to go with it, I thought this could be a better choice.
So with all that in mind, would you recommend...
1. Castrol gold bottle, 0w20
2. Castrol black bottle, 0w20
3. Kendall 0w20
4. Something else
Also, would you also be able to make an oil filter recommendation? Thanks again as always.
