What I only heard about KIA recommendation is Lotos Quazar K/FE 5w30 made by Lotos Oil for KIA http://lotosoil.pl/pl/home/produkty/samochody-osobowe,2,412,show,11969 Lotos Oil is the main partner of polish motor race KIA LOTOS CUP http://www.kia-lotos-cup.pl/

To my view Mobil 1 EP 5w20 should be fine here.

Why do for example Mazda recommend different OCI in USA, Europe and Japan for the same MZR 2.5 engine? Europe 20k km / 1 year Japan 15k km / 1 year, serve 7,5k km / 6 months USA 12k km / 6 months, serve 8k km / 4 months When I compare recommendations for USA and Japan I just think that Europe...

To be honest I do not believe in European loooong intervals. To me it is latex marketing which tries to show "look, you don't even need to change the oil, you'll save the money and the enviroment, birds are proud of you".

I don't trust anybody. My girlfriend's dad bought Mazda 3. The previous owner said that everything was changed few months ago and he don't need to replace any parts that time. I was suspicious and advised him to check it out. When I opened the air condition filter box the only thing I didn't...

Maybe adding an engine flush before the next oil change would be beneficial here? Think about it.

Ok, maybe I said to much using "the most", you're right weasley But still it is quite popular and let's say price beneficial alternative which sticks to this service note above.

In Europe the most popular oil for RX-8 rotary engine is Elf Evolution SXR 5w30 (A5/B5, SL/CF, GM-LL-A025). It is a hydrocracked oil made by Total which also makes recommended in the service information above Mazda Dexelia Ultra 5w30. It is said that SXR 5w30 and Dexelia Ultra 5w30 are similar...

Here you can also see a service information for rx-8 and rx-7 rotary engines which talks about the oil.

Mazda has it's own line of oils called Mazda Original Oil. In Europe they are made by Total. I don't know who does it in the USA, but you can look at the site of Total where you can see Mazda Supra 0w20 http://www.lubricants.total.com/pro/partnerships/automotive-partnerships/mazda.html It is SN...

I found document from Mazda UK where they reccomend also 0w30 http://mazda-mpower.co.uk/reference/aftersales/application_charts/Engine_Oil_PREFINAL.pdf

Here you have Mazda's recommendation from japanese manual for SkyActive engines.

il_signore97, thank you very much for the answer. Now everything is clear to me

Brons2, in Poland there is no problem to get all the Amsoil stuff, so you can easily get both 0w20 and 5w20 in XL or SS series. There are also Petro Canada, Quaker State and some Castrol Magnatec 5w20. If somebody wants to buy this weight, he will get it. Originally Posted By: Brons2 Amsoil SS...

Ok I understand I ask also because in Poland Amsoil 0w30 cost abou $15.30 One more question: can I expect more fuel efficiency on 0w30 comparing to 5w30?

Thanks As I said I decided and I will buy SSO 0w30. I have only two questions just because I'm curious: Originally Posted By: Tomek 1) can I expect more fuel economy on this 0w30 comparing to 5w30 whcich I use at the moment? 2) my lube capacity is 4,3L. Can I buy 4 quarts (about 3,8L) Amsoil...

Ok guys, you convinced me. I will buy Amsoil SS 0w30 I have only two more questions because I'm curious: 1) can I expect more fuel economy on this 0w30 comparing to 5w30 whcich I use at the moment? 2) my lube capacity is 4,3L. Can I buy 4 quarts (about 3,8L) Amsoil and fill the rest 0,5L with...
