ive just toped up with 10w40 castrol mineral ! but looking to change the oil next week and was wondering what you use :)
i always get mine from opieoils, i get the fuchs silkolene 10w40 has worked well for the 5 years ive had the car, im now running on a single tubby but i dont think there is a reason for different oil because of the single tubby
I use Castrol 20W-50, anything thiner seems to get chewed up pretty quickly.
Castrol GTX mineral 10W40 - seems to do the trick
thanks guys ! would you say theres any diffrence in a aftermarket oil filter compared to a mazda part i got offered 4 aftermarket ones for 10 rupes ?
Unsure on that one buddy. I use just normal filters. I have 2 due to the oil cooler kit that I use.
I have it on good authority that most oil filters actually come off the same assembly line - only difference is the stamp and box that they get.
Make of that what you will!!
I just use the halfords one (HOF257 is the code) and never had any problems (well apart from the bloody thing being attached upside down!!)
Take a read of the attached and make your own mind up
