after replacing semi-syn oil with mineral, FD runs noticably smoother and eager to rev? Anyone had any similar things happen?
I run mineral & it always revs well ;)
The Mazda workshop manual recommends mineral oil and they should know?
Ahhhh, the placebo effect... ;) :D
its not that it used to run poorly, its just that it seems a lot smoother now.
- SiH, that s what i\'m thinking!!
i thought exactly the same thing after replacing mineral with semi-synth!
i\'d imagine any type of fresh oil allows the engine to run a bit smoother, repeated heating and cooling killing off oil\'s lubing ability and all that.
I thought you were supposed to run mineral oil in these cars? I always have anyways....
that\'s what they recomend for the cars in the manual, but technology moves along way in 17 years!! Crap, My FD is 17 year old :2eek :wiggle
