I have about 1-2 cases in my garage with various other Motor oils for various engines.

But I use the correct formulas for viscosity choices and frequently use a wide range in my Skyactiv 2.5 engine.
Cant say as I really registered a difference in MPG but some did change my DYNO end results. As for emission I fall well withing the factory specification and if needed or ever required can pass the rigorous California emission testing.

However, so some that lift an eyebrow of doubt lets remember I have my own head upgrade, (no poorly thought out oem valve stem seals lol ) in/exh porting, valve size and choices and my own engineered set of camshafts, my own one-off CNC Titanium retainers and specialized single valve springs and my own ECU calibration(s) to tie it all together. Oh and my own modified and enlarged Throttle Body.

I'll likely never see a track or 150+ MPH again (on the ground that is).
And definitely no more 86.78mph best average GPS plotted two-wheel speeds on the Kanc anymore but I can say my CX-5 is spirited enough to give my passengers a white-knuckle ride across it
Oh yeah, I always use full synthetic oil in the manufacturers recommended viscosity.
Best rated or best you can afford.
You could get a 3 wheeler and then no excuse not to cruse to 150MPH or close to it. But I would want to on a 3 wheeler. They turn funny! lol

ouch!...i have been down once and it wasn't fun...but never rode track only street...i have downgraded to a scooter now due to time to ride plus having a kid...priorities...i just still needed to have a 2 wheel toy so i picked up a pretty reliable 125cc 4 stroke to rip around on...it lets me have some fun around town while not taking up too much space and being pretty economical...i will get another motorcycle when my kid is older i imagine but there are too many distracted drivers and my daily commute to work is not a fun or safe route (95% highway cutting through providence) so it's not exactly enjoyable

And when he cant make a strong point or proper on topic response he goes off topic as usual!
Well now we know you are a "sensitive guy" , me IDGAF!
As for the rest of your male response. That my friend is your opinion and only yours. You cant state the mental thinkings of what other members think and how the view and respond to my response to them considering this is a vehcle forum and most threads are in the HELP ME contents with hope that they do get a experienced individual on the topic or someone like me actually in the auto service industry or automotive industry as a whole and the fact this is on a car forum and how many car forums member talk just like in real life vs Sunday school and table manners restricted? I don't actually call many with derogatory names like I have been called many times and laugh it off, but I do call a lemon a lemon and if some post BS I will call them on it .BTW the attack you state I do is in itself calling attacking me and makes you the same as what you are calling me! But like I said I just LMAO.
I always thought you were smarter than that, but I do understand the response like this to gain support from a few that have not liked what I said regarding their responses. LOL

I don't know the answer to your question. The other guy pretends to be an expert and won't say "I don't know" but will faff about for paragraphs of key stick punctuation and colored fonts that answers nothing. Pretty normal around here.

if you don’t know the answer then seriously why post? ROLMAO

Dude it’s simple a dealership can not definitively answer the question. If you think other wise go read what suggest and when Mazda sends you the answer post it up. Other wise please stop distracting from factual information. It serves only to self serve you because I have had to correct your blundered responses many times on this forum . Lol

If you don’t like my response it’s simple don’t respond , don’t read them and update your ignore feature on your profile . Oh wait I forgot you like when I respond like this

Btw when I end a response ASE it means without any doubt what I posted is faceted based that is to say factual, can be varied that it is factual and empirical in nature . It also represents what I am as far as experience goes.
Now let’s remember what you said on a past thread regarding your worth in the auto industry lol



Point37 I told you my posting style is like a laxative , it brings out sheet or a few sheet head members ? I did not say any specific member by name lol

But you will know how they are as they continue this type of off topic banter about my postings.

I most certainly can read (it doesn't take a mind reader as your rude posts are legendary on this forum- how many folks have you on their ignore list- I would suspect you are the most ignored on the forum...) and you actually think I am the only one who says you belittle folks on the forum? Wow....

welp a day later and a few responses down OFF topic continued....
Well first of all your assumption about who has me on ignore is wrong. There is about 2 members that actually do constant but then they stopped posting here about 3 years ago. I can see who does and does not have me personally on the ignore list. If you look there is an option to actually see that if you know this forums format. I use this exact one for one of my personally owned forums. So you can't rally the troops on that one and if you doubt contact the Admid and maybe he will tell you? As for the their personal discretions and once again even you are intelligent to know that not everybody defines what rude is? So again, trying to point a negative at me about my posting really may show your shorting comings understanding the dynamics of forums and how some conversations go especially on a vehcle forum. ROLMAO. I suggest NEVER go to a bike (motorcycle forum) of any kind they will LTAO of your sensitive thinned skinned nature.
Last the word belittle, well again that is subject only to those that feel that way and again if you don't talk to those you think it happens to that NO YOU don't know what they think or feel. I do call bullsheet when I am trying to help and some member post such bad information at times you and I call them on it. Then I am sure they were not expecting a response from a members like myself that is direct! If you are going to post with information on this forum I suggest that you get your information and facts along with some credible information that demonstrates some training and education and experience in automotive industry and not what you can simply find and think is fact on the internet.
As I have stated and you can research this, our forum gets copied for its best information and often used on other Mazda forums by those members that not only belong to our forum but those as well. A few of us see this and we exchange the comic posting comparing how they changed the words just enough to make it their own. I wish I could tell you which forum but then you would also know who I am there. Don't bother trying to find out you wont. But let me give you a hint you post on it regularly? LOL

Honestly you are a PIA and if you look I only actually respond on a very few number of threads and thread topics . But it is funny some members like a dog will butt sniff where I do and post on it? I wonder why?

​​​​​​​OK now we ahve both said our off topic responses wanna try to get back on this threads topic???
