Hy drew i was looking forward to change the engine oil on my mazda 3 2013 MZR (not skyactive) i’m really confused with the oil type !! Can you please kindly recommend the best option for my car is at 108000km atm

Hi Mate, the manufacturer recommended is normally written on the cap of Mazdas. As per my video because I live in Australia I’ve gone with a slightly higher viscosity due to our climate. Where do you live? Cheers Drew

[@Dgamer510]

Well I’m from Australia too, kinda confused !! 😢

@@Dgamer510 Refer to the Mazda Owners Manual from page 8-20 www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/pdf/owners-optimized/2013/mazda3-4door/2013-mazda3-owners-manual.pdf As per my vehicle and video Mazda recommend fully synthetic 0W-20, however in Australia as I explained in this video I have chosen to use Castrol Edge A3/B4 5W-30 due to our typically warmer climate and wanting that extra lubrication capability. I would do the same if I owned your vehicle! Cheers Drew
