I put 5/30 in my Mk2 1.8i because it was recommended to me by one of those oil book things.

Have I gone and put the wrong oil in my car?

I use 0w40w Mobil 1 or 5w40w Silkolene Pro S - all fully syntehtic.

Mazda recommend is a Semi Synth 10w40w - I think 5w30w will be adequate for your needs over winter unless you do a lot of driving.


Ahem, it's my everyday car. I'd better get some more appropriate stuff.
