Hello,
Quick question, just to make sure I don’t do anything stupid. I got a Mazda 2 Skyactiv G 1.5L here in europe. The ‘original 0W-20 oil’ is hard to find for me. I was wondering if I could use this
Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W-20 oil:
This product meets or exceeds the requirements of:
API SL
ACEA C5
ACEA C6
API SN Engine Test Requirements
API SN PLUS ENGINE TEST REQUIREMENTS
API SP ENGINE TEST REQUIREMENTS\
The manual of the Mazda states the following:
This should be ok, right?
API SN Plus would indicate so as that is the most recent standard.
But I would recommend Pennzoil Platinum at minimum. Mobil 1 ESP is not bad oil but the testing I’ve seen indicates Pennzoil to be better. I bought the Ultra Platinum 0W-30 (because I have the turbo) in a 3-pack of 5 Qt jugs and the per qt cost comes out to $5.40 USD. Not bad for one of the best oils out there.
Tell me why it’s better.
