| Not Ranked : 0 score Re: switching to sythetic oil Id swap it out like a regular oil change, cruise around for a couple hundred miles or so then do one more change (including filter) and it should be more or less full synthetic by then... A little expensive but its easier then droppin the pan, which still would leave oil in the block anyways

| Not Ranked : 0 score No worries, just change it out. That's what I've done in the past with previous cars. After a few oil changes (assuming you continue to use synthetic) the old oil will flush out. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score phil..belated welcome back btw.. I bought my MS6 with 120 on the odo. Changed oil at 1200 with dino 5/30 and filter. Changed oil and filter again @ 3.5k with M1 5/30 and oem filter. I've been changing at 3-5k with OEM filter and M1 5/30. I'm just around 50k on the clock. Time for tranny fluids for me though. I don't lose a drop during changes, and car runs like a top.

how many miles do you have and you're just shifting to synthetic? that has to be some kind of record. it's like buying the hooker breakfast at this point.

| Not Ranked : 0 score philly, switch it to synth oil like a normal oil change and get an oil wrench tool from mazda to get the cartridge off properly every time. I think I paid like 25 bucks for the tool. torque it correctly next time fool! id also recommend you get a fresh oil drain plug washer if you dont change it out each time, synthetic oil is more "slippery" for lack of a better term, and can cause oil leaks to start appearing if you have always ran regular oil and are just switching. |

all modern cars use it, why would we be any different? and...do this, look at your oil at 3k and see how nasty and black it is with no viscosity left. then look at it at 5k when you change it yourself and see how it feels like chalk. I try and change my oil at 2500 miles if I can but i'll go 4k if i'm broke.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Have any of you tried the new Pennzoil Ultra? I saw this new oil right next to the Platinum that i usually buy at Walmart. I said WTH and bought it, even though it came to about $36, compared to the $28 for the Platinum, 6qts. After using this oil for about 150 miles, it seems my PT KR have gone down a lot, getting mostly 0.4 or 0.7. It's supposed to clean a lot of the gunk in there and anything to keep KR at bay is welcomed. Not calling any miracle here but it's strange not seeing the KR warning on my DH coming up every so often. Might be worth a try for some of you. |
