i have a Mazda 3 3rd gen sedan 1.5 automatic skyactive and wanted to know what is the best engine oil? also, does engine oil makes any difference?
dont have the manual. its a recond car from japan and same was not found in the carYour owner's manual will tell you what engine oil your car needs.
For NA, Mazda and Castrol are two of the recommended ones.
google saying the below:The cap should list a weight for the oil, or look up a manual, I’m sure you can source a digital one. As for brands, mobil 1, royal purple synth, castrol, and Mazda/idemitsu. In my ranger I used castrol. In the Volvo I had, used royal purple. Important thing is to get the weight/visc right, and whether it needs full synth
