What kind of engine oil is best for the Axela?
3 Answers
The recommended engine oil for the Axela is fully synthetic oil with a viscosity grade of 0W-20. Here are some additional details: 1. The Axela comes factory-filled with fully synthetic 0W-20 oil, but when changing the oil, it's recommended to switch to semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil with a viscosity grade of 5W-30. 2. In terms of powertrain, the Axela is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine, which can use either semi-synthetic or mineral oil. 3. There are three types of engine oil: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil, each with different effects and service intervals.
I've been driving my Mazda3 for almost four years, mostly for daily commutes. Choosing the right engine oil is crucial. I usually use 0W-20 synthetic oil, and both Mobil 1 and Shell are good options. The manual recommends 0W-20 for quick cold starts, better fuel efficiency, and suitability for both summer and winter. If unavailable, 5W-20 is acceptable, but avoid mineral oil as it can cause engine wear. Synthetic oil can last up to 8,000 km between changes, saving time and money compared to 5,000 km intervals. Make sure to calculate the maintenance cycle accurately to avoid affecting the car's lifespan. A friend of mine used the wrong oil, leading to engine noise and costly repairs. Driving habits matter too—frequent highway driving requires earlier oil changes. Check online reviews when choosing brands. Always get the viscosity right to ensure smooth and durable performance.
I drive a Mazda3 and want to save money, so controlling engine oil costs is important. 0W-20 synthetic oil is good but more expensive. You can use synthetic blend oil instead. Domestic brands like Great Wall or Kunlun offer good value at about one-third lower price. Skip dealership maintenance and go to reliable small shops to save half the cost. Extend oil change intervals to 7,500 km - with good quality oil, you'll need fewer changes. Never buy fake oil to save money, as engine damage would cost much more. I always check online reviews and choose high-sales brands. After years of this approach, my car runs well with lower maintenance costs. Also, drive smoothly with fewer sudden accelerations to reduce oil consumption, making extended change intervals more economical.
