dcb Turbocharged April 16, 2016 Share April 16, 2016 It was reported before in the Mz3 thread that some car owners actually sees Shell EO being used for their servicing. If special receive then no Skyactiv cars can service their cars outside TEK. We are bonded to them till the ride is sold or scrapped. Pretty good income for TEK then. The number before W doesn't matter to us in tropical countries where we do not have winter. The EO will not be frozen in our climate. I don't know if they use shell EO. Have not seen it. But the customer told me fit skyactiv, Mazda uses their own recipe of 0W-20 oil.The w stands for the oil rating at winter temp. The smallest the number it means that the oil will be thinner and it will flow faster to the engine parts at say 0 degree Celsius winter temp. This is my understanding. But for people that are always using the car is the early morning where the engine is pretty cold, I believe it will make a difference for the w rating.For hot country like s' pore, we are more concern abt the number at the last 2 digit of the oil rating. The represent the viscosity of the oil at abt 100 degrees Celsius.That's my understanding, I may be wrong. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That why some see them using she'll EOAm at LK service center now. Spoke to the SA on servicing outside and he told me use 5W-20. That's the 'special' oil they use due to low viscosity so can achieve better FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
