Looks like 0W-16 started to be used in Japan in late 90s...or development started https://www.eneos.us/blog/the-skinny-on-0w-16-oil https://www.noln.net/home/article/11498114/the-skinny-on-ow-16-oil-2017-06-30 Some interesting info in this link too...

IMO: Fluid weights and brands will never be a settled topic... it is up there with politics and religion If I don't have oil consumption or leaks over a long period of time I'm good with it... that is just me though... and IMO

I’ve been running 0W-20 for over 10 years in my CX-5 and a little less in a 1UR-FE in my GX 460. No noticeable oil consumption. It’s not called for in the turbo Mazdas so I wouldn’t run it there.

Unfortunately, IIRC.. if there was never a reported service visit on TSB issue they won't cover it. Always a chance of dealer goodwill in the matter but they aren't obligated. If this turned into a safety recall for some reason then that would be covered.

I would have to be towing my 1-2k trailer to be getting 21MPG on the highway. I’m normally upper 20’s these days.

Anything else back there not working like the rear wiper motor?

Changed my rear diff fluid this morning. Last time was around 30k miles ago and in 2020. Fluid was about halfway between new and dark. Only a very small amount of deposits on the magnet and no signs of other visible metals. Instead of using a pump I just used some clear vinyl tubing I...

I gave my RB away to another CX-5 owner a few months back. IIRC.. they were going to put on their ‘18.

Did the buyer know cooling system was held together like that? :-)
