What kinda valve cleaner?5w30.. less blow means less consumption and less valve buildup (even though valve cleaner should be part of every oil change)

Well, After a few days of driving and listening, I can honestly say my car is running quieter and with less clatter with the 0W30 oil in it than it did before with the old 0W20 oil.Running 0W-30 or 5W-30 actually is also recommended for SkyActiv-G 2.5L by Mazda worldwide other than North America.
Yes, I did agree with GJ-Molester’s point at the time that by using the 5W-30 our SkyActiv-G 2.5L will be quieter (and may be even better off with 5W-30).
How does one use that? Didn't see instructions.

With many people’s experience now including your report, I’ll seriously consider to use 5W-30 oil after my currently stock of Mazda moly 0W-20 oil depleted, specifically the newer Idemitsu 5W-30 SP / GF-6 oil with many other advantages such as timing chain wear protection.Well, After a few days of driving and listening, I can honestly say my car is running quieter and with less clatter with the 0W30 oil in it than it did before with the old 0W20 oil.
I'm already thinking of going 5W30 on my next one. I'm happy so far.
Are you going to try that new GF-6 oil which is supposed to have many great benefits? And are you going to stick with 5W-30 oil?I will be doing another oil level check before I do my oil change this upcoming weekend, but after I got the pan resealed, seems to have solved a lot of my oil going away problems.
Well I have a jug left of the 5w30 Pennzoil Platinum in the garage that I plan to use, but after that I will definitely be checking out this Idemitsu GF-6 oil in 5w30.Are you going to try that new GF-6 oil which is supposed to have many great benefits? And are you going to stick with 5W-30 oil?
I don't really track my MPG, sorry.I like the idea of using 5w-30 in the summer. To the guys who switched, how much lower is your MPG using the heavier oil?
Why would switching to 5w-30 make a difference re: MPG's?I like the idea of using 5w-30 in the summer. To the guys who switched, how much lower is your MPG using the heavier oil?

Thanks for posting this. It's time for an oil change, searched heavier oils and CX-5 in Google, and this thread came up. I'm going to switch to 5W-30. I'm in a year round hot climate so there's no need for 0W oil.
Ordered this Mobil1 synthetic 5W-30 ($26.47) and a Purolator filter ($11.50).
