Best Oil For 2014 2.0L Sky?

[Stringer]

After some reading, it looks like alot of people are saying the mazda moly oil is good? What would you recommend? I haven't done my first oil change yet. I wanted to make the right oil decision now and stick with the same products throughout the life of the vehicle. Right now I'm thinking possibly mazda moly (anyone have a part number?), OEM mazda filter, OEM crush washer. Is there something else I should use instead? Also, I plan on changing oil/filter/washer every 5k. Any benefit to getting my first oil change done early ... say at 1500 miles, then 5k, 10k, 15k, etc? Thanks! (popcorn)

ANY API-SN oil in the proper grade at 5k intervals is fine.

Get a synthetic media filter, they flow and filter better (amsoil, mobil1, K&N).

I believe that there is no advantage to changing oil extra early and may be even detrimental. . Manufactures use assembly lubes and possibly even oil additives to assure a proper break-in and burnishing of new parts. I also believe that the Mazda moly oil is an excellent and would be very difficult to match for the price. I'm also a believer in using the Company oil filters, at least for the first 10-15,000 miles in case of engine issues that might be oil related. Just my thoughts. Ed

see my post on this forum: I just did a UOA on my CX5 with about 6,500 miles on the oil and the results are fantastic. Could have kept the oil in there for almost 8500 miles

Cost no object - Mazda Moly

Better buy (and highly regarded) with many of same additives - Toyota 0W20 SN Synthetic Oil

Possible Over the counter alternative - Mobil 1 with 1/2 bottle Liqui Moly Mos2 available at Napa and online.

I am going to wait 3K for first oil change and then go +7K (10K), then every 10K between changes with Mazda Moly or Toyota

I bought some moly from that website posed under the picture today. My stealership only uses Castrol oil I want to try the oem oil. I am debating if I want to change the oil myself or not. edit I ordered an drain valve from fumoto too http://www.qwikvalve.com/fumoto-f106s-valve.html
