Just bought Mazda 0W-20 GF-5 w/ Moly online

How much moly do tears of virgin unicorns contain?! [/QUOTE]

Just the right amount.

Wow, thank you for the link and the heads up! I'd like to try and use this Mazda oil as much as I can, and try to keep and maintain my CX-5 with parts I can trust. I thought it strange that they would push Castrol so much in the documentation when they have their own oil, though I suppose it must be some sort of deal/partnership they have. Do they use Castrol at the Mazda dealers or do they use this Mazda oil?

Cheers!

My dealer uses the Castrol BLEND GTX.

You generally have to ask for the good stuff!

I'll pass on the overpriced dealer stuff and get some Redline 0-20. If you like moly, the redline stuff has about 180pp more moly than Mazda. It also is a real synthetic oil (ester based) unlike the Mazda stuff which is groupIII.
Plus, I can get it for less than $9 a qt from a local oil dealer.

Similar cost for Mazda moly (never pay retail!)

Alas, this moly stuff is still not available in Canada. The parts guys say it does not exist. Even wit a product # the first few oil changes I did, I had to import from Arlington Mazda. Duties and shipping was expensive. My last oil change involved mobile 1. Of course I noticed no change. Lol. However, I would still prefer the moly.

Have you tried another dealer, like maybe one that knows what they're talking about?

The redline oil was exactly $8.50 a qt. And, unlike Mazda oil, it is synthetic. I'll post a blackstone report when I change it.

Just dropped by my dealership's service dept. to introduce myself, and asked after the oil they're speccing for the CX-5. Service guy says they still use the Mazda GF-5 (there was a case on the parts dept. counter), even though there had been some "pressure" to switch to Castrol. $7.50/qt for an oil change, $9/qt to buy it outright. From everything I'm reading here it sounds like I might have lucked into a pretty good dealer service dept.

yea, I just changed my foil today, I paid less than $9 for the moly oil

Sure I could get it for less if I wanted to do my own, but since i don't have a good place for that letting the dealer change it for $7.50/qt seems OK to me.
