True but that's not cooling the turbo down. The intercooler (air to air) lowers air temp exiting the turbo, before it goes into the intake valves. It's the oil that keeps the turbo's moving parts from overheating.

Good reminder @HyFlyer.

Skyactiv Oil Analysis is the thread title and topic. It's for posting Used Oil Analysis reports and discussing the results of those reports. Discussing OCI is relevant to a degree, as some people will change their OCIs according to their UOAs. However, debating the manufacturer's recommended OCI, discussing oil coking, etc. is unrelated.
Keep it on topic please.
First UOA on a new to us 2019 CX-5 purchased from a Mazda dealer. Sticker indicated it used Qualker State 0w-20. The aluminum was a bit higher than anverages. What say you all about this? Is this normal for a CX-5, especially one with cylinder deactivation?

Our 2.2 diesel UOA's average 8ppm aluminum and 51ppm on the iron for all the reports from 0 to 75k miles.
As a comparison point. I think your 5ppm aluminum is fine. No worries.
2019 CX-5 Touring. 2.5 NA. The first oil analysis was from the oil that was in it when we bought it used from a Mazda dealer, Quaker State 0w-20 synthetic. This UOA is for STP/Amalie 5W-40, SN rated HDEO. I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN USING PROPERLY RATED HDEOS. I'm very pleased with this result. The iron is up but the aluminum is down. I used a Champ XL filter. I guess my fear over fuel dilution issues with direct injection engines is apparently not valid with the Mazda Skyactiv.

I'm getting ready to change the factory oil change to LiquiMoly on our 2024 that now has about 9k on it...everything I've used LiquiMoly in has run quieter and seen a mileage boost of a couple of MPG. The old oil looks pretty good for a bit short of 5k miles....it was changed at 4k when we got it as a CEO demo.Thank you so much for creating this thread. Is this using OEM filter? I hope we can get others to participate as well so we can gather more data and geek out a bit. I am almost at 4K mi and will change my oil at 5K. Will be replacing with mobil 1 and MoS2 additive from Liqui Moly as stated in another thread. Kedis, I hope you will be sticking with the Mazda Moly for awhile!

It's definitely not the factory oil, but let us know how the LiquiMoly goes. Haven't seen that talked about much with Japanese cars.

just sent a sample in 39000 miles with 4800 miles on the oil PUP 5W30. I won't be surprised if I have some fuel in the oil....I swear my car makes oil....I put in 5.1 quarts with a factory filter and after 4000-5000 miles I get out 5.1 quarts which does not account for the little bit of oil that gets left behind in the filter....this last oil change I ran it hard as was on a 3000 mile trip and only averaged about 22-23mpg. too much sport mode in the mountains......i guess...smiles per gallon

I first noticed that about Blackstone in 2020. Sent two separate samples in and heard nothing for weeks. Got the results after I emailed to inquire. After that, I take a picture of the USPS tracking label and email them as soon as the sample is shown as having been delivered. Didn't know about Polaris but will try next time.
