Hello,
Quick question, just to make sure I don’t do anything stupid. I got a Mazda 2 Skyactiv G 1.5L here in europe. The ‘original 0W-20 oil’ is hard to find for me. I was wondering if I could use this
Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W-20 oil:
This product meets or exceeds the requirements of:
API SL
ACEA C5
ACEA C6
API SN Engine Test Requirements
API SN PLUS ENGINE TEST REQUIREMENTS
API SP ENGINE TEST REQUIREMENTS\
The manual of the Mazda states the following:
This should be ok, right?
Yes
You can also inquire on the price of and buy the oil from the dealership if it’s not an insane markup while still being able to change it yourself.
API SN Plus would indicate so as that is the most recent standard.
But I would recommend Pennzoil Platinum at minimum. Mobil 1 ESP is not bad oil but the testing I’ve seen indicates Pennzoil to be better. I bought the Ultra Platinum 0W-30 (because I have the turbo) in a 3-pack of 5 Qt jugs and the per qt cost comes out to $5.40 USD. Not bad for one of the best oils out there.
Tell me why it’s better.

API SL meets the specs in your manual. It’s fine.
