Oil Change

[GrimRaper]

First time doing an oil change on the vehicle I recently bought. Mazda 3 2008. What is a good brand of engine oil?

[Dave]

Most of the popular brands will be great to use.
The question is weight and if synthetic or not.

[CD4Accord]

Check the manual for the vehicle if you have it and stick to the recommended viscosity (weight)

I have a friend with that same vehicle and he swears that the best he used is the Shell Helix HX7 synth blend in 5w-40 or 10w-40

He used a lot of other brands and feels like the engine was quietest with this

Check out some of these oils https://homemakerguide.com/best-oils-fo ... werstroke/. Seems to be a good selection of engine oils. I mainly buy Castrol, but oils from other manufacturers are also good.
