Not specifically BD related, but this forum is a good source of info.
My Mazda6 specifies a 5W-30 ACEA C1 rated oil. The viscosity doesn't overly worry, but trying to find a C1 oil is like hens teeth. Mazda of course sells a Genuine C1 oil (it would seem to be a Fuchs oil, but of a type not avail in Aust), but at $75 /5lts, I need to find something else. I thought Penrite HPR semi-synthetic (available in 5W and 15W) would be a good start, but it is only A3/B3 rated, meaning it has enough Sulphur and Phosphorus in the oil to kill a DPF.
Any VW, Peugeot or other Euro-4 engined car owners have any choices for particular engine oils?
