Ill send u out some oil net week.

So mazda is now reccomending 5w40 for rotaries?

no 5w30 if using the ELF/Total engine oil.

remember different oils meet different standards, the ELF/Total engine oil 5w30 is made SPECIFICALLY with the rotary engine in mind when using the OMP

Mazda recommends 5w40 in the piston cars when using the ELF/Total oil


Remember ELF/Total was born in F1 and is used in Rally cars and F1 cars still to this ay..


Here is some proof

thanks for the info. as long as the manufacturer can approve it, it is good enough for me. but i constantly battle all the misinformation out there that goes directly in the face of manufacturers claims.

But ya enough to change my mind thanks

And thats the thing.. I have done alot fo research and reading to guarentee this is the oil for me and my customers..

we also sel Castrol but I wont use that in a rotary..

from here on out I will be using ELF/Total in ALL my cars/trucks (piston or rotary)

Here is an old bulletin from Mazda Australia.
I think if you use Viton o-rings you would be OK.

Remember that is over 2 years old.. and the ELF/Total oil has only been availible for the US market for 1 year

that is also using the Mazda Dexelia oil, which is known to be a Basestock 3-4 and tested to leave a high ash/deposit content.

More great info though. THX
