So mazda is now reccomending 5w40 for rotaries?

11-04-2008, 06:22 PM

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

Rally cars:

F1 cars:

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

we also sel Castrol but I wont use that in a 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
