I'm not reading yet another "which engine oil should I use" thread, so the above sums it all up.Quote:

PENRITE PENRITE PENRITE My 2016 Mazda bt 50 engine failed at 55000 ks after being serviced by Goldfields Off Road (a Repco dealer in WA). Without going into the whole story,they stuffed up the service big time including putting the wrong penrite oil in. Mazda Australia, Goldfields, Allianz(Goldfields Insurance Coy) all denied warranty with lies, double talk, etc being their way out. After about 9 months of Fighting all of them I found out about the wrong oil. An online discussion with Penrite solved the problem and I was paid out by Allianz- .Penrite told it as it was-- The use off this oil in your vehicle would most likely cause the damage as described.I owe them for being both frank and honest and will always use their products where possible. Also, to get anywhere, I had to go to Allianz direct (as a third party in a claim ) as Goldfields just lied. A call to Repco Australia about their Australia wide warranty was a waste of time as I was told their dealers only pay to use the name and all warranty is carried by the servicing dealer.

The big thing to look out for on the 3.2 is a minimal drain/refill time otherwise the oil pump loses its prime.Quote:
