Mazda Engine Oil; STAY AWAY!!!

[Shat2]

OMG i\'m so pissed about this shitty ass oil.. i went to MoT today to get a oilchange, i brought some Motul 5w40 oil there. After an hour wait they told me that, if i wanted it to go into my car. they would void my warranty, so i asked joe and after much deliberation. I decided to use the Shitty mazda oil since that service guy stanley said there wouldn\'t be much of a differnce, BOY was he wrong.. When i have it in sporttronic, i kept it in first gear and it was ok. On second gear was the problem, at 60 on 2nd gear i literally FLOORED IT, nothing happens.... 3 seconds later then it starts revving up slowly... at first i thought \"hey, maybe the oil isn\'t runned in yet.\" WRONG i ran it on the highway for awhile to see if it was just me, being an idiot. WRONG again, it could barely go up to 100, when i floored it again to try to hit 120 it WOULDN\'T GO UP!!! i hate this shitty oil they use.. If there were real horses under the hood powering the car, all of them would be high on meth and 80% of them had 3 of their legs cut off... lol the funny thing was, that service guy stanley started talking all cocky and shit to the mechanic in cantonese thinking i didnt know what he was talking about when they were chatting about the engine oil.. guessed wrong :)
apparently the guy is all nice to you when u speak with him, but when hes not talking to you hes an ass. On a side note; was nice to talk to Joe and Jeff :D

you\'re blaming this on the oil? you\'re delusional

it would have to be as thick as molasses on a cold winter\'s day to affect your engine in the manner you describe.

if you would have said that the heat and humidity of today affected your performance then that would be believeable...but to blame it on your oil? c\'mon

bwaahahahahah

oh ANOTHER warranty voiding story.. :sarc maybe b/c it was 5W40 and he didn\'t know any better? :p what was the other dealer that said warranty would be voided with an aftermarket oil??? Eric? you still around.. ah there we go.. now MoT and before that Westowne (http://torontomazda3.com/forum/read.php?TID=745&page=2#21662) :sarc

I thought this was the funniest part of the whole message.

:D

* Mental note : Don\'t substitute molasses for motor oil *

I\'m more concerned about this stanley guy. If I remember there was problems with him at another dealership.
So great sales and parts at M.o.T...but now the service is questionable???

[billyfo]

it may be the different between normal oil and synthetic (if you used it the oil change before), power may feel sluggish

He used to be at MM. While I have heard others complain about him, he has been nothing but pleasant with me the 3-4 times I\'ve dealt with him.

I only deal with Vincent.

lol i expected to be flamed :P but i guess everybody agrees :) and btw the air con was off lol..
i drove the car around more today, the car still feels very sluggish, and it still struggles to rev up :P

Maybe there is something legitimately wrong with your car, but I highly doubt it is the result of the engine oil.

+1 .... and by doing so he knows everything that is going on with my car. Plus hes a really nice guy.

[Fuman]

could possible have a bad tank of gas?
How come you haven\'t taken it back to MOT and deal with Flipspeed?

edit: grammar

[FLIPDADY]

Next time you\'re here I let you take my car for a spin. It can\'t be the oil that\'s causing you\'re car to run sluggish.

I really think it\'s the 2.0 engine. I drove an 06 2.0 from the yard the other day without the A/C on and it was a pig. I thought there was something stuck under the accelarator.

[Xerox]

I for one think it is the oil!
But then again, maybe your car needs a wash. Clean car goes faster due to reduced air resistance. I learned that from GranTurismo!
