"For the price of 1 I can get 2 of my Yaris!"
Or you can say the same thing to people who has bought say M5.
"For the price 1 you could've got 2 of my car!"
there is a reason something cost more than the others. and you might want to find out why.

And if you don't have a manual, you can download it for free in the owners ection of www.mazdausa.com
Yes, you'll have to sign up(free of course), but there is a lot of good info there and it will show if there are any recalls not performed yet on your car.....as just one example.

Hey, very importantly, did you read the article in which people using a combination of dino oil and/or synthetic had their engine literally blow up while cruising on the fwy? There was a double dissociation where 1:1 of two kinds of dino oil produced a significant effect whereas a 1:1 of two kinds of synthetic did not produce the effect. However, when a 1:1:1 of three kinds of oil, whether all dino or all synthetic or any 2:1 combination of 2 kinds of brands whether two parts dino and/or two parts synthetic notwithstanding led to nothing more than a misuse of your money that they will perform.
Hope this helps.

For example... Let's say you finally sue that SOB who put a ding in your door. Your lawyer needs copies of a lot of documents. Who should make the copies - a senior partner, or a paralegal? The senior partner is clearly superior (law school, various honors, member of the bar, etc.) to the paralegal (maybe a liberal arts degree). Costs more, too. So is feeding documents into the Xerox machine a place you really want to scrimp?

IMHO, it should be allowed to continue until a couple of people lose it and start hurling insults. It should then be closed, with appropriate "Behave!" advice from whichever moderator intervenes.

Alright, just did that. No recalls on mine so hopefully I'm straight.
Why would people mix it? I get that they are trying to come up with a good concoction but wouldn't some big name brand have already come up with it? I'm try RP on my next oil change. Is there anyway to tell the difference between dealer's oil and RP?

First, you are hoping that you're straight, meaning you don't know if you're straight or not?
Second, with regard to the "research," you have got to be kidding me.
Oh btw, if you use the hydraulic jack oil, you don't need to worry about mixing oils.

Yes - you need to find that out, and figure if the "why" is something that matters.
For example... Let's say you finally sue that SOB who put a ding in your door. Your lawyer needs copies of a lot of documents. Who should make the copies - a senior partner, or a paralegal? The senior partner is clearly superior (law school, various honors, member of the bar, etc.) to the paralegal (maybe a liberal arts degree). Costs more, too.

would you make your copies at a home use All in one injet printer, or a professional office laser toner printer, sure both can get ya a copy of the document, but there will be a quality differents, and obviously the document from the professional office printer will look better and wont fade as fast as the one printed on the home use all in one ink jet. Oh, did I mention the quality of the paper matters as well ?

The answer should be

Like you pointed out a couple of posts back, you've got to assess what something does and what it costs.
Funny thing about the synth vs dino issue is that regular 5w20 (which is what I use) contains synthetic stock. Another funny thing is that I recall that you recently posted that you got some full synthetic for about two and a half bucks a quart - which is what dino usually costs.
