05 2.0 Dexelia oil - Robin the Technician
I see the recommended oil for my son's Mazda 6 diesel is Dexelia - but is there an equivalent? I dare say it costs one arm and one leg from a main dealer so I'm looking for a better priced equivalent. Any ideas?

Thanks

Problem solved!! As the car is pre DPF it does not need any specialist oil - just 5w 30 fully synth which has now been done.

If it had the DPF then I think it is Dexelia only. And Mazda apparently are the only (expensive) source. And with all the problems with DPF equipped Mazda's, using anything else could be false economy! They'd get out of any warranty claim in an instant.
