The Mazda OEM head gasket is strong enough to reliably handle boost. Unless you're making crazy high power, you don't need the upgrade.
Pros: strong enough for boost

I run 5w-40 in everything. Mazda Skyactiv, Toyota 3UR, Honda J35. They all like it and run quiet.
Pros: run quiet

I was quoted 1200 to change my brake pads on my ND. Did it myself of course but it was funny to find out what the dealership wanted.
Pros: did it myself
Cons: expensive dealership quote

That’s Switzerland right? Because I was quoted 1600€ when my fuel pump broke in Switzerland. We let the car out of the Mazda dealership and got back with a friend a couple of days after. 15’ minutes of work to change it with a high flow one and lots of laughs while the dealership mechanics where looking at us. 200€ brand new…
Pros: easy to change, brand new
Cons: expensive dealership quote

I bought a Mazda CX-5 dealer test car with 300 Km's on it back in 2015 when I moved up to Osaka. I drive a LOT and was getting the oil changed roughly every 5000 km's per Mazda's recommendation.

For the record, this is NOT the exact replacement to Mazda 0W-20 GF-5 with Moly - Synthetic Engine Oil.
While this has high molybdenum, it's still a different formula from Mazda's own proprietary blend.
Pros: high molybdenum
Cons: different formula
I drive a Mazda2. The sheer joy of having those big "trucks" behind me at night is amazing. I need sunglasses at 8pm because those fuckers are brighter than the sun. Cop it in the side mirrors and the rear view mirror.
Cons: brighter than the sun

OCV gasket oil leaks on my 2014 Mazda6 SkyActiv valve cover.
Cons: oil leaks

I put OEM Brakes on my ‘19 3 GT AWD. I’m 20K KM into them, and they pulse like mad when I brake above 90KM/h. Absolute fucking trash. The factory brakes also did this, above 90KM, but started around 50K into their life.
Cons: pulsating brakes, poor quality
