Engine oil OEM Mazda or Mannol
I run Mannol 5w30 for Japanese brands on my 202k km d16
Works fine but I might change to a slightly thicker one
Remember that the rotary engine burns oil by design and does not particularly like eating synthetics. Expect to use old fashioned dino juice and change your oil every 3000 miles.
Although this is exact replacent, mazda OE still uses Mazda branded GF-5 which is exactly the same oil but branded Mazda....
Love these high molly low viscosity oils. Absolutely the best out there
They should be using 0W20 full synthetic oil (not synblend crap). Its not going to hurt running the 5W20 in it instead but next time mention it at write up. Mazda claims benefits such as better cold start protection and better efficiency among other things.
