Engine oil OEM Mazda or PETRONAS
The 5W30 full synthetic engine oil works the best for a wide spectrum. Its working temperature range is practical for daily use and it costs less than 5W40.
My giulietta 1.4 MA is still reliable at 130k km. Never had any problems with engine always used recommended petronas oil. Had to rebuild my turbo once (at 120k km) it had very little play that made my car burn some oil.
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.
