using a heavier oil weight has been an old trick to help with oil consumption in Subarus for a long time now. I used to use Rotella 5w40 (before the reformulation) in my old 04 Baja Turbo and that particular oil was the best to keep the oil burning down.
My regular since i think 2014 or so has been helix ultra 5w40 running in all my vehicles currently.
I run 0w30 in my F82 M4 as that's what BMW and Shell recommend.
No, but I did keep 2 quarts of oil and a gallon jug of water. My Mazda Protege was notorious for burning oil and overheating

I am using 15W40 Shell Oil for the last 8 years. No issues. 160k Kms on the Odometer
I prefer synthetic myself in my CX50 Turbo, but Mazda engines aren't very picky overall.
I have always used shell 10w-40 and did regular oil changes around 4-4.5k. Faced no issues what so ever, engine was still healthy, no oil consumption, almost same performance.
zu viel Kurzstrecke. mach mal nen Ölwechsel und lass den wagen dann mal richtig auf Temperatur kommen.
they only say you can do that with their Mazda-branded oil. That stuff tends to be expensive.
