I use Mazda's weight recommendation for my environment, as illustrated in your owners manual. I use 10W-30 and 15W-40 Full-Synthetic oils with zinc additives to stave off carbon deposits.

Our 2013 Mazda 3 has been BULLETPROOF reliable for 185k miles. Never been in the shop once for any reason. Other than normal disposables, I've replaced the shocks at 180k, both front wheel bearings at 150k, and a MAF sensor around 160k. All easy DIY jobs. Also did a serpentine belt/tensioner at 160k. Other than that, just fluids and tires/brakes.
Use iso alcohol on a microfiber towel, wipe the windscreen/back window and the wiper blades with it, then take off the excess and dry with another one.
Then use a glass cleaner+fresh microfiber to clean the windscreen, and wipe the wiper blades(all 3).
2014 Mazda 3, about 65k km.\n\n2nd battery only because I left the lights on one time a few years ago and needed a replacement. Nil problems otherwise.
2018 Mazda 6 is going fine.\n\nProbably due for a battery soon as preventative maintenance.
I've purchased these and they fit well. Much cheaper than letting the dealer do it.
I had a 2009. I replaced the rear shocks, they were gone by 50K.
the starter failed too.
Mazda brakes are notoriously shit. They’re garbage. Buy a set of PowerStop brakes and be done with it. They’re far superior to the Mazda brakes. Go on any forum and you’ll see countless people having the same issue as you. New brakes between 15-20,000 miles. Me included. I’ve owned 2 6s from new. Both needed brakes around 20,000 miles. Both times I put on PowerStops and never had another issue.
My rotors needed changing at 30k miles- down to 2mm and failed inspection.
