Engine oil OEM Mazda or AMSOIL

AMSOIL Engine oil

I\u2019ve been running Amsoil signature 0w-20 in my FL5 for about 5k miles now. No track driving, just a mixture of city/highway. Some spirited pulls and rowing through the gears but mostly normal driving. Car is stock aside from PRL intake and custom tune. Had Blackstone do an oil analysis after the first 3k miles and all was well and below the average for all wear metals. I\u2019m in Florida so pretty hot climate overall. Very happy with the oil and will continue to use it at that viscosity

Pros: happy with the oil
Mileage: 5000 km

OEM Mazda Engine oil

For [Naturally-Aspirated Skyactiv engines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyActiv), it is highly recommended that you use Mazda's own(Idemitsu) high molly GF-5 0w-20. [Arguably it is one of the best oil for skyactiv engines](http://www.cleanmpg.com/community/index.php?threads/45295/#post-357910).

Pros: best oil for skyactiv

AMSOIL Engine oil

Amsoil OE for gasoline engines. Amsoil Turbo Truck for diesels. They are reasonably priced naman for their specs. They have the latest API rating din.

Pros: reasonably priced, latest API

OEM Mazda Engine oil

I encountered something similar when I took my CE Turbo in for service a few weeks ago. The invoice said 0W20 and when I asked the service manual why they used the wrong oil they told me “oh our technicians know what oil to use, ignore that.” Needless to say I have zero confidence that the correct oil was used.

Cons: wrong oil used
Vehicle: Mazda
