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).
Fuchs Titan GT1 5w30.
2014 3, 0W-20 full synthetic (whatever major brand is cheapest) from brand new, every 7500 miles.
170k, runs like a top, burns not a single drop between changes, compression and fuel mileage exactly the same as new.
Fuchs is excellent oil, run it in my nismo 370z cause it has specific esters that the cylinder liners need. Don't think it's necessary BMW engines but it is very good quality oil.
I use Mazdas 5w-30 Ultra DPF. Mazda once said that this was the oil that they're using, so I guess what's used by mazda can't be too bad for the rex
Using it for 5 years, changing oil avery 8000-10000 kikomiters, enjine souns good (as for disel car)
Could be weather related. I'm in Canada and we have weather from -35C to +35C, so Mazda recommends oil changes every 8000km instead of 12,000km.
I use original Mazda oil and Nipparts for the filters. I live in Europe and I buy these for 80€ / 85$.
For the record, this is NOT the exact replacement to Mazda 0W-20 GF-5 with Moly - Synthetic Engine Oil.
While this has high molybdenum, it's still a different formula from Mazda's own proprietary blend.
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.
