okay naman ang Zic, which variant will you be using? Sa office namin halos lahat ng sasakyan, trucks and forklifts included, Zic X6000 ang gamit namin in the last 5 years, never had an issue with it

Pros: no issues in 5 years

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

Pros: kept oil and water
Cons: burning oil, overheating
Vehicle: Mazda Protege

Change the oil at a minimum, and do it regularly. Use a quality synthetic high mileage oil and change it again in a couple thousand miles, then change on regular 5k mile intervals.

Pros: quality synthetic oil
Vehicle: Mazda 6

I have run 0w20 in my 2013 Mazda 3 skyactiv for 244,000 miles. It doesn't burn or leak any oil between changes. I change the oil and filters every 5-6,000 miles.

Pros: no burning or leaking
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 244000 km

I personally am changing my own oil with full synthetic on my 23 2.5T every 6000 km or so. No need other than peace of mind for me. Doing it myself only takes 30 minutes and $35 in oil, filter and crush washer.

Pros: peace of mind
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 6000 km

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
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Part number: GF-5 0W-20

Cons: ticking started after switch
Vehicle: Kia
