Switched to Royal Purple 0W-20 oil on last change and OEM Mazda filter. We'll see how it last at 10-12k.
A bit of advice: While under warranty you must change your oil every 7500 miles or 6 months to maintain the Mazda powertrain warranty. After 60K miles do whatever you like.
My dealer offered me an unlimited powertrain warranty as part of the car (no charge) so I will be changing mine every 6mo or 7500mi to maintain it with full documentation.
That would depend which Schedule you are following?
Mazda Maintenance Passport: First visit Schedule 1 - 7.5K miles (6 months) or Schedule 2 - 5k miles (4 months) | Second visit Schedule 1 - 15K miles (12 months) or Schedule 2 - 10K (8 months)
Owner's Manual: First oil change Flexible Maintenance Schedule 1 - 10K miles (12 months) or Fixed Maintenance - 7.5K miles (6 months) or Schedule 2 - 5k miles (4 months)
* Schedule 1 = normal freeway/highway commute driving
* Schedule 2 = severe driving conditions
As for me, I followed Schedule 1 @ 7.5K miles with OEM filter and Castrol 0W-20 Syn oil. Second oil change will be @ 19.5K miles or 12K miles later.
