I know this topic has been beaten to death but here is my experience.
I went to the dealer a few days back and asked them if I can use synthetic oil during the next oil change. The guy said it was ok to use syn. and that the dealership will do the oil change to syn. if I bring it in.
Just for s**** and giggles, I sent an email to Mazda USA asking them about using syn. and here is their response:
'Thanks for contacting Mazda. We appreciate the opportunity to address your inquiry.
Unfortunately, synthetic oil is not recommended by Mazda. You should use SAE 5W 30 in your Mazdaspeed3. Going outside of the recommended specifications can void your warranty if related concerns arise.'
I'm confused!!??
