Good luck with that. Here in the Portland (Oregon) area, I have tried to get Mazda 0W-20 GF-5 (made by Idemitsu) without success. For instance, at Royal Moore Mazda in Hillsboro, I went to the parts department and asked for Mazda 0W-20 GF-5.
"We don't stock it."
"Do you know when you will get it in?"
"We have never heard of it."
"It's made for Mazda, and has a Mazda part number . . ."
"Don't tell us. We are not interested. Good bye."
