Below is my Blackstone UOA for the FF oil in my 2014 Mazda6 which I assume is Mazda 0W20 with Moly.
I am a bit concerned about the high Iron and Copper. I bought the car with 81 miles on the odo, so I hope some test drivers weren't abusing it before I picked it up. I have driven it per the manual for the 1st 600 miles and normal 60/40 hiway/city commutes since with a couple longer trips recently. I also noted when I took the oil sample at 6,016 mi.that it was about 3/4 qt. low.
I intend to change the oil using Mazda 0W20 with Moly soon. Just waiting for the oil to show up. I gave up on the local dealer who hasn't been able to get me the new formula in over a month and a half. So I found a dealer in PA that had it in stock at a reasonable price and should be here on the 18th.

MAKE/MODEL: Mazda 2.5L Inline 4 SkyActiv OIL TYPE & GRADE: Gasoline Engine Oil

COMMENTS
BRUCE: Congrats on your new Mazda. There's quite a bit of metal in this sample, but don't worry too much. This is from wear-in, and the silicon comes from sealers, and as the engine progresses through a few oil changes, you'll see some nice progress from here. Averages are based on about 6,500 miles on the oil, so we'll be aiming for similar metals within a few oil changes. The TBN read 2.7, which is fine, and no contamination was found. Since too much metal in the oil can be abrasive, we'd change this oil within about 1,000 miles or so. Check back after your next oil run.
