I'm about to change my wifes oil with synthetic 0w20 (as per manual) for the second time in 8 months.
The schedule Mazda calls for on the 2 liter is 4 months or 5k miles.
I love the car, love the engine, really like the company, but does this interval not seem slightly over the top for such a high quality oil?
Is it the high compression in the skyactive that makes these changes necessary? I feel badly dumping $40 a gallon synthetic at 4 months and such low miles, just to keep the warranty happy.
