i have a 05 mazda 6 v6 with around 120k miles factory recommended oil 5w20. and i have a 11 mazda cx-7 with around 5k miles factory recommended 5w30. i normally use amsoil, PU or PP. so i was wanting to just keep 5w30 at home for both cars. any problems with this? basically im looking for best protection and gas mileage. what if i went the route of something like 0w30 or rotellas t6 5w40? thanks for any help.
 
Nothing wrong with 0w30 in both, though it will sap some MPG on the 6.

Rotella would be way too thick.
 
You won't notice any difference in MPG. I don't and I use it vs. 5w20. If there is any difference you won't even notice it on paper.
