Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Recommended Oil

Oil container labels provide important information.
A chief contribution this type of oil makes to fuel economy is reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction.
U.S.A. and CANADA
Only use oils “Certified For Gasoline Engines” by the American Petroleum Institute (API). An oil with this trademark symbol conforms to the current engine and emission system protection standards and fuel economy requirements of the International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC), comprised of U.S. and Japanese automobile manufacturers.
Except U.S.A. and CANADA
Use SAE 5W-20 engine oil. If SAE 5W-20 engine oil is not available in your market. Use SAE 5W-30 engine oil.
The quality designation SM, or ILSAC must be on the label.

But if it's near or below Low or MIN, add enough oil to bring the level to Full or MAX.
CAUTION:
Don't add engine oil over Full or
