First time I’ve seen a dealer turn down money.

Is it okay to switch my CX-50 to full synthetic 5w30?

5w30 is what’s in it now, it is just Mazda oil (whoever makes it). I think it may be a blend, but no one has comfirmed.

MazdaUSA on Twitter hasn’t replied to me in a year, so I will try here.

      Exactly what I think. I already do oil changes every 5K.

      Since Mazda USA on Twitter wouldn’t respond, I did send the question via their support website. It is so old that it doesn’t have CX30, 50, or 90 as a selectable vehicle. I picked CX5 and explained myself in the body of the email.

      I’m going to do synthetic, but I do want to understand why they recommend this.

        It’s less expensive to do a blend vs synth. The 2.5T was the first turbo I encountered with non-synth oil. Synth only for turbos.
