OP lives in a more civilized country than the united states, so he likely has 5w30 as the recommendation by mazda.

I personally think the best lubricant is found in dumpsters outside plastic surgeons' offices. They suck the fat out of women and have to dispose of it. You have to render it by cooking it. This will also help you to seperate the blood that will be in there. One old fat broad can supply you with enough oil to do two oil changes.

If you get more than you can use, you can always make soap out of it like they did in Fight Club.

I run my engine on KY. The cooling stuff

The more friction there is, the more the "cooling" sensation is enhanced

I know some people from Belgium. Good people.

Just got through reading a lot of oil posts on this web site and came away more confused than ever.

If you are not sure, just go with Mazda's recommendation.

After the break in period I will be switching to Royal Purple 10w-30 (I live in Florida).

I just got back from Brugge in November. I love that place.
Droevig, spreek ik geen Vlamingen.

5w-30 is the proper grade.
You can decide for yourself which is more appropriate - natural or synthetic - by reading the threads on the subject.
