Yes it is a great forum and i have learned so much from it. Not too mention it gives mazda enthuesits a way to rich out and make a statement, the modserators and all the work of the above mentioned have put in to keep us up-to-date, get the facts straight and supply us with various topics.

Maybe thats a bargain after the last time they changed my oil - with synthetic and 3 quarts too much. Oh yeah, they told me "Mazda is wrong about synthetic". Could be. But in 40,000 miles if the motor needs to be rebuilt due to synthetic (it won't be) guess who the dealer would bill - Mazda.

Dealers are in business to sell cars not work on them. We should all keep it that way.

Your engine absolutely positively will not be harmed from your use of synthetics. That is a 100% certainty. It will not happen. If something does happen, someone may blame it on synthetics but they will be wrong.
