Im sure Mazda knows that u gotta drive rotary hard to get rid of the carbon, I think even the old KKM engine got some carbon issues. but there is no way that Mazda can issue a statement like *Please drive your car hard to avoid problems*

People can use whatever they want, but no hating synthetic please

this is going off topic guys, its time to stop this, I think 5w20 is not so good for rotary (any engines, actually)
So you're saying that Mazda is purposely destroying their own cars and their own reputation?!?! They tested the Renesis engine then decided to recommend oil that would destroy it?

5W-20 ruins engine?

My 2004 just past 93,000km (58,000mi) with greddy turbo since Oct 05 on 5W20 (synthetic). Mileage includes track days. It's running better than ever.
