Got Ink?
There is not a light for low oil level... it is a warning light that indicates low oil PRESSURE. Watch the gauge to monitor it before it gets to that point. If you are seeing that light, you've got bigger problems to worry about than what oil to use or how much to add.

People always post that picture when talking about using synthetics, but I have never seen anyone say how it compares to any regular synthetic like mobil1. There are always opinions and never facts posted. Has anyone actually had any tests done or tried to find out if it is just a repackaged synthetic from another company or was it reworked and made to be a better synthetic for the renesis by Mazda?

No facts or opinions in that comment...just adding the the traditional noise of a full-featured oil thread.

My actual point for posting that pic was not for the allusion to synth or not (not going to go down that road), but viscosity choice (in this case, 0W30).....relating to the whole anti-5W20 deal etc etc.

Actually I've got some of my best service at WallyMart.
They are so used to complaints that they go out of their way to prove they do it 'right'.
They'll show you your empty oil bottles to prove what they put in, and they had me witness the manager using a torque wrench to put the final torque on my wheel changeover - I gots no complaints!

i have been using a synthetic blend mobile 1 oil in mine and had no issues at all. is it impossible to go back to regular oil now? even tho it is just a "synthetic blend" instead of "full synthetic"? and also should i stick with what im doing by having the thinner oil in winter and thicker oil in summer?

Perspective owner here. I like to do my own oil changed on my vehicles. I consider it bonding time. Will I have to take the car to a shop to get an oil change so I'll have records for the warantee, or can I save the receipts for the oil and filter I bought?

...yes, and video tape yourself doing the oil change (for proof), lol

you don't "have" to log it there but I do just for the extra documentation, just in case.
Also make a photo copy of your cashregister receipts, they fade over time.
