oil change at the dealer
Just did another oil change at the dealer. I never really checked before but I just looked at the work order. They put 5W-20 semi-synthetic oil in the car. Not bad considering they didn't charge me more than for a regular oil change.

With all the confusion about oil, I only get the car serviced at authorized Mazda dealer. I don't care if they put mud in the car, something goes wrong, they owe me.

My first couple of oil changes, the dealer used 10w30. I had read the threads here about how the computer wouldn't allow the tech to code in 5w20, but the dealers were swearing they were using 5w20. So I paid the receipt no mind. My last change I asked the guy and he said yea they do put in 10w30 that's what the dealer recommends. So I ask about using 5w20 and the guy said it will cost more. I replied that I get the free maintainence, he said he would check with the service advisor and came back and said it's covered. I'm sorry but I don't understand how a Mazda dealer can go against the owner's manual?

I stood there and watched them 'fill her up' from these 'barrels' and so I have no issue with the printout saying something different to what they actually use!
