You already broke the bible for not going to a Mazda Dealer to do your oil.

Now you're going to HELL ! You Little Sinner !

Bottom line use what you want!Heres some you can use:

Mazda Certified from the dealer 5w-20 (Non Synthetic)
Castrol GTX 5w-20 (Non Synthetic)
Valvoline 5w-20 (Non Synthetic)
Pennzoil 5w-20 (Non Synthetic)
Royal Purple 5w-20 (Full Synthetic)
Mobil 1 5w-20 (Full Synthetic)
My dealer said the Mazda oil is Castrol GTX.
