Which oil do you guys pour into your beloved Mazda5 (newer 2.5liter engine)?

Is the usual 0W20 Mobil 1 is sufficient or better use something fancy like Liqui Moly?

Thanks
 
I use whatever the dealership pours in it - at $40 for oil change + tire rotation, I just pay them to do it instead of having to deal with disposing of the oil and making a mess :)

I don't do it myself either, but I do care what to pour into my engine.
Please, no more answers like "whatever dealer does".
 
I believe my dealership uses Mobil 1 Synthetic, which is what I've always used in my previous cars as well.
 
I use whatever is on sale.
All 0-20 oils are Synthetic that you can buy retail, all suppose to meet some sort of test... at least I hope :)
I don't think oil brand as long as major would make any difference at all on the life of this low performance engine.

I know Honda to save cost came out with a cheaper 0-20 semi-synthetic but I have not seen it for sale outside Honda shops.
Maybe Mazda dealers use semi-synthetic as well if they do a $40 oil change and rotation, otherwise they would not make profit.

I don't think we can have $40 0w20 oil change here in Canada. US- maybe, still pretty low price.
