Mazda 5 2012 factory oil

[sonicsteve]

What kind of oil do mazda 5's come with? Mineral or Sythetic? Does anyone know for certain? I read somewhere that the 2012's come with synthetic, and that prior to 2012 they shipped with mineral base.

When I picked up my new 2012 Mazda 5 last month, they made me aware that, compared to our other 2008 Mazda 5, these cars now come with fully synthetic 0w20 motor oil.

As far as I know, the 0W multigrade oils can only be manufactured so they have to be synthetic, I don't know this for sure because when I pick up my 0W-20 it's Mobile 1 so they are all synthetics under the Mobile 1 name anyway. If you can't find a conventional 0W-XX then you know it's probably true.
