I stand there and watch them. I'm jaded and a cynic, too.

Has your dealership give you a hard time about using synthetic oil, mine is stating that Mazda does not recommend using this oil due to their variable valve system. Has anyone change their oil to synthetic and have you seen any problems. I've had 2 other turbo vehicles prior of this one and have always used synthetic and never had any problem and the reason that I change it is due to the turbo temperature is lower with synthetic which runs better.

I checked it out and no lie it was black and the guy recommended that I do a total flush. I watched the guy change the oil so he wasnt full of crap. I told him that I only had 6,000 miles on the car and he told me to take it to the dealer to find out what the actual problem was. When I went to the dealer they gave me a hard time about using synthetic and said they would look into it. As a result they told me that they couldnt find anything wrong with my car and told me to bring it back before my next oil change and they would check it out themselves. I have 8,000 on it now so it will be awhile before my next service. I dont drive that far to work. Will keep you all posted.
