Hello Scotty,
I have a Mazda 2 - 2013 - made in japan - manual transmission
It has 255,000KMS on the clock and I use Castrol Edge 5w-30 A3/B4 full synthetic oil
i have been using this for 5 years (since owing) this vehicle and have had no problems - I had the car oil changed last week and now my mechanic is telling me to change to a different oil and viscosity
the car does not burn oil or consume it
what should i do ?
Thank you
Simon

Use what Mazda recommends on page 484 of the owners manual(US, Canada) https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/pdf/owners-optimized/2013/mazda3-5door/2013-mazda3-owners-manual.pdfUse oil that meets the manufacturer's specifications.
