Oil service interval was 5 months.
During this time the car was driven 75% highway (including a few long distance trips), 25% rural/city. I typically drive the car conservatively, but I sometimes like to accelerate fast on open highway on-ramps and get the RPMs close to red line.
Oil was Mobil 1 0w20 SM and oil filter was a Purolator PureOne.
My reason for sampling is from the thread below where I was concerned with visual cam lobe wear (although the report doesn't find anything out of sorts).
Cam Lobe Wear
The oil was changed at the time of UOA sampling. UOA was done after idling the car although it was still warm from a prior highway drive. The current fill is Mobil 1 0w20 SN and a Purolator PureOne filter. I will follow the 7,500 mile OCI as dictated by Mazda.
Most importantly, I love driving this car! Let me know what you folks think. Thanks.
