I would just follow the longer drain Mazda recommendation of 7,500 miles. How much are you saving by going to 10K with rebates and cheap oils?

This is for Canadian gas.
Thanks. It appears that in US, they reduced the sulfur to 10 ppm in 2017 to match that of California and European Union gas. The car was a 2016 model when the gas had 30 ppm sulfur, but 12,500 miles should be OK with the current 10-ppm-sulfur gas and Group III or GTL synthetic and 15,000 - 20,000 miles should be OK with a PAO synthetic like M1 EP 0W-20 (only the 0W-20 viscosity grade) or Amsoil SS (any viscosity grade).

Is that your opinion, Or is there some sort of compelling reason for you to state that?
The compelling reason is Mazda designed and built the engine,not a bunch of internet tinkerers.
