Doesnt your manual also say 91 AKI with no mention of 93?

What Mazda forum are you talking about?

I figured it out. My dealer was filling with 5W-20 and the online manual said to use 5W-20 (hence my belief to use 5W-20). When I looked at my paper manual it says to use 5W-30 with the turbo. This has been confirmed by Mazda Corp. via email.
Mystery solved.

You might double check the owner's manual if you really do own a turbo charged MazdaSpeed.
5w-20 was a mis-print. It's definitely 5w-30. Most MZR owners are seeing UOA's show shearing to 20w anyhow, as mine has done on last 2 reports. Wear numbers have been good, so not sure the shearing is necessarily a problem.

Hi,
TR3-2001SE - I agree with your comments. IMHO it is too early in the engine's life to judge it or any lubricant in it

To that point arent even the DI engines using RLI seeing chemical shear, but not seeing the wear expected?

I run 5w-30 PP in mine and have considered 10w-30, but I'm sticking with the factory spec. My wife noticed the dealer put 5w-20 in on the first change and made then change it out (What a great wife!). I spoke to the service manager and he said 5w-30 was recommended for all of the turbo engines and it was the only reason that had it in the shop.
