Hi, had a oil change a month or so ago but dont really know what oil was used and just wondered what would be best to use in that case should I need to top it up between changes

Thanks all

Hi, if you go to members pages and lubricants there is a very detailed and very useful factsheet.
hope this helps

If you need to top ANY Mazda between services you've got a problem. (or excessivly high mileage). Have a look at my fact sheet in the members area.

It may be an idea to contact the garage whom carried out the oil change...
I suspect they tried to get away with putting in just five litres, which would be ok if the filter wasn't replaced,but if a new filter was used then it would require a little more.
