in a car that requires 5W20! Check the top of your oil cap under your hood for verification.
you may get away with 5W30 but not 5W40---it's too thick. I still would put in 5W20 for winter, you may get away with 5W30 synthetic in the summer.
Even though it says in pdf for all mazdas, it still must be proper oil weight as in this schedule in that pdf: http://www.tds.castrol.com.au/pdf/50...98_2009_06.pdf
Castrol Magnatec Professional 5W-40 is suitable for use where the following
specifications or classifications are cited:

In Queensland Australia where I now live & work we use 5w40 semi sythetic in Mazdas.
Back in NZ we used 5w30 mineral oil.
Diferent countries & climates will dictate the oil spec.
