Yeah I have read about this. My dad's new Roush takes the same oil but he said the local auto parts doesnt sell 5-20, only 5-30. I guess I'll have to look around for the 20 weight.

It wasn't used. I guess it was just a left over 06 the dealer had. The dealer is a Dodge/Mazda place and they are currently building a new structure next door specifically for Mazda, so they probably didn't have enough room to display all of the 8's.
