Here's a sample of Toyota's. Oil is mineral. OEM will always be pricier than equivalents....anywhere.

Is mazda still using shell oil?
5 liters of FS shell oil is still cheaper at shell gas stations i think.

Mazda is using Shell Helix Ultra Pro FS 5w-30. For SkyD, 0w-30 ACEA C3. Not all stations carry these.

I'm getting favorable results from Dexos 2 rated ZIC oil.

Just do a 3-4x atf drain and refill, shifting on all gears 3-4x before draining.

Have you inquired from them? Maybe they sell the bushings separately.

Shocks can leak without any visible signs. Last Sunday I went to Motech to ask for a diagnosis on a rattling sound up front in my Mz2. Without raising the car they checked the shocks if there was still "play" or rather lack. They pushed down on each corner, the car should stop after 1-2 bounces. Still good. Next they raised it up and began shaking every suspension part by hand and a crowbar. Found the stab link loose.

They actually did the same but did not hear any nor found anything wrong with the shocks, will try to bring to another shop for a 3rd opinion.

Then I think the casa was being too cautious (and sneaky). I think you're fine.

More of the latter really, the newly assigned SA I think is trying to get some pogi points if he managed to get the customer agree to his every recommendation. Big mistake on my part was leaving my M3 on her own, did not get the chance to talk to the attending mechanic.

I missed my previous suking SA who has resigned, always kind let me know first hand what needs immediate replacing.

i agree with yatta.
just drive it, po, until the squeak turns into a real lagutok, which can be years from now..
i don't think anything will happen to your car just yet.
enjoy.

Agree, too. And should parts & dampers go....Upgrade em to better than OE. The best part? Superpro bushes + Koni Special Actives might cost you less than stock![emoji4]

Thanks Doc and Travs, I agree, I think I'm better off leaving things as is at least for now.

0W20 is better than 5W30

Honda uses 0w20 FS oil on their gas cars now. Subaru also uses the same viscosity for their NA engines.

It’s better to check the manual for the range of viscosities required for your car’s engine.
