many thanks
a lot of people, me included, use castrol gtx mineral oil 10w40. Prob the safest bet matey, some people use synthetics, but a lot of them arent suitable. Mineral oil is a safe bet, recommended by Mazda, especially as your just topping up, then when you get there Ross can advise you if you wanted to use something different.
I often find castor oil very good..... There\'s a magic button towards the top of each page, that finds loads of information as well as other things. :D

thanks guys for the advice, will prob go with the mineral oil for now just to be safe, cheers :cheers
I have been using halfords advanced mineral oil 10-40 with no ill effects, though ahve just changed to silkolene xtr 10-40 as supplied by oilman on this forum...
he knows his stuff and can get good prices for decent oils....
Use a 10w-40 semi-synthetic as it\'s a mineral oil anyway, just more thermally stable.
Cheers
