Hi Ben.
Most people use a mineral oil, as it burns cleaner. I just use Castrol GTX.

Same here - Castrol GTX 10w/40 mineral oil. However, if you search through these threads you will find many people have different opinions on which oil to use. Mazda have recommended that only mineral oil is used, yet others have been using synthetic oils with no problems. One of those questions that seems to open a can of worms lol..
