after replacing semi-syn oil with mineral, FD runs noticably smoother and eager to rev? Anyone had any similar things happen?

The Mazda workshop manual recommends mineral oil and they should know?

i thought exactly the same thing after replacing mineral with semi-synth!
 
i\'d imagine any type of fresh oil allows the engine to run a bit smoother, repeated heating and cooling killing off oil\'s lubing ability and all that.

I thought you were supposed to run mineral oil in these cars? I always have anyways....
