What oil weight are you using?
My girlfriend just picked up a Mazda Tribute. The Haynes manual say to use 5W20 weight oil. What are y'all using? 5W20 seems light to me. What about synthetic? I prefer syn, but would like to hear from some that have used it in this vehicle.

What does the sticker under the hood say?
I have an 02 F150 4.2 that used 5w-20(so it can't be too light) use the weight that is specified for the truck. Also check the oil bottle if it meets Ford's standard(as far as syns go).
I would use the owners manual before I refer to those "great" Haynes books anyway.
