I should mention I left Mazda about 3 years ago but I am still in the loop. Mazda has changed their ideas about oil in these cars, DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC. It is causing apex seals to fail. Mazda has bumped up the warranty on the engines because of originally recommending synthetic. I am not sure if it stayed with the original owners but knowing Mazda they will cover you. They are a good company. So far as the bushings go I haven't done any looking into the aftermarket world since I don't own one but I have installed a few sets of bushings and it does make all the difference in the world.
