i do believe it to be full, now keep in mind over the counter oil is in mazda bottles. bulk oil comes from castrol. but still should be full synth. i dont believe or i havent seen yet a blended and not synth 0w20. then again i dont really look for it.

But this oil from Petro canada, is it the OEM Mazda oil? same as the over the counter bottles?
I read somewhere that is just a generic full synthetic that they provide to ALL dealers here, not just mazda...

oil from mazda in the bottles is from but who knows where that oil comes from. oil from petro is from petro not from mazda but in the 0w20 grade mazda requires. so no it would not be the "same" oil it is not.. but both would be full synth oil either from mazda or petro but im sure 100% they would not be the same as when compared they would have different cleaners and detergents in them and such.
