Default Oil Change

I have 2 years of free oil changes from the dealership. It is almost time for my first oil change and I was wondering if I should let them do it or do it myself. If I let them do it, what are the chances they use full synthetic?

They won't. They will use the recommended oil.

Unless it's a dealer from hell and they don't know what a Mazdaspeed3 is.

Be wary! Some dealerships ONLY have one grade of oil. Some of the ones in VA/Md only have 5w-20. I would avoid using 5w-20 in these engines if possible, the 5w-30 already sheers to a 20...
