Which oil for ND2 top-up?

Technical Area Routine Servicing

  1. My model of MX-5 is: 2019 ND RF__
  2. I’m based near: Leicester
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: oil__

I’ve a 2019 2.0 RF which I believe was filled with Mazda 5W-30 at the last service (about 8 months ago).
The oil level is lowish (though not below minimum) so I was planning to top things up a little. Mazda main dealers tell me they do not supply small cans of their oil (they only have bulk supplies), so I’m wondering what is sensible to add to my engine. They also say that Mazda oils are sourced from Total (but no Total oils I can find seem to accurately match the recommended spec.)
Other on-line searches (via Castrol, Shell, etc.) give information which appears to conflict slightly with the Mazda handbook guidance.
The car manual says alternatives are “API SN” or “ACEA A5/B5” (though recommends "Mazda Oil Supra 0W-20 or Mazda Original Ultra 5W-30)

Any suggestions?
(Or should I not be mixing oils at all?)

Thanks

Any good quality 5w30 fully synthetic will be fine for a top up…

I use Mobil 1 5w30 ESP in my ND1 turbo.

Any 5w30 that matches the specs in the manual.
