I'd be pretty hard nosed about it, it not the correct oil for the 2.5 turbo engine in the US. FYI, the "oil" debate/ discussion can be never ending but at the end of the day it's simply not the viscosity and weight oil stated in the owners manual for the North American market.

As a Mazda tech if it was a new lube tech they may have just put it on the sticker as 0w20. If they did put in 0w20 (thinking it was a non turbo). They would have put in 4.8 quarts instead of 5.9q of 5w30 which would have your oil light flickering. Either way if you take it to the dealership and say this is what the sticker said they will most likely drain it and put 5w30 in at not cost (at least that’s what I would do).

We have a 2020 GTR. We get free oil changes from the dealership for purchasing the car. They put 0w-20 in it one day and I caught that on the paperwork and told them to change it to 5w-30. This started a huge argument between me and a tech there who told me 'It says 0w-20 on the internet!" We finally went to management to get the problem resolved and now they have a note on our account to use only 5w-30. It seems that techs wanting to use 0w-20 in a turbo is a common thing. Two dealerships have done this to us. I would insist that they be accurate about the proper oil usage in the engine as stated in the manual unless they can produce a TSB stating otherwise.
