This has zero chance of happening. There's no way they are going to update old cars to disable that. You knew it had that feature when you bought it. You accepted it then. Hell, they may not even remove it from future cars. Maybe, MAYBE, if the next Gen car comes out and they do disable i-Stop...

Right. Because if my car takes a s*** at 50K miles because I didn't swap tranny fluid I am certainly buying another Mazda. There is absolutely NO shortage of people going to dealers for work as evidenced by the times to get into some of these dealers. They don't need to MAKE the cars fail to...

9 years. My only dealer visit was...when I backed out of the garage and broke my side mirror. :(

"Lifetime" does not mean "during the warranty period"... So tired of that Conspiracy theory. Every company says this today...it does not mean "through the warranty'...it doesn't mean "up to 100K". It means A LONG TIME. Can you imagine if Mazda's trans only lasted to 50K miles? Probably...

That's awesome. Here's my list: - Axle boot - rear shock mounts

OMG I thought this was a new thread and I started scrolling...then saw my replies... :D I posted in...2019/2020. I still have that car. Almost 90K miles. A warranty would have still been a waste of money. What are you buying Smithjn?

Oh, god, let's not turn this into the "Oil Change" thread... :D

And that dude apparently recommends 3,000 mile oil changes...lost my respect there...

The older CX5's do leave the USB port in the console hot all the time. Even so, it would take weeks for that thing to drain a good battery.

I thought so! Was surprised they weren't.

I'm not that invested and perfectly willing to believe what they're saying. I can understand a company not wanting to pay for certification. And it's not like BP is some tiny little gas company. At the end of the day, there are no BPs around me. 🤷

https://www.bp.com/en_us/united-states/home/products-and-services/fuels.html From the FAQ on that page: Does bp's gasoline meet TOP TIER™ detergent gasoline standards? All grades of bp and Amoco gasoline with Invigorate® exceed...

FTR BP Invigorate exceeds TT specs supposedly. I absolutely only use TT fuel, but BP and Aamco are both safe, too. They just don't pay to get certified.

I stopped changing my own oil because it's more convenient to have my Indy do it. I drive somewhere. I wait an hour. I work while I wait. Done. Instead of buying parts, crawling around on the cement, dealing with hot oil , and hope you don't spill any on the driveway!!! ... and then my...

My 330 hp supercharged, turbo charged engine does not suffer oil dilution to any noticeable degree.
