Hi all. I'm looking for a list of online places, such as a dealer's parts store, that sell genuine Mazda parts. I have 2004 Mazda 3S and am looking for FL22 coolant and an air filter. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I had a brain fart, but I am glad you figured out that I have a 2004 Mazda 3. I do not have a car alarm. As for aftermarket parts, I do have some things installed but they are parts that I cannot imagine would have the effect of making the light blink. I have installed a thicker air intake...
