Does the fan motor turn freely? I'm not sure if relays blow fuses, but a bad motor definitely could blow a fuse.

I think there is a screw in the armrest under a trim piece. I've never replaced the window switch but I think it is accessible when you get everything apart. Breaking clips when you pop them out seems to be completely normal, I broke a few when I was installing sound deadening in the doors.

I always fill the tank with the non ethanol when I get the chance, I guess it is solely for the increased range. I'm sure I would prefer non-ethanol for the same price as the E10. Supposedly the price of ethanol is lower than gasoline, so it makes sense that the E10 is cheaper. But why do they...

I've never tried to calculate that.

The last batch I bought ...about $12 each ...

I always get better gas mileage with the no-ethanol premium.

Both of the filters looked very clean, even under the microscope. I agree that it looks like the Mazda filter might have better flow as not only the element has more area but the media is much more 'open' .

Here's a recent thread about the Engine control sensor. Since your dash reads an ok temperature maybe in your case you have an issue with the actual switch or circuit that controls the fan, which is shorted or in the closed postion...

The water pump pushed the hot water out of the engine into the radiator. Sometimes it's a good idea to run the engine to circulate the coolant until it's cooled down a bit.

The times I have checked the computer MPG it was lower than the actual calculated, but I've only done the calculations a few times. I think it was 2-3mpg difference.

Because of the transmission on the hybrid?

I thought the turbo uses 5w-30?

Mazda changed the design of the roof rails in 2017. I have seen a number of setups with crossbars that attach directly to the 6mm mounting holes under the plastic drain rail strip. Crossbars are available... rails.. I saw this here recently that attaches directly to the roof with curved rails...

Do you want to be able to adjust the crossbars location?
