    A reminder to run Top Tier fuel and avoid cheap gas

    So I have been buying BP gas since I got my car, only to recently find out that BP left Top Tier in November of 2021, and they have not lowered their fuel prices. Now I've switched to Sunoco. Today Sunoco was $2.99/gallon.

    Is Walmart Super Tech coolant the same as FL22?

    I put SPOAT for Stabilized Phosphated Organic Acid Technology from what was printed on the bottle in the picture. The Zerex concentrate does seem best, can make the mix stronger than 50/50 and distilled water is cheaper than the water used in the 50/50 mixes. I see the concentrate for only...

    I had to replace mine in 2023. Got it from Walmart for $139.94 before tax. The original battery lasted 5 years.

    Is Walmart Super Tech coolant the same as FL22?

    The jug states that it is OEM for Mazda, and that it is SPOAT. It should be fine, right? Link Super Tech Coolant

    Daytime running lights on 2022 CX-5 can't be disabled?

    Can someone point me to the sequence to turn running lights on or off? I can't find it. I turned mine off years ago and forgot how.

    Brakes, Brakes and More Brakes…Help! 2018 Mazda3

    How many miles do the rear brake pads last? I don't put many miles on my car but I'm thinking about changing my rear pads. I too have a 2018 Sport CX-5.

    Mazda Oil Filter Question

    I was looking at oil filter prices today, and it appears that the Japan filter is now less money than the Thai filter. But they are calling the Japan filter PE01-14-302B/302A. Not sure why there is a slash 302A in the description. Anyway a pack of 10 Thai filters is $123.99 and a pack of 10...

I never cashed it, I think I still have the check somewhere. I went and found it, the check is for two pennies, not one. And it was versus Ebay, a Brice...

    Clunking noise from driverside front has mechanics stumped

    My CX-5 makes a clunk that I feel more than I hear, when I first pull out of my garage. My car has to roll for it to happen, it doesn't do it putting it in gear or giving it gas. Then after one time it doesn't do it again until the next day. So it seems like something sticks over night and...
