Recommended vs required. I'd say required would be whatever maintenance you must perform on your car to make it airworthy, i mean "road-worthy". To pass the state inspection, to be allowed on public roads with it.

Don't pay. Say no to cabin air filter, engine air filter and other crap like these. It's so easy and cheap to replace those things yourself. Even spark plugs replacement it's a DIY kind of job. And pardon me for asking, but what kind of BS is this: alignment at 12.000 miles? They are really...

There are no screws on this trim

That's a plastic trim that can be removed. Probably is missing some clips. If you have some plastic tool, you could try to gently remove it and you'll see how it's mounted and see if there are any clips missing. I've done some work on my car and had to remove this trim. There is a lot of dust...

Well, I get that. The water from the garden hose wasn’t cold, not enough to mess with the engine. And you’d have to pour a lot of cold water on that engine to mess it up, to crack the engine or something. With low pressure, most of the water was evaporating rather quick.

Yes. They do it with my car, for example.

I just did the math, on average 72 miles/day.

Filters replaced an hour ago. That’s how they look in my car after few months in use.

I replace the cabin filter and the engine air filter every 3-4 months.

The Miata friend who recommended this is also my colleague at work. So Monday morning I'll take some mazdas247 wisdom with me and convince the guy to stop using this crap. 😆

I am not convince I'll use it. Probably the can will end up in my friend's garage, to use it on his Miata.

A friend of mine has a Miata and recently he just recommended this product, Prolube Oil Treatment. He said that he adds it to the car, to the engine, of course, every time he's doing an oil change. He told me that this product is very good, quiets down the engine and protects it better. My...

That's good stuff. Next time I'll try to get some of these. On the connectors matter, the modern cars have seal tight connector and water should not make contact with the pins. But high pressure water, all the instructions I've read said no to high pressure. And it makes sense to me, considering...

Today I decided to clean the engine bay. Never done it before but after few YouTube instructions and some careless(!) considerations, I went for it. I only spent, maybe 15-20 minutes with the cleaning process. but I am satisfied with the result. The more time you allocate and the more patience...
