I like your analysis, but I assume the .11% is of the oil mass and is remaining material that was introduced as antifreeze. In other words, .11% of the oil is not oil and came from antifreeze. I'd expect that would be the non-volatile components of antifreeze that remain after the water...

I recall that I've read that the CX-5 has smaller exterior but equal or larger interior than the CX-7. I also like the size of the CX-5. Maybe a couple more inches of cargo space would be welcome, but I don't want a substantially larger car. I'm very interested in seeing how the CX-70 turns...

I should have mentioned that I don't specifically vouch for the information, and may not have read it all. It seemed to give a plausible accounting of the various things that affect credit related to financing a car. I've been out of the credit score fray for a long time. In our house for...

Okay, this is delayed reaction but I'm not looking for a Hybrid to pay for itself. I'm looking for a plug-in hybrid. Ability to drive without needing gas when convenient, but unlimited range when needed. More power with smaller than otherwise gas engine. Better fuel economy. I'd be...

Wait, what? Discount Tire owns Tirerack? Apparently happened last year. I guess they are tired of price matching :)

I've liked them pretty fine too. I'm over 50K miles but use separate Winter tires for like 4 months a year. I did notice the season before last that they had gotten louder and poorer traction in wet. But then last season they seemed fine. And they're back on again as of Sunday.

Why are you advising OP to use the Severe schedule? Because its 10K miles and the previous one was presumably done at 5K? The default interval is 7500 miles.

I find it difficult to believe, and would be very disappointed.

The Acura dealer got me covered half of my transmission replacement that occurred just outside of their extended warranty. I think it was within the mileage, but a few months outside the time or something. So it was $2K instead of $4K, I wasn't happy because it was a Honda, at least back then...

Another way to state that is the dealer likes you better when you give them an extra thousand or two dollars throughout the warranty period.

I only rotate my tires when I change from winter to general each year. I figure the winter tires will degrade from age before the tread is gone, and the general are the reviled stock tires. If I have to replace them one season early, no big deal. Odds are I'll buy a new car before my 3rd...

I'd at least take the spare wheel. Rubber tires have a finite life based on time, not just usage, and its been a while since CX-7s were produced.

There are 2 other Discount Tires in the area, one of which doesn't charge sales tax. I may give them a try. I see the other sources, and was prepared to use them as price match. It's (usually) much more convenient to use Discount Tire. The local one is right on my way home, others 20-30...

Discount Tire now lists Radar as a vendor, carries Dimax, but don't list this size. I stopped in this morning and they said they cannot order them. No SKU for that size. WTF. They said they could sell me other tires, I said no thanks.

I updated from 70. something to this as well. I don't notice any difference, good or bad. I did not do the recommended factory reset.

Is that version independent of Mazda model? Unlike OP, I wasn't able to find the download in a minute. Unfortunately it isn't obvious to me how to distinguish a clean and valid file, from zipped malware :(

That Hornet is a nice looking car. Much better looking than most of the Japanese makers I favor.
