I'm using the Mobile 1 108A filter. My wife's 2010 Mazda 3S has the 2.5l engine. The last OIC for her car was 27.5 months, 8,537 mi using 5W-20 Mobile 1 oil and the M1-102 filter. The Blackstone UOA found the tbn was sufficient to run the car until 10,500 mi regardless of time. There were...

I once owned a 90 Honda Civic. A local dealer wouldn't give me the price I wanted so I went to their competition in the next town. I started experiencing a shifting problem - the transmission would "pop" out of 4th gear after the 3-4 upshift. I took the car to the dealer I purchased the car...

See my post at 12:30 pm - it has an attached screenshot of the 2018 CX-5 Owners manual. It was not the low oil pressure warning light.

Here's the light that I saw - I was confused since it was not the low oil pressure light which is RED. The Low Oil Level warning light came on only briefly. Now that I added the remaining oil in the 5 Qt jug, the oil reading is fine - a uniform, thick film right between the Full and Add marks.

Thanks, Avoiding Deer. I regularly use the web-based version that's saved as a favorite - it's especially useful for your smartphone.

I'll definitely add more oil next time. There's no way I can accurately check my oil at my residence since my parking spaces slant downhill. That's why I decided to take the risk of moving the car to a more level area in the adjoining neighborhood. It is strange that the low oil level light...

Thanks, cz5gt & Christopher! I'll just dump the rest of the jug in. After doing my own servicing of my wife's 2010 3S and my former 2011 3i Touring, this new car is very complicated - 600+ page owners manual? I had to find a web-based one that was searchable.

I posted this in another thread, but will create a new one since I need to decide what to do. Background - 9/28/2018 - 1st oil change at around 3k miles. Put the car on homemade ramps and drained the oil overnight since removing the filter with a band wrench took to long and I decided to fill...

An insurance claims rep once told me that I should be able to see the car's rear tires when I stop behind a car. This is to prevent being shoved into the car in front of you if rear-ended. My sister was given a ticket for hitting the car in front of her even though the ultimate fault was the...
