Local shops are typically not open when I'm available to get small stuff like this done.

Castrol Edge, the synthetic one for GDI engines or whatever. Who knows what filter. Next time I might just ask them to put my own on.

I was $67 after taxes for a full synthetic oil change. At the dealer I'm almost $100. It was a bit of a wait but next time I'll know to come right at appointment time and it will be about an hour and 15 mins.

How and when would a person know when this part requires replacement?

I've run most of my vehicles well over 350K kms. In fact, the last 2 have rotted out before engine/transmission failure.

Nope, they have a whole online booking system. They only take appointments, no walk ins so no waiting (other than waiting for the service). Keeps the chaos down at the Tire and Lube place. You must be mistaken because I just looked and I can book...tire appointments...at least in Plano Texas...

Just went on too long. I'm only a few thousand over. I'm an oldschool every 5km oil change guy.

At Costco up here they book appointments. 10:30 tomorrow morning (thought it was today). No waiting, no nothing. The lady was quite helpful. 59.99 for full synthetic.

I've always gone to the dealer, but they are not open weekends anymore so I'm going to Costco. Castrol Edge is a good oil, the filter can't be that bad. I'm doing it. Roast me, I don't care but I need one badly.

Well, she went last night. A quick $280 for scrap. She was a good one.

Not for nothin' but in my CX-5 I definitely notice if I run 91 octane. I'm not sure about power gains or anything like that, but it runs smoother, a little less sluggish. If I run the 94 that you can get from PetroCan up here, I really notice it. When we go to 'Murica, it runs even better on...

So our 2023 GT will be coming on September 10th. I will keep you all posted.

I think dude is banned. He won't respond.

Welp, turns out they found a 2023, slightly different colour but still. We'll see if we get it!

We downsized because a CX-5 GT was approaching, if not more than 50K. That's just too much.

Welp, the financing went through and it'll be coming around September. Anything in particular I should watch out for?

From what I've read, and the experiences with others....no. It's not a thing. Although, some very expensive cars have a built in "break in" period where the car isn't allowed to do certain things until a certain mileage.

FWIW I rent alot of vehicles through work. Alot of travelling. I've had everything from a $100k Velar to a hunk of junk Toyota CH-R. I've had some vehicles that the radar cruise control will literally jam on the brakes and you have to take control to keep from crashing. I've also had some...

So I just put in an order for a 2024 CX-30 GT. $44k taxes included, Canadian. 72mos @5.7%...or 5.6% Not sure, somewhere around there. In my area there are no 2023 CX-30s at all. You HAVE to order. Take it or leave it. But on the plus side, they didn't take a deposit because if you back out...
