    So Who received Free Touchup paint in the mail from MazdaUSA

    That's interesting. I e-mailed Mazda a week ago requesting some free touch-up based on what other forum members have received. They responded a couple of days later stating they don't do that any more, but they would send me a $50 gift certificate to be used at any Mazda authorized...

    Oil Change

    Quickoildrainvalve.com (formerly FumotoValve.com) clearly states on the site that the adapter is required only with the recessed pan in the '08. I purchased the 107n in order to connect a flexible hose to the valve for a cleaner job. Clearance is not an issue in either case, the 107 pertrudes...

    Map Updates for Nav system

    Only the original post from the person with the "D" version, never to be heard from again to date. Maybe it was a crude hoax just to obtain e-mail addresses of us forum folks (LOL).

    Headlight Vertical Adjustment

    For anybobody still looking to adjust their xenon headlights on the CX-9, the headlight adjustment link on this thread does not accurately diagram the CX-9 headlight, it's probably a link to another Mazda, but not the CX-9. I just had to have my right side headlight lens replaced due to some...

    Oil Change

    I, too, purchased a Fumoto valve (with nipple and adapter for the recessed oil pan). I'll be installing it soon with my first oil change as I have only 500 miles on the factory break-in oil. Can't decide whether to do the 5W-20 Mobil 1 at 600 or 1,000 miles. I'm going with the Mobil 1 filter as...

    new found fuel economy :)

    Highly unlikely that the Ford 3.5 is any more efficient than the Mazda produced 3.7. Most all the anecdotal evidence on the forums suggests that it's a wash. If anything, it would appear that the 3.7 might be slightly more efficient as a result of the flatter torque curve vs. the 3.5 litre...

    Map Updates for Nav system

    Thank you very much for the gracious offer. I assume the version you're burning will operate in the same manner as the original disc. You can e-mail me the "D" version at kphilippou1@yahoo.com

    Trailer light wiring

    Actually, this is how the '09 GT will be packageed in North America. Tow prep package is standard, only thing left to purchase and install is the hitch and the harness. However, '09 Sport and Touring models require ordering the entire tow package (i.e. no standard tow prep).

    sway bar

    Interesting opinion to take, given the fact that this cat initiated the discussion regarding sway bars for the CX-9. Definitely an inconsistent position. I'm beginning to see why certain members take his posts with a grain of salt.
