    To TINT or not to TINT?

    yep, exactly, a couple of police officers were murdered last year because they couldn't see into a stopped tinted vehicle at night, they don;t mess around now, anyone with tint in NYC now sticks out like a sore thumb and will get pulled over especially with the new law that state...

    To TINT or not to TINT?

    sorry, but I don't think your car is legal if you have tint over OEM front windows..., NYC requires 70% light transmission which is basically OEM tint, anything over that will reduce it below 70% and would be considered illegal, I see NYPD stopping people left and right now for tint, next...

    2017 Squealing Rear Brakes

    does it sound like this ? the dealer sprays some brake cleaner on it and plays dumb, after they spray brake cleaner, the sound goes away and they tell you they fixed but then of course a day later it comes back, only way I figured out to fix it was do it myself and disassemble the brake pads...

    Do You Love Your Mazda? Ditch That 0W-20 Oil!!!

    ok GJ-Molestor, I'll bite, I do agree this engine is spec'd for 5w30 every else so 0w20 may be linked to the CAFE bull$hit, also I've been using the expensive Mazda moly oil from Med Mazda exclusively every 5000 miles and I do see 1 quart oil missing every time I do oil changes, I have 5...

    Oil for the 2017

    agreed, some may argue it's a waste on money, but I'm going to stick with OEM moly oil that came with the CX-5...... the moly content is off the charts compared to other oils..... I'm up to 40,000 miles with no issues at all, always used Mazda filter and moly oil...
