The Dual Action ones are pretty much idiot proof. They tend to take longer to get the results but there is no risk of burning the paint like with a rotary polisher. I've had one for about 10 years now and my biggest problem is not spending long enough on each section of paint. I used to...

Just down from full should be good. Especially if it has run recently as oil will have been pumped up around the inside. You don't want it below the low but over full is also bad.

I'm confused, was it just below the full dot or below the low dot?

I think we need a sticky in this forum on this issue.

typically I'll pull the parking brake on in the garage just out of habit but I don't remember specifically in that instance. After paying attention to the RPMs at start-up it seems it was right within normal range. And it made the loudest noise when I shifted back into park. It really...

I've found white to be the easiest to deal with. I've gone weeks without washing mine and from 10-15 feet back it looks clean. From up closer when it is dirty it just looks like a different shade of white. When I wash it then I can see a difference but white hides dirt, dings and pretty much...

If you don't find the puzzle of chasing down noises yourself to be a fun activity then I'd recommend getting any you hear on the test drive corrected before you sign anything. My noises all popped up later but for any current noises don't take a "we'll get that corrected, just bring it back in...

yeah, I'm hoping and guessing that it will be a one time occurrence but figured I'd toss it out here in case someone else has had similar. I just hit 30,000 miles so at least the powertrain warranty goes longer than 36,000.

no ramp and no jack when doing the oil change. I just slid under it on the level garage floor to get at the filter and started it up in the same spot. It didn't trigger any check engine lights or anything.

Had a weird occurrence yesterday. I'd just changed the oil and filter. About 15 minutes later started it up to go somewhere and it was seeming to idle a bit higher than normal for a cold start (about 75 out) but not much, couldn't have been over 1200-1500. Let it idle for 10 seconds or so...

If it bugs you then it may not get better with time. I don't often notice it as a problem but it does make me hesitate a bit more with quick lane change maneuvers and things like that. Coming from a really old car with great visibility and a little pickup with equally great views for my...

There are various little sections where plastic trim meets plastic or metal where it can buzz or click. I've chased down a few on my car.

about $40 for Mazda oil and Mazda filter and then about 20 minutes of my time. But I use the time when I'd be otherwise laying on the couch watching TV so that time is free :) And it would take longer than that to get to and from the dealer. I use one of those oil extractor pumps that sucks...

Just the standard under-seat vents that point towards the back.

It shows up for me on CD or MP3's on the USB. I haven't checked with it on HD Radio.

It varies depending on the music source. It is only an option for the higher quality sources.

they are getting pretty common around here. I saw two on the freeway within a minute this morning.

I had the leg on the recliner switch happen to me once too. I was changing into hiking boots so I was sitting sideways in the seat. When I was done I noticed the seat back was laying flat and my wife commented that she wondered why I was reclining it like that.

Having spent a bunch and added a fair amount of weight to prior cars doing that I'd hate to see someone going through the work involved in the doors expecting a noticeable improvement in road noise. The other issue is the door speakers don't do any highs and really not much in the mids from...
