Why do you need a new tire? Are your Dimax new? They can be ordered.

The dealership is more expensive, takes more time, and gives less care than doing it myself. It's a hassle all around.

$120 at Costco:

On your diesel :)

Their gallon is bigger than ours.

I know you aren't entirely serious in your tone, but it rankles a little because I really wanted the torquey efficient diesel in 2017 and 2018. By 2019 Mazda was way late, tried to sell it for way too much, and had terrible EPA mileage numbers that were beyond underwhelming. The clincher is...

Over 1000 lbs its supposed to have trailer brakes. Looks like you managed fine.

Ooh, I wasn't very interested in this thread until the part about loading faster. Does it make the Infotainment boot to ready faster, or just faster when switching to navigation? I never use the navigation, but would love for the system to boot faster, or switch between Android Auto and Mazda...

I like your analysis, but I assume the .11% is of the oil mass and is remaining material that was introduced as antifreeze. In other words, .11% of the oil is not oil and came from antifreeze. I'd expect that would be the non-volatile components of antifreeze that remain after the water...

I recall that I've read that the CX-5 has smaller exterior but equal or larger interior than the CX-7. I also like the size of the CX-5. Maybe a couple more inches of cargo space would be welcome, but I don't want a substantially larger car. I'm very interested in seeing how the CX-70 turns...

I should have mentioned that I don't specifically vouch for the information, and may not have read it all. It seemed to give a plausible accounting of the various things that affect credit related to financing a car. I've been out of the credit score fray for a long time. In our house for...

Okay, this is delayed reaction but I'm not looking for a Hybrid to pay for itself. I'm looking for a plug-in hybrid. Ability to drive without needing gas when convenient, but unlimited range when needed. More power with smaller than otherwise gas engine. Better fuel economy. I'd be...

Wait, what? Discount Tire owns Tirerack? Apparently happened last year. I guess they are tired of price matching :)

I've liked them pretty fine too. I'm over 50K miles but use separate Winter tires for like 4 months a year. I did notice the season before last that they had gotten louder and poorer traction in wet. But then last season they seemed fine. And they're back on again as of Sunday.

Why are you advising OP to use the Severe schedule? Because its 10K miles and the previous one was presumably done at 5K? The default interval is 7500 miles.

I find it difficult to believe, and would be very disappointed.

The Acura dealer got me covered half of my transmission replacement that occurred just outside of their extended warranty. I think it was within the mileage, but a few months outside the time or something. So it was $2K instead of $4K, I wasn't happy because it was a Honda, at least back then...

Another way to state that is the dealer likes you better when you give them an extra thousand or two dollars throughout the warranty period.
