I only rotate my tires when I change from winter to general each year. I figure the winter tires will degrade from age before the tread is gone, and the general are the reviled stock tires. If I have to replace them one season early, no big deal. Odds are I'll buy a new car before my 3rd...

I'd at least take the spare wheel. Rubber tires have a finite life based on time, not just usage, and its been a while since CX-7s were produced.

There are 2 other Discount Tires in the area, one of which doesn't charge sales tax. I may give them a try. I see the other sources, and was prepared to use them as price match. It's (usually) much more convenient to use Discount Tire. The local one is right on my way home, others 20-30...

Discount Tire now lists Radar as a vendor, carries Dimax, but don't list this size. I stopped in this morning and they said they cannot order them. No SKU for that size. WTF. They said they could sell me other tires, I said no thanks.

I updated from 70. something to this as well. I don't notice any difference, good or bad. I did not do the recommended factory reset.

Is that version independent of Mazda model? Unlike OP, I wasn't able to find the download in a minute. Unfortunately it isn't obvious to me how to distinguish a clean and valid file, from zipped malware :(

That Hornet is a nice looking car. Much better looking than most of the Japanese makers I favor.

I went with the Draw-Tite too. It has a second hole to take the slop out of the stinger, and looked slightly better to me.

Is this adjustment available because of doing away with a spare tire?

I assume it is so, after adding new oil, the oil will circulate and reach an equilibrium running condition, so that after it will drain into the pan the same way it normally does after successive uses.

We do not know that. For my 2018 the manual says, and I paraphrase from memory, 5 minutes - (or any amount of time more than that) - after warming up the engine then turning the car off. That could be 5 minutes, or 2 days, after turning the car off.

I want a CX-5 that is PHEV, better Infotainment, higher towing capacity, look as good as CX-90 (I think the CX-60 is the worst looking recent Mazda). I want play/pause function without going into a menu, preferably on the steering wheel. I hope it isn't shorter than the CX-5, and don't want it...

Not so far from what happens in forums to be taken at face value :) Sarcasm works better when you can keep track of personalities, which I am very bad at on my various online forums.

Come on, the title was a reference to getting old for maintaining a car. Other maintenance, aging, times changing seem on topic. In the title post the OP said "Anyone else facing the same age related issues?" That's more general than oil changes. Apologies if you were being facetious, and it...

If you maintain a car, I'd expect you to have more than one of these...

Impressive. If you forget to put the drain plug back in, put the oil filter on, or add the oil - then you know you are done. I just did mine the other day and forgot to move the catch pan out of the way of the passenger front tire before I backed out of the driveway. Spilled about a quart...

Thankyou. I also just found on my phone settings a toggle for "Taskbar Widgets" that was deselected and I've selected hoping it would fix it. Maybe if not the fix, it may be a prerequisite for what you are showing.

That looks a lot better on your wider 2023 screen, than on my 2018. For me, in that view, the map is square and too small a field of view. My full screen is about the size of your map portion. Lots of necessary space is wasted on the music app.
