I ordered 6 quarts of the Mazda FZ from Amazon for $74 shipped. I'm planning on doing the drain and fill then end of the month when I hit 50K miles. I'll do it at the same time I change my oil, engine and cabin air filters then I should be good to go.

Thanks for sharing, news to me.

I bought an auto-dimming mirror on ebay for $100. Took about 20 minutes or so to put it on. Works great too.

I guess that's why they are called "Stealerships"!

I also bought Conti Tru contact tires from Tirerack. Having them installed at my local tire shop today. Will report on how they are. One of my oem Yokohama's blew out the other day. Wasn't repairable. With 27K on the car they were just under 6/32nds tread left so I decided to bite the bullet and...

I've got the oem Toyo's and have had two patches put in one tire already. To date I'm not really impressed with them. Thanks for the review. I'll probably take a hard look at the Conti's when the time comes. Right now I'm at 26K.

I would first loosen the fill plug rather than the drain plug just in case the drain plug is stuck or you accidently strip it.

Yes there are plenty of them on ebay. it's just a 14MM x 1.5. I figured as long as I'm replacing the factory plug I must just go to the Fumoto type as it looks more convenient.

In my opinion the standard inverted oil drain plug hex is a bad design. If you strip it out then it would be quite a job getting the plug out one last time. As a result, I've been looking at the Fumoto Oil Drain valves. It looks like there are at least three that will fit our cars: F106N -...

Mine is 0% too. Payoff is only what I still owe on it.

Last oil change I put some thread sealant on the drain plug and used my torque wrench to be sure it was tightened correctly. So far no weeping.

So far I agree with Consumer Reports.

Those are nice upgrades. I wish I had the advanced keyless entry on my 2014 1/2 Touring model.

My drain plug will weep oil too. Last oil change I put some pipe thread sealant on the oil plug threads. So far so good. No more oil leak.

The exact same thing happened to my wife twice this week. My sons and I have not been able to duplicate it. The symptoms are she presses the brake pedal and she says it acts as if it does not want to depress all the way. She then pushes the start button. The instrument lights come on but it does...

Actually best way to tell if the battery is good is by a load tester. Unfortunately, I don't have one. Good news is just has to get me 15 miles on Monday to the dealership.

Fully charged around 13.4 volts. After charging it on 15 amp charger for 3-1/2 hours and can't get past 98% charged it reads 13.0 volts. Will take another reading in an hour to see if it's losing more as time goes by. Also have a P0882 code which is TCM control module fault which can be caused...

Tried to start my 2014 CX5 2.5L in the airport parking lot after my plane landed last night and the battery was completely dead. The car had been sitting for 5-1/2 days there. Fortunately, I was able to get a jump but when I started it the ABS, TPMS and traction control lights were on and stayed...

On my last oil change it wanted to weep too. Not enough for it to drip but it still bothers me. I may try putting in a copper washer in between stock silver washer the next oil change. Any opinions on this?

Looks good. I've been considering that radio trim ring too.
