    DIY Engine oil change and Manufacturer Warranty

    How long are people going on oil changes? dealer says 5k, but that seems really short for synthetic. I set my minder to flexible and 7500 miles. Carries me just under a year for a change. I changed the oil for the first time the other day. Oil was black as it normally Is when you change oil...

    Switched to 5W-30 from 0W-20

    Where does it say 5w-30 is ok for USA models? I only see 5w-30 listed in the “except USA, Canada” section.

    Prices for a full brake job? 2018 CX-5

    The manual for my 2019 honda Pilot says to change brake fluid every three years. I live in the US. I cannot see how brake fluid coming out of your calipers could be clear after 20 years. Brake fluid turns brown naturally and gets darker and darker with age.

    Mazda - Made in Mexico Oil Filters are Faulty

    I don’t necessarily disagree with you except when you say suspect quality. Where is the evidence of this? Just because a product is labeled as value or is cheaper, doesn’t make it bad. It very well may be inferior, but it’s hard to see a dealer selling or using filters that will damage your...

    Mazda - Made in Mexico Oil Filters are Faulty

    Just did the first oil change on my 2019 cpo Touring. This is what came off the car. If the dealer is using these I’m going to say these are safe to use. I replaced it with the same model number.

    Mazda - Made in Mexico Oil Filters are Faulty

    It’s considered a value filter so my guess is it’s cost cutting, and they are a little cheaper. But as you suggest, does it matter and why would Mazda engineer aninferior filter to the point it causes damage. i might be wrong, but it looks like these filters may have been around about 10...

    Mazda - Made in Mexico Oil Filters are Faulty

    Interesting discussion. Is there any evidence of failure using the MV filters? Any evidence oil flow is restricted by using them? Tough to see Mazda denying a warranty claim using a filter with their brand name stamped on it and it being a recommended filter For the 2.5l engine. If there...

    Prices for a full brake job? 2018 CX-5

    I don’t think the OPs quote of $860 is that out of line. Parts are going to be about $300 and it will take 3-4 hours to complete. Labor rates are probably around $120-$150. Sure, if you diy you’ll save money because your labor is free, but most people can’t. please tell us who this dealer is...

    OEM Yokohama tires wear out after 35k? Cost effective replacements?

    Hard to see anything in your pic. Looks like a normal tire. Can you circle where you think there is an issue?

    OEM Yokohama tires wear out after 35k? Cost effective replacements?

    Just got back from a 300 mile round trip on my new pirelli scorpion AS3s, with the return trip through the remnants of Nicole with heavy rain and a few down pours nearly the entire way. The tires were outstanding, always felt in control, super smooth and quiet. Can’t say enough about them. No...

    OEM Yokohama tires wear out after 35k? Cost effective replacements?

    I did not. Frankly, I’d prefer not to go to Walmart for service. not that they aren’t capable, just a bit disorganized. Fixing a flat Isnt that expensive anyway.

    OEM Yokohama tires wear out after 35k? Cost effective replacements?

    They are an all season tire so they will be ok in light snow, but if snow were my concern, I’d probably get a more aggressive tire.

    OEM Yokohama tires wear out after 35k? Cost effective replacements?

    Had the pirelliI scorpion AS 3s installed today at Walmart. they did a good job with the install, but it took a while as they only had 1 tech working this morning and, well, he wasn’t the fastest. Have to say, I’m super impressed with these tires even though I barely have any miles on them...

    OEM Yokohama tires wear out after 35k? Cost effective replacements?

    Total price was $538.91, incl. tax. Says install is $17-27, as stated above. I won’t get the road hazard. Scorpion AS plus 3 bought online and scheduled service at the same time. Reading post above, sounds like they may not be in the store yet, but guess I’ll see on Saturday morning.

    OEM Yokohama tires wear out after 35k? Cost effective replacements?

    Wow, that’s a good deal on those tires. I might have to cancel my BFGs and grab these. Wish they also had them in 19s at that price.
