    Oil change on a leased car - flexible

    Youll get different answers, but I change mine every 7500 Miles (6k is fine too), and I dont care how long it takes me to get there, 1 year, 2 years, all the same to me. Never had a problem, and dont anticipate one either. However, with it being a lease, and if something happens, Im sure theyll...

    Off Topic Investment Thread

    I didn't wanna get into mining and storing coins, so I bought the ETF stock instead, GBTC, and it paid off. In at $10, out at $17. It currently sits at $10ish again, so I may look to reenter at some point. Its way easier than the coins to buy and get rid of, so I probably will if it shows an...

    I bought AMD when it fell to the $16ish area about a year ago. Was a no brainer to me. Its still a great buy at $30 now imo. Nothing showing it cant double that or get to $100 eventually. Great stock with massive growth potential. Tucking it away for 3-5 years.

    If that makes you feel better about it, then I guess that's fair enough.

    2019 GTR First Oil Change Question (metal)

    Normal. A pinch of salt is nothing. Now if you'd said it was an entire shaker of salt, then I'd be alarmed. Sounds like the filter did it's job to me.

    Beware of prepaid maintenance packages

    Why didn't you just take your Mazda to the local honest mechanic who does everything quickly, too? There's nothing different about routine maintenance such as oil changes and filters.

    It's a miracle! Scotty likes the gen2 Mazda CX-5

    LMAO, I needed this laugh this morning. Can't believe people tune into this tool. Scotty couldn't hold my jockstrap and I'm a shade tree mechanic.

    Tire Pressure

    Door sticker says 36lbs on the 19s. Ive found 38-39 lbs to be the sweet spot on the stockers, currently riding on 38.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    No problem, Joe. Glad to help. At the end of the day, $600 is $600. Pays for my insurance. Lol Make sure you get that full tank of gas for the ride home, too. Haha

    Dealer says no transmission dipstick on 2018 CX5

    Im in the camp of I never change mine. But, I also agree with your mechanic friends timeline, in that if one doesnt change it by 80k Miles, I wouldnt change it at all.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Agree, nothing wrong with that. I did something similar. When I finally narrowed it down to two, I ask the higher one if he could beat it, and not only did he say NO, he said, I hate to lose your business, but you should go buy that car, NOW!. I got an incredible deal, honestly, even dealer...

    2017~2025 Mazda Sales.... Not So Good

    You cannot discount the fact that people will always buy Toyota and Honda because they're simply Toyota and Honda. I'm nowhere near brand loyal myself, but if I had to buy a truck today, it'd be a Yota or nothing. I loved Hondas 15-20 years ago, but I wouldn't buy one today at all. I mean I...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Agree. Plus, since they're in the mood to give them away, if they won't budge on price, get them to throw in the rubber cargo mat and rubber floor mats as well, maybe a few other things that interest you, OEM filters and Mazda moly oil are nice to have around, idk, but they pay next to nothing...
