What did they give you for the trade it? Someone can get a good deal on that CX-5.

Maybe he is thinking heater core, not AC. I would only chemically flush the heating core if it partially clogged up.

Don't chemical flush your AC! Ever.

I paid $65 for mine at the end of 2018. It is mostly good for looking at the map and to Go Home. Trying to enter destinations on it is 2002 technology.

I will go from twice a year to 3 changes a year, because I do go on short rides a couple times a week. The oil from my 6 month change was so black. I've been waiting for oil to go on sale at Walmart but it doesn't look like the oil I use will be going on sale. Last year it was on sale by July 25th.

I heat the used one for about 2 seconds with a torch and drop it in water to make it softer, then sand on a flat surface with fine sandpaper. If it is flat and I see no marring I put it in the Reuse bag. Most people won't bother to do 5 dollars worth of work to save a quarter but I don't mind...

They are not OEM, but the same size. If I put my original OEM washer in with the 20, you wouldn't be able to pick it out from the group. And that is an incredible mark up in price. The one review by Compelled to Write a Review is me.

I would skip the tasting it :eek:

A couple years ago I bought these Crush Washers. They were only $4.99 for 20 at the time. $8.99 is still a good price and it may be enough for the lifetime of the car. I can recondition them and use them more than once.

Looks like they shot the parts cannon at ferro_sk's car.

That's the color of mine. I love that color, it changes depending on the light.

That is good. He meant that if you top it off, you could be flooding the evap system and ruining it.

That is a lot of issues for 18K miles. On the positive side your engine is in great shape based on the oil analysis report. No fuel or antifreeze in the oil.

I think CD will kick in even at 75mph if you don't need to give it much gas, such as when going down an incline. The car will never try to accelerate or fight a head wind with two cylinders, CD is for almost no load driving.

Throw those books out the window in today's market. He might sell your 2019 CX-9 for almost 40K. Case in point: 2019 Mazda CX-9 - Carvana

I cut open and take apart the Thai filter every time I change the oil. The top and bottom 'piece' is actually a tough glue, maybe it is epoxy, that completely seals the pleats. It is impossible for oil to flow around the filtering media into the top of the pleats. The filtering material works...

Six quarts would put it almost a quarter inch above the fill line mark. I put in 5.45 quarts with filter replacement to get it to the full line. I would use OEM oil filters.

If you are shopping for both models, the dealer will know you have 30,000 dollars to spend on the CX-5 so he knows you can afford the Mazda 6 and might leverage that. I would work on only one model at a time, the one you want the most.

My guess is that the program update has the clutch slip more at low speed, opposed to grabbing tight.

Yes be super careful scraping the surfaces and take a ton of time with surface prep. It is the best chance to get a leak free job. When I was cleaning surfaces for a different project I sharpened popsicle sticks on the grinder, and used them to scrape residue from glued on gaskets. You need a...
