Do you have the DTC for that check engine light we can go on?

What's the daily high temp where you are? I thought about doing it this weekend, but the weather is shooting back almost to 20 C this week lol (Toronto)

I'm only at 22,000 km on the odo at the moment and plenty of life left on the pads. It's only been one winter so far with it so the rotors are still in pretty good shape (at least visually, and no noticeable vibrations under braking). Will take the Z23 in consideration, but I'm not the biggest...

Thanks! Looks pretty typical after a winter in Canada. Notice any more/less brake dust compared to OEM?

It's been a year and somehow I remembered about this. What are you thoughts with the Z23 kit? I will definitely be looking to "upgrade" the brakes when mine wear down.

Take a look at this by one of the members here named sm1ke. I’m sure if you have specific questions, sm1ke will be of great resource.

Hehe N2O also = laughing gas. For reference to others, I believe it's pure nitrogen (well almost pure [99.9%] N2) that is used in tires.

I'm on the waste of money boat too. I mean, there are stated advantages, most commonly "nitrogen molecules are larger and slower moving than compressed air, so it helps maintain tire pressure for longer". Lets not forget, "air" is 78% nitrogen. The real question comes down to does 15% more...

Slightly related, I've been reading up a bit more on things towing related and I found it quite interesting that the 10-15% is North American. Europeans apparently go by 4-7% tongue weight. My understanding is just two different philosophies. Europe's thinking is you reduce tongue weight, you...

I completely agree with what you are saying, but unfortunately, a TSB is not the same as a recall.

How was that camper? I was looking to do something very similar next camping season. And did your rental come with everything required (ball, mount, weight dist bar, etc)? How much was the rental per night (if you don't mind me asking)?

This would make too much sense, but like most things in life, probably comes down to $ (profit). If it is not an active recall and the car is not showing symptoms listed in a TSB, they have no obligation to fix it.

I've got a 2022 so I'm not part of that TSB either. I just hope existing problems don't creep up on the late 2021+ CX9's in a year or two. The car is almost perfect for my needs/wants and I've always driven cars into the ground (10+ years) with little issues. If the issue comes up a couple...

I believe it's this one https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10203724-0001.pdf There is a lawsuit filed as well: https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2023/mazda-valve-stem-seal-recall-lawsuit.shtml

I think your 2008's recommended oil is SAE 5W-20. Considering you're in SoCal, I don't think you need the thinner (5W-20) oil since your temp. doesn't dip very cold in the winters. 10W-30 in general is recommended for older engines (163k miles is creeping up to the "old" category). BTW, do you...

Finally got around to doing the hitch and wiring. Main Parts: Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2" Receiver Curt #13284 ($357.29 taxes in) Custom 4-Flat Curt #56338 ($76.84 taxes in) Dual-Output Electrical Adapter Curt #57672 ($45.14 taxes in) Easy-Mount Wiring Bracket Curt #58000 ($27.59 taxes in) I'm...

What impact do you have? Pneumatic or battery? I've been looking at maybe picking up the M12 Stubby for general work, but can't justify spending $200+ CAD for using it twice a year for winter/summer tire changes lol.
