It'd be great to have a video of self-replacement of an i E-Loop battery. My last (second) Mazda battery failed after 3 years, whereas the original one lasted 5 years. I'd love to be able to spend only $200 for an AGM than forking over $600 at the dealership. Just last week I replaced my MX5...

In order to fully charge your battery in a timely manner, you must use a battery charger. It is handy to have one at home. If I have time, I'll leave the charger at 2 amps for at least 24 hours. Otherwise, the 10-amp setting should charge the battery fully within a few hours, depending upon the...

Good detective work on finding the potential source of drain>

What happened to them?

Are you referring to the headlight lens or the bulb itself? If it's the lens, is it cracked or destroyed? If it's just the bulb, that very simple. Check with rockauto.com for lots of choices.

Here's an article about some that are out there: https://www.carbibles.com/best-parking-sensors/#:~:text=The%20Best%20Parking%20Sensor%201%201%20Zone%20Tech,8%208%20LESHP%20LED%20Display%20Parking%20Sensor%20

This is the only image I could find.

Ah, so do you remove them after you are out of the neighborhood? My MX5 with custom exhaust pipe (no 90 degree bend like the OEM pipe) and massive Magnaflow muffler is fairly loud but the neighbors don't seem to mind.

That's much better but do you drive around like that?

That's still kindof loud. :oops:

That may indicate that the sensor is not positioned correctly or has loosened. You may be able to adjust its position. It's worth taking a look.

Do you have a mechanic's stethoscope? It can help pinpoint a noise that is difficult to isolate with all the other noise generators in your engine bay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=mechanic%27s+stethoscope&_sacat=0

Yes, but you may also want to look a bit outside your area. Yelp ratings aren't always 100% accurate but they are almost always better than just guessing or trying to find acquaintances who had similar issues that were solved by alignment shops. The nice thing about alignment shops is that any...

My owner's manual states: Of course, this is for a 2014 Mazda 3 2.5 GT with Skyactive engine. I suggest you go by your owner's manual when deciding which oil to use.

We all know that hindsight is 20/20 but I've been through enough issues to know that it is often more economical to take a car to an excellent alignment shop that also does suspension work, to troubleshoot a problem such as this. These guys have done so many fixes for so many customers that...

Either that or they have a frame template to keep the characters spaced evenly. Auto body shops use some method of doing this all the time.

Take a look at the image I've attached. It represents the most to least reliable auto companies selling vehicle in the US. Sadly, American, German, and Korean vehicles are not on the same level as Japanese vehicles, especially those made by the top three companies.
