Because you are in breaking in period it is normal to have more than normal blow by gases into the crankcase, thus it is normal to smell a little bit of gas.
How is your oil consumption?
As i said before,
The rear seats,upper and lower with the seatbelt brackets is about 20kg's
rear upper = ~17-18kgs
lower cushion = ~1.5-2kg
seatbelt bracket = ~0.5kg
42-44lbs :)
I don't remember exactly the numbers because it has been 3 years from the day that i put them on the scale.
Because of the difference that we have 2 liquids(oil/water) vs air/oil, this is why the whole world use a different term for each one.(heat exchanger, oil cooler)
Hm,
From a small research that i did, i found that for you guys in USDM you have different Mazda oils and manufactured by different maker than here in EUDM.
Here in EUDM the mazda oils are called Dexelia and produced by Total/Elf.
It's a bit confusing...
The last 2 years i am with Torco...
Because of the nature of the bucket tappets which our car has, it is normal to hear the valves in the first few seconds after a cold start up in the winter especially if you haven't start the engine for over 2 days .
Is there any reason that made you go from Mobil1 to the Dexelia?
