    Who is switching to winter tires and steel wheels?

    General Altimax is a good choice too. You can get them studded if need be. I used to have them in 17”s on my CX5 GT in the winter. Thing was a traction beast.

    I’m back on the wagon again - CX70 S

    OEM Cargo Mat. It’s a 2 piece design that has easy folding to allow access to the under-floor storage compartments. Found it for 20% off with free shipping.

    Husky XACT Contour Floor Mats. I’d give the driver side an A+ and the passenger side a B+ (one gap on the left/inside about half way up). Still waiting on the rear piece after a month.

    Even at 30% off they were still pricey. LOL. But the fit and finish is second to none.

    Yeah, I was leery of it being bright candy apple red. But it’s a nice sophisticated looking color despite the lighting seen for some online pictures.

    I’m back on the wagon again - CX70 S

    I installed the color matched splash guards this weekend. Very easy to do, but I did have to lift the front end up a bit so that my drill could fit for the underneath holes. I bought them from MazdaSwag for about 30% off.

    Oil and change frequency?

    I had a 2005 Mazda6 for about ten years. Fantastic car. Just change the oil every 5,000 miles. Use a high quality oil that matches the recommended weight. And buy regular 87 octane gas. All you’ll do is waste money buying the more expensive grades.

    You’d have to post a picture of what you’re describing color wise.

    I’d just remove the excess with a baster, siphon, etc.

    What grade oil do you prefer?

    I didn’t own it long enough to have the oil tested. But I’ve never been that anal or curious about that level of detail. Some people get really into that stuff though. For each their own.

    What grade oil do you prefer?

    Agree. But it seems like 0W-20 is suggested in the US just to eke out a fractionally larger MPG rating. Most of the rest of the world uses 5W-30. I haven’t had a turbo engine in 20 years. Don’t remember what I used way back then.
