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.
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.
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.
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.
My 2016 CX5 did this a lot. Dealer even replaced the shifter. Only way to truly eliminate it was this:
Apply foot brake while in Drive or Reverse
Shift into N
Apply parking brake
Release foot brake (to come to rest against parking brake)
Reapply foot brake
Shift into park.
Turn car off.
When...
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.
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.
