    A barrel of oil currently at $125. Should we stock up on motor oil?

    I bought a couple 5 quart bottles in November when oil was on sale. Now with the war and the government banning Russian oil, do you think it is prudent to stock up on motor oil before the prices go up? It's a double whammy, transporting it in trucks will make it go up and the base oil price will...

    Radiator assembly is loose

    I went to remove the cap from the reserve antifreeze container, and I noticed that the radiator assembly is loose. Is that normal? Is it meant to float like this? I made a quick video of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDIo4t2UuXE

    What happened to the wheels and brakes section?

    Wasn't there a Wheels and Brakes section where people talked about wheels and brakes? Anyway, I rotated my tires and my back brakes look to have 25% left on them, and my front brakes look to have 80% left on them. Is this typical?

    Today I went to recycle 5 quarts of used motor oil. I went to Pep Boys, my go to place for years, and to my dismay they said "We no longer accept used motor oil, because people were bringing junk and gasoline in their bottles and we were fined for having the junk and gasoline in our tank". It...

    Rim coating issue

    I aired up my tires today and the rim coating on one tire pealed away in two places. I am unaware of hitting the rim on anything. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there an adhesive that I can use to glue it back on?

Plus, the back up light area is so small it looks like it couldn't put out much light. Has anyone replaced their 2018 CX-5 back up lights...

    Circles/squares on your Mazda are not for towing or pulling onto flatbed

    As per this video, the narrator explains that the 'tow bar' access areas through the bumpers are not to be used. Ever. They were used for securing the cars while transporting them to the USA.
