A couple of weeks ago, the orange triangle with exclamation mark in center popped up on the dash. Using the infotainment system display, I found the issue description to be "i-ELOOP System Malfunction". The dealership found that the (slightly more than) 3 year-old battery was near total failure...

Not surprising!

The latest Car & Driver magazine, for the 3rd year in a row proclaimed Mazda as the only manufacturer in the world to make two different models of cars that made C&D's top 10 list for at least 2 years in a row. And while the list is limited to cars, only, it should be noted that virtually every...

I was changing the air filter in my daughter's ES and while holding the airbox lid, suddenly felt a release of lid pressure with my left hand as I was installing the filter. My advice: If your air hose that connects the air box to the intake is the original one, REPLACE IT, ASAP! Until you do...

I have these in my MX5 and not only are they excellent shocks, but they lowered the MX5 by another 1/2-inch (beyond the drop from the Progress springs). I'm not sure if the same drop would happen in a Mazda 3 but I can see myself getting these Konis some day. Lighter wheels are presently at the...

Has anyone gotten that wrench symbol (maintenance required) light to go out? I have reset the oil change interval using the screen menus but that doesn't turn off the wrench light on the dash. The owners manual mentions pressing and holding the trip button while turning on the ignition, but...

Okay, it was the first oil change, so keep that in mind. Here are some of the highlights: 1. When you're rolling with Eibach springs, forget about using your Rhino ramps. I then broke out my custom low profile wooden ramps, just to get the car up high enough to use a floor jack. But wait...

Has anyone seen this? http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?prod=SS-1008 If you change your disposable filter every 6 months at $15 each, it would take you 8 years to start saving money. You still have to clean the filter whenever you change the oil, so I'm not sure if it'd be worth...

I don't know about you guys, but I really need to have information like coolant temperature, voltage, intake air temperature, and ignition timing or air/fuel ratio displayed. Ideally, that would include oil temperature and pressure. The ScanGauge II can display not only 4 of 16 different...

I can't seem to find it, although I looked only in the main booklet. Still, it should be there. I'd guess it's about 4 quarts for the 2.5L engine.

Although my preference was BC Racing coilovers and Swift springs, the $200 Eibach cost, along with a 10% rebate was just too tempting, especially when a Magnaflow catback is on the horizon. Installation and Alignment: BeeLine Alignment shop, which installed Prokits on my 89 MX6 GT and my son's...

That all of the 2014 Mazda 3s in ads look like they were "dropped" about an inch to 1.5 inches? Without a doubt, the 3 looks better when dropped, but really, why does Hyundai, Kia, and even Honda cars have smaller tire-to-fender gaps, right from the factory? Why do we have to spend extra...
