Fred, It is great that you are having fun while you are driving! I think it is easier to enjoy this car without that computer. It needs to be on the screen that just shows the preset radio stations because everytime I start having some fun with the car (and traffic) the average mpg goes down...

Not quite sure what you meant, but if you are saying that you must be speedier driver because you are only getting 22-23 mpg (or mph). I would say it is because of the only 25% highway. I know I only have had this car for 4 months but from the driving I have done, this car gets much better gas...

Update 2010 3 hatch GT, 2.5L engine (auto). Last two fill ups: 418 miles/ave speed 50, 32 mpg (calculated, computer said 30.0 mpg) Second, 415 miles/ave speed 52, 30.8 mpg (calculated, computer said 30.6 mpg). Computer was more accurate in the most recent fill up. Have two 38 mile trips a...

Looks like I will be using Mazda parts for the next five years! ha....I wonder how strict this really is? I guess the answer is only a phone call away.

Great! I am glad you tried them. Let me know how the change goes and if there are any snafu's.

This is exactly what the Mazda told me when I told them I change my own oil! Good info for people in case they do not keep receipts and logs normally.

Thank you for the infomation on the oil changes. I am comming up to my first change and I was hoping there was another that had gone through the process already. I found this site for Mazda filters but do not know if these filters will fit the 2010 3. The site says it is for the Mazda 6 2.5...

I 100 percent agree with you on the looks. This is a good...no great looking car (in my eyes). I love the older M 3 as well, but this car's looks put me over the edge into buying one. I have been a toyota guy forever and if this car hold's up, I might be a Mazda guy from here on out. I have...

My appologies for not looking.

G, just wondering are you in a 2.0L or a 2.5L engine car. If those numbers are in the bigger engine I am very impressed.

I know this might be early for some, but I was wondering if anybody has attempted to change their own oil and filter in their 2010 mazda 3? I have read the forum for oil changes in the older Mazda 3s but I have heard that Mazda has switched the 2010 to a rotary/screw on oil filter (the easiest...

That is a regulation basketball goal. I just am huge (12 ft tall) and I had Mazda custom build me the gigantic 3GT. :)

My wife would give me too much crap as well. I guess these people keep us in line. Who knows what I would be wearing if I didn't get the critisism.

Thanks for trying...I have looked through there and didn't find anything (or I am just blind) and that is why I tried here.

Lol

Has anybody changed the oil and filter in a new 2010 Mazda 3 2.5L yet? Just curious to see if there are any major changes (I have read that the oil filters are now the screw on type). Seems like the older versions of the 3 or mazdaspeed 3 are a little time consuming and have delicate...

As I get older, and as my hair keeps falling out the "I-don't-give-a-crap-o-meter" gets stuck on high (about my looks). Thanks for the laugh though. I think if I put on socks then I will have to pull my shorts up past my belly button. That would complete the look!

Thank you for info, it is good to know!

No....Very new to this forum and I didn't know they would segregate us. Are we outcasts? Geesh, not everybody is corrupt from IL. lol

Correct, the average read out is what I use. I find the real time (after every 2 seconds) read out, pretty worthless. It is all over the place even when I am using cruise control. I have zeroed-it-out only after my fill ups. My mpg of 34 mpg was write after a fill up. Unfortunetly, I live...
