40,000!!!

[Mike V]

My 07 MS3 will turn 34k when I drive back home Monday.

No major issues at all. I've also been a safe modder, but my next mod might be the CP-E DP. Turbo seems to be holding up great, I am getting Zero smoke out of the exhaust, the only thing I have noticed is that the car is running rich like all mazdaspeed3's so my tailpipe gets the worst of that.

I'm actually still on my stock tires and they are not even close to bald yet!! strang for a tire with such a low tread rating.

I just hit 40K on 8/30/08 and bought it Oct 06. How do you still have your stock tires on the car Alex? My first set went in 24K which my dealer told me was high as they normally got 17-18K out of them.

I seriously have no idea now my stock tires are still good. I had my tires checked and they would still pass inspection at this point. I drive my car hard but I don't have alot of wheel spin. And in heavy rain, I still have great traction. I will be replacing them soon though. I want to try those Sumitomo HTR III's, been hearing some good stuff about those.

wow, 1 quart every 1000 miles, that nuts man. Out of curiousity, how did you break in your car? Did you wait to use synthetic or did you jump right into it?

 

[truredspeed3]

Yeah, the Speed3's dump oil for some reason.

 

[cosmic_spd3]

i just started using synthetic after my second oil change..but even on regular oil..that shouldn't be the case..i'll be watching it from here on..
and as far as the breaking process i didnt start nailing it til after 500miles.

 

[daonly1around]

6K got it in... late march

 

[serialtoon]

I just hit 11,000 on it last week. I bought it on Aug 24th, 2007.

I used regular oil until I went past 10,000 miles and did an oil change every 3k miles after my first oil change at 1,000. Now I use synthetic and change my oil every 5k miles. Me and some friends have done the same process of oil changes and waiting to use synthetic and it seems like we don't have issues. The couple people I have talked to with bad smoking and oil burning problems seem to have went straight to synthetic on their first oil change.

I have an 07' with only 8k on it

 

[Shiroi_ms3]

I'm at 4800 just had my second oil change, nothing wrong with the car, bought it May 6th.

I love driving this car so I drive it a lot.
