fuken mazda dealership
I went to do a oil change today, and when they were done with it.. they gave me the keys i was driving off.. and than they called me back saying they forgot something on the car.. so i drove back.. they worked with it for a bit.. and me and my gf were infront of the garage.. and then all of a sudden we hear a loud boom we looked inside any my car's engine bay is on fire!!!!

they gave me a yaris as rental

Well apparently they forgot the motor oil cap so when i drove it back.. they put the cap back on.. and they wanted to clean the oil that spewed out.. so they sprayed brake cleaner.. as soon as that happen.. it caught on fire..the manager wasnt present.. so they going to call me tomorrow on whats going to happen and if i have to pay one penny to repair.. i will freak

From the looks of the engine bay all that was damaged was the wires on the left side. The fire just burn up the brake cleaner and the heat melted the wires.

Sigh..... Just thought i share my bad day!!...

Took my cx7 to a Mazda dealership for a oil change. They delivered the car to the Mazda waiting room where I was located. I took the car for a spin back to my house. I noticed a strong oil oder ventilating through the air conditioner vents. Lucky I only drove about 3.5 kilometers after I stopped at the stop light I notice white smoke coming out of the hood of the vehicle. I immediately opened the hood and found oil splashing everywhere all over the engine. I took the CX7 back to the dealer, I was pissed off cursing out every employee present. The mechanic in charge of my oil change did not properly close the oil cap. I noticed that they immediatley started pouring new oil bottles in the engine. I was asking them why were they pouring 10w 30 oil instead of the recommended oil 5w 30 per CX7 manual. They answered back stating the oil that they poured in my engine is the same oil they use for all of the other Mazda models. They also stated since we live in a tropical climate that 10w 30 oil is the recommended one to use. They cleaned my engine with a bio degradable lemon degreaser cleaner and used a water pressure gun to rinse it off. The only part that they could not clean and had to request a replacement order for my vehicle was the rug foam part under the hood. I currently have 90 miles since the incident and no problems have been detected as of now. They apologized for the mistake. Is it true what they said about the 10w 30 oil (warm weather) vs 5w 30 (colder weather)?(stooges) (fu$%ing newbie)
