I'm not sure how many people read the warranty booklet, but i just felt like reading it today and this is what it says on pg. 29. I found it very interesting. Dealers are a load of crap.
8. Use of Non-Mazda Parts
Owners may elect to use parts other than Mazda Part in the performance of any maintenance or repairs and such use in and itself will not invalidate warranty.
However, Owners should note the following:
(a) The cost of non-Mazda designated parts will not be covered under this warranty except in emergency cases.
(b)Use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality to Mazda Parts may impair the effectiveness of emission control system. If non-Mazda designated parts are used, the Owner should obtain assurance that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to Mazda Parts in performance and durability.
(C)Mazda assumes no liability under this warranty with respect to non-Mazda designated parts except for damages to non-Mazda designated parts by a Mazda Part.
(d)Use of non-Mazda designated parts resulting in damage to Warranted Parts will invalidate the warranty for these parts.
So if my stock intake filter is dirty, their shouldn't be a problem if i replace with a aftermarket intake right? Same goes for motor mounts. They break and replace with better ones. Wish i would of read this before (car was at the dealer the whole time with booklet in glove box), i would have yelled this whole damn thing at the service manager and at Mazda NAO. Hmm... i think they will be getting a call tomorrow.
