Last year I grabbed an E3 because it's all they had that fit my mower at the time and I didn't feel like going everywhere to find a plug. The only thing I noticed was my push mower seemed to use less gas. I dunno that I'd chalk it up to the E3 or just being a new plug in general. Other than that...

I had a 2 door 93 sport and a 98 sport. The only issue I ever had with the 93 was the AC went out around 120k and the Rear main oil seal started leaking around 130k, then I traded it with 150k for the 98 which had 76k at the time. I drove the 98 all the way out to 160k. The only thing wrong...

We have a mazda3 that the dealer tossed in a service plan with. I know they use bulk QS 5w20 blend & 5w30 dino there.

Ive run 5w20 & 5w30 in a 3.0 duratech's in a tribute & mazda6, the only difference between the 2 is the motor was quieter with 5w30. Everything else, namely mpg remained the same.

Ive run both the LTX AT & LTX MS on my jeeps over the years. I like both tires and you cant really go wrong with either. The MS's were slightly quieter on road.

not bad at all, I run the MC 5w20 syn blend & MC 820s filter in my mazda6s. Cant beat a sub $20 oil change with quality stuff.

The coils mazda uses on the 6 aren't very strong. It is a fairly common problem for older, high mileage 6's with the coils to start dropping MPG's because the coils aren't outputting like they are supposed to. They've also been known to be the cause of misfire CEL's while at high rpm's.

Winter gas hits stations in mid Sept. and Summer gas hits around end of April/1st of May.

A lot of mazda guys across all platforms tend to use the Redline MT90 in their gear boxes. It's what I run in my mazda 6.

I didnt read every single post, but honestly if you want a resolution and to really get the bad press out about the dealership call your local news stations. They often have departments of reporters specifically tasked with stories such as this.

I used to run 1 year oil changes which equated to 10-12,000 mile OCI's with FL1A filters and Mobil 1 0w40. Jeep was still running like a top at 140,000 when I bought a new car.

First Hummer and now Volvo... Hopefully when the government gets out of GM & Chrysler they don't allow the chinese to buy that stake too. Chinese are taking over the automarket one failing maker at a time.

These are tires I am considering in the fall when I need to replace the current ones on my mazda6.
