Filter was filthy, I am under warranty and milage after trip would have been 6000+ , I am on Mazda's schdule 1 , which calls for change every 5k. I didnt pay for the oil, and I rather have an over maintained car than under maintained, specially when warranty issues come up. Doing UOA's is one...

I got 4 contintinal purecontacts for 260 after rebate and another 50 to balance n install from discount tire + local shop. I personally wouldnt go for used tires, you just dont know what your getting yourself into. Even with good tred, if tires has been sitting in sun its going to harden and be...

A battery is cheaper and easier to deal with than a alternator, the end.

I only recomend two products other than OE ATF, maxlife and redlube red. Never heard of ATP, my logic is if they dont sell it EVERYWHERE dont buy it.

Honda's fluid is sillicate and phosphate free. This is a move lots of manufactures are moving toward.
