I'm not even sure if she warms up the engine before driving off... i just told her and my dad that it might be a good idea to warm up the engine for a couple of minutes before driving especially if its really cold...
Skyactiv engine are actually a bit noisy/loud when idling... that's normal right?
i think id keep it within 8k km interval for now...Don't think i would want to extend it that long.. Just trying to be on the safe side
If any 0w20 would do then i might just give PPPP 0w20 a shot since its on rollback at Walmart Bellingham... i think its like $22.64 USD for a 5qt bottle and cheaper than castrol 0w20 and mobil 1 0w20
mobil 1 m108 filter or oem mazda filter?
They disabled the OCI warning for my car for some reason, so keep an eye for your mom
They can't give me B$ if I do extended OCI.
As for filters anyone will do, I would suggest fram ultra to my fellow canucks as they go for $9 at CT on sale (every 2 months) which is when I stock up
Actually im not even sure if we ever saw the OCI warning on our mazda 3.. what does it say or show ?
Fram ultra are rated for 16k miles/24k km intervals?
