The 7,500 miles is if you drive in ideal circumstances.
 
I agree, but I still don't think it has anything to do with his engine trouble. I don't think you're implying that either, but just to be clear.

Right on both counts. Let us know what happens next and good luck.

I thought the Mazda 3 in order to change oil you just unscrew filter and the drain plug.
          My wife bought a new I value Mazda 3 she has an BMW 5 Series and uses the Mazda for parking at the hospital. She has owned it 3 months and has 986 miles on it. Last year the concrete washed on her 5 Series
 and the Medical Center detailed her and 52 more docs cars. This Mazda is her anti ding car too.
          She goes to dealers on all the cars she owns ,doesn't watch money like me.So does it cost extra for removing the pan to change oil.
                My Type S is twice the Mazda. That Mazda has felt carpeting,and built out of recycle plastic,not to mention when she got home she noticed an ash tray and cigarette lighter with a cigarette painted on lighter lit up. I had to run down to the Subie parts and get a cap that had 12v/120 watts on it for her to plug phone charger in it,. The Matts are velcroed to floor . She thought it was carpet.
                Well thanksfor the heads up.

I know your post is old. I am hoping you still check the boards. I have the same issue and hear from my tire guy that this is a frequent issue with the tires and this "package". Did you come up with a solution?

2008 Mazda3 repairation problem by frankchen009

Hi folks, please help me out of this mess. I bought a 2008 Mazda3 half an year ago and now it has 6000 miles. Last Thur when I started the car, there was a big noise coming from the car and the check engine light and transmission light light up and the car can not operate. Then the next day I towed the car to the mazda dealership and have them check it for me. They rent a car for me and told me it is covered under mazda warranty. But today they told me the problems are caused by that some wires and hoses running around the engine were chewed and broken and the insulation around the wire also come off and some sensors are broken. They think it is caused by animal-chewing and I have to pay everything ($1300 for reparation) including the rent car for the reparation. Nothing will be covered under warranty. I think this is ridiculous and unfair for me. Have you heard this before? What should I do? Thanks for all the advice.

If this is indeed the case, then you make a claim on your regular car insurance for this damage.
 
Rodent damage probably isn't covered under your warranty. You should read the warranty over carefully in your warranty booklet.

I was lucky; a chipmunk hid about a dozen acorns in the airbox of my 318ti, but at least he didn't munch anything expensive. Wasn't there a story a few years back about some European rodent that was wreaking havoc on wiring harnesses in Germany?

shifty beat me to it. File a claim if you have comprehensive coverage. It'll be subject to your deductible, but that's probably less than $1300.
