then again my cars last 250K miles plus
I'd have to keep a car about 33 years to get that many miles on it, so in my case I am pretty sure no matter how often I were to change transmission fluid, I'd not get to 250K mi.

You sent off a sample to the lab for analysis, and they were saying my work is overkill? As far as my statements I am speaking from experience, time in the forums, and friends/mechanics. This thread is helpful but I am not going to perform research to satiate your obvious desire to always be right about everything, we all love a know it all . A question was posted, and many experienced answers and “best guesses” were posted in response which is the nature of informal online forums. If scientific proof is part of your criteria to validate a statement made here, then the burden of proof is on you, as it was your unsolicited response that initiated this little fracas. I am sure the other users on this forum would rather not click through any further pointless posturing, on this site if information is useful you take it, if not you leave it.
Good Day Sir

I see, so you make an unsubstantiated (and technically incorrect) response to a question, and then when someone challenges your statements, you get ticked off and attack.
MazdaZoom = zero credibility

any updates on the new software and have you found out of what glitches the computer to send the engine light on?
Mazda gave me the same story. The engine light appears and I take it in, they say it's the thermostat. But the car rides fine.
They have ordered me the thermostat and it cost 75 for the part and 75 for labor.
Then I read your forum and after you've replaced it the engine light re appears!
If you have any new info to pass on of this problem.
Pls. inform, that would be great

Does anyone know if the factory gear oil used in the 2009 Five Speed Manual Transmissions is Synthetic or Conventional?

Don't know for sure, but my bet is probably not.
