You are in the Mazda Mazda5 Forum. Your Host is Karens
I still can't find the filter. I took off the panel next to the gas pedal and ran into a dead end. Any other help would be appreciated. I also cannot find anything in the owner's amnual about it.

Hi, presently we are having the following done at the dealership. 1. change oil as per maintenance schedule 2. yearly inspection/checkup of brakes 3. and other maintenance listed in the book.. supposedly we needed to do to satisfy warranty conditions. We find the above can be quite expensive. I can definetely do the above myself (have the necessary tools..skill set) etc.. Is there anyone doing these maintenance themselves? and how do you 'prove' to mazda that you are doing the scheduled maintenance? Do you show receipts? etc..? Thanks. |

Thanks for the info, I'll give it another shot.

Does this make sense? I phoned the dealer to say I wanted the rain sensing wipers adjusted to be more sensitive, but they flatly answered that they can't do it. Aside from turning the sensitivity knob, is the only way to increase the sensitivity by keeping the windshield clean?

Can anyone recommend a decent product that can buff out or at least significantly diminish the appearance of small (about hair thin sized) scratches? I've only had my Mazda5 two weeks and some dork whacked into the rear bumper in a parking lot Friday night

Replying to: zbx (Oct 06, 2007 3:15 pm) BTW, do you find it strange that the recommended oil change interval is 8,000 km (= 5,000 miles) rather than 5,000 km (= 3,000 miles)? My 2002 Honda Accord is on 3,000 mile oil change frequency.

Replying to: zbx (Oct 21, 2007 9:55 am) The 3000 miles/3 month cycle is recommended mostly by garages like Jiffy Lube who simply want the business.
