You are in the Mazda Mazda5 Forum. Your Host is Karens
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: eilros (Oct 24, 2007 2:22 pm) You must drive in some pretty harsh conditions! I change mine every 5-7000 miles. On my Fit there's maintenance computer that identifies when service is needed. The first one was at 9000 miles and that was the only one I've had so far. But if people want to do more that's fine, even if there's really no need for it under normal driving conditions. Funny thing is that while I've never known anyone to have engine problems caused by infrequent oil changes, I have known people having problems with stripped oil plugs and filter threads. My brother had a Subaru with over 250,000 miles on the same engine (car finally rusted out) and he changed the oil about once a year, or about every 15,000 miles. Subaru's have great engines, but I wouldn't recommend that! |
