    Oil change on a leased car - flexible

    Indeed. I don't plan on doing more than an OC anyway unless something comes up. They did hook me up with free dent/ding damage repair.. At least there's that. 😂

    Oil change on a leased car - flexible

    I'll check it out in a little bit. I misspoke earlier, the dealer only verbally told me that I have to get it done by somebody certified. I'm assuming an ase-certified mechanic. He may have told me that to try to gain more money like you had mentioned, however, they did give me three or four...

    Oil change on a leased car - flexible

    I'm not turning it in soon. It's a 3-year lease... That's all Mazda offers. NO I can't do my own maint on it or else I would (1st line in the post), per the contract it must be done by a certified shop or dealer with documentation. Anyway, I was finally able to get a straight answer from Mazda...

    Oil change on a leased car - flexible

    I leased a cx-5 last February (1st time leasing) so having dealerships do maint on my vehicle is something completely new to me as I typically do my own. I set the oil change setting to flexible as I normally do and I'm off. I don't beat on the car at all, just mostly an errand runner. Last...

    Infotainment won't save phone settings.

    Good to know. I didn't know updating was an option. It's showing version 58.00.546

    Infotainment won't save phone settings.

    I have a '18 Cx5 and since day 1 of owning it, I can not get the Bluetooth settings to stay at "phone only" vs "audio only". I miss notifications while driving as I typically use the radio and phone sounds don't come across when using the radio If I set it to phone only, turn off the car and...

    Mazda Insiders Invitation

    Apparently they're sending out a lot of these emails now. The Google shows countless people asking about it. My above post was even quoted in other forums as the morons thinks I'm somehow part of the survey team. I guess it's suspicious to talk about something in a positive light. . These...

    What's the deal with the traffic option?

    Thanks for the info I'm assuming my Mazda doesn't have AA? It's a 2018 Touring + Preferred Package, but I don't see the white smart phone Icon by any of the USB plugs. .

    What's the deal with the traffic option?

    Am I missing something with the Navigation? When I select traffic, I'm only given the option to see historical traffic trends.. That's useless. Does the traffic option only work when something out of the ordinary (crash, construction...) happens?

    why oh why is the 3 so weak....

    Comparing a M3 to a WRX or an Infinity is guaranteed to get your hopes up. I went from a fairly built MSP, decided I wanted to get out of the tuning world (still do), and went to a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV, then just purchased a '15 Mazda3 MT with 4 miles on it. It looks amazing, feels great, has...

    Back in the game. 2015 Mazda3

    Does anyone happen to know if changing my own oil will void my warranty? I wouldn't imagine it would. I'd call the dealership but I know they will just bulls*** me.

    Back in the game. 2015 Mazda3

    I'm back into the Mazda family! I had a MSP a while ago, traded it in for a soccer mom SUV, and now I'm back to Mazda. I picked up a '15 Mazda3 i Grand Touring 5-door with 9 miles on it. I have some question that I'm hoping you all can help me with. I was playing around with the maintenance...
