Bought a Wix cabin and air filter for my Saturn VUE this spring at O'Reilly. I like their quality over the others. Didn't see much difference anywhere online. I don't think my CX-5 is due yet. I'll probably do that for the CX-5 when the time comes. I'll stay with the Mazda oil filter and the...

Just added what was left of the 5 quart jug, about 250cc, and didn't quite get to the max mark. Rather be closer to max than min. Close enough. Apparently the dipstick allows for a little overfill.

First oil change I paid for in at least 35 years. I couldnt figure out where to place the floor jack. I have since bought ramps. Dealer over filled just past the max line, about a third of the distance between min and max. Got that? Disappointed they used a Value Line filter. I used a genuine...

I went to Weathertech factory store today. Got floor liners, cargo mat and coasters.
