Do we have a preferred Mazda dealership (vendor) who sells pre-packaged oil change kits? (oil, filter, washer, etc) I saw a post from a while back from Nelson Lewis that said he got his supplies from Med Center Mazda ($44) but in checking their site it looks like the oil change kits are for the 2.5 N/A motor as it's 0w-20 oil.
If I remember correctly, owners manual for the 2.5T recommends 5w-30.
Only ask because I'm kind of a DIY guy and just prefer to change my own oil so I can send the samples off for analysis as opposed to having the dealership do all the maintenance. I used to order from getbmwparts.com and would just do oil changes when I had spare time or my trusty mechanic would do it for me for $20. Either way it was much faster than dealing with the local dealership.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
