Hi folks, During my oil change this weekend I noticed something that I do not recall from the last change. After warming it up for 3 minutes (from cold), with the engine off, I opened up the oil fill cap before diving under to pull the drain plug and noticed a decent amount of visible vapor...

Hi! new to the forum as of today. Lately, when I pull up to a stoplight, my car vibrates relatively violently. Now, it varies sometimes as the shake will be worse some days and on rare occasions, there is very little to no vibration at all. Normally the shaking isn't bad when I leave in the...

Well delivery day is Saturday and I wanted to check in with the masses and ask about excessive idling. Over the years I have developed an affinity for sitting in nature spots in my car for hours on end, 1-3 hours. Historically in the summer I idle the vehicle during those periods with the A/C...

I started to add this post to an older thread on a similar topic, but then I decided it would be better to start a new thread. Here's my problem.... I have a 2016 Mazda3 with the 2.0 engine and manual tranny. After four months of ownership, I only have 2,100 miles on it, most of it suburban and...

Quick question. So since I have moved my commute pattern has changed drastically and I have gone from ~18k miles annually to ~3000/annually. I decided to consult the owners manual since I won't be hitting the 5k mark anytime soon. Anyways I have pretty much always fallen under the severe...

so lately i've been noticing some excessively loud valvetrain noise, 15k miles on engine, can't point it out to a specific cylinder, but definitely sounds like it is coming from the exhaust cam side of the head, ( 2011 2.5) does anyone else have this issue or know of any recalls or anything...

My 2010 S Sport 6 manual with the 205/50 17" has uneven and excessive tire wear on front tires. Car has just over 2,000 miles. Tires are feathered on inside and outside edges and tread feels uneven when you run your hand across it. Dealer checked alignment, said it met specs and car has soft...
