Hola Amigos. Looking at a Mazda3 hatchback, they sure do look sharp, but I do have some concerns. I have been reading everything I can on the forums. So I went to test drive one (white on red- Premium FWD- very pretty) and sure enough, it had exhibited a few of the problems that I have read on...

So right now I am looking at the K&N CAI as one of several mods I plan on doing this year, but while researching different CAIs/SRIs, I learned a bit about the oiled filters used on CAIs. Most trouble (getting oil on sensors and causing a CEL) seems to take place after a cleaning and re-oiling...
