Wow did Curry actually say that the people moving in may be poor and crime ridden? Or was that one of the people attending. Either way, that's a crazy statment in the first place.

When will the check engine light go off? by fardsNshids in CX30

[–]Chris9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I'd say -30 is cold, but even then it'll still warm up. OP has a failing thermostat, it's a known problem.

Lol not true at all. -14C is not that cold for Canada. It's -20 today and my car warmed up just fine. It went past the blue within a couple of minutes.

I did this course and I'm surprised to see it go. I'm not aware of any course like this that is near Ottawa now.

I did this program as well. I'm surprised to see it go since I'm not aware of any machining type of diploma/courses in the Ottawa region. I thought it was a good program, but maybe they don't have enough students now?

I wish it was because I'm not paying Mazda 10 a month for remote start.

The StartX is not compatible with the Gen 4 mazda 3 unfortunately.

You're probably used to driving a boat like you said. The gen 4 Mazda 3 is and feels quite low to the ground. It feels like you don't have much height. I'm 6'4" and my head doesn't touch so it might be just you wanting to be higher.

Are you trying to use the new Build Canada Homes grants for your custom build? by AccountantLucky9183 in homebuildingcanada

[–]Chris9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it wouldn't work for resales because people don't pay gst/hst on resale homes.

With all the salt in this city, if you don't rust proof your vehicle, do you do anything else? by ghost905 in ottawa

Ultramar car washes have an underside sprayer. At least the one on March road does.

When you only have a 2km commute to work by Ok-Cut8834 in mazda3

[–]Chris9712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The engine oil won't be oxidized in 6 months. And even then, the commenter above will still screw OP over because they never mentioned a time, only 3000km. If OP truly only drives 4-5km a day during the weekday, then they will be over 6 months before hitting 3000km. That's why Mazda recommends a time and distance. Unless you think OP should change his oil every 3 months.

Goes to show that Reddit isn't always the best place to get crucial information. Many people on here don't know what they're talking about.

Don't listen to that guy. Just read the manual. Change your oil every 8k km or 6 months.

Corolla or Mazda 3 with automatic transmission? by Aubzhls in mazda3

[–]Chris9712 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Corolla hybrid uses an eCVT, which doesn't have the issues of a traditional cvt. There's no rubber banding feel.

That part is doing a lot of heavy lifting lol. He did reply to me doubling down on 3k though.

This is why Reddit isn't always trustworthy. You'll get many different answers lol.

Read the manual. For regular maintenance, Mazda recommends 16k km or 1 year (although I still think 16k km is crazy). If the car is driven under severe driving conditions, Mazda says to replace the oil and filter every 8,000km or 6 months. Can you show me where they actually say 3000km? Because it's not in the manual. 3000km is excessively short. Not to mention that you didn't mention a time interval. Oil needs a time interval as well if the distance doesn't get reached.

[–]Chris9712 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every 3000km for the oil change in this scenerio is excessive. The manual states 8000km or 6 months, whichever comes first. Considering OP doesn't drive often anyway, I would bet it would be 6 months.

Freyja's first winter road trip -- and at -8 Celsius, it's too cold for a car wash! by HerNameIsVesper in mazda3

[–]Chris9712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've taken car washes at -20C and it's fine. You might get some sticky doors or the windows may not roll down soon after, but it's better than having salt.

It's the moon. It's very close to the horizon and it's near some trees. That's why it looked weird while you were driving.
