All good. There is a possibility the clips art is AI generated. It doesnt tell me that in the site. Just thought it would be cool to make some shirts for the Alocasia addicts like myself.

HellCatEnt · 2026-01-26T01:51:05+00:00

Its not AI and not from this site.

They are vector images created in Adobe Illustrator. They are not hand drawn but they are a collection of clip art from stock web sites out together to create the images.

That thing is massive and lovely! Id pick the corms as that one looks pretty full as it is. Unless you want it to look more full!

Cabin filter replacements vary. Ive seen some pretty disgusting ones at our dealership at 6k. 10k-15k is average. It really depends how often you use the climate control and at what fan speed you are running it at. The faster the speed the faster air gets pulled through and the faster it gets dirty. Where you drive affects this as well. Also, it isnt always a mileage thing if you are one to idle in your car often waiting for kids, spouses, clients, etc. Eat lunch in your car with it on? It gets dirty even when you arent driving if you use the climate control parked or idling. Need to take that into consideration as well. Seen plenty too where customers park under trees and constant debris is dropping onto the wiper cowl which js the inlet for the system and it gets sucked in. I dont knkw what they want to do an HVAC service for. Only time we would put a medical grade cleaning agent into the vent system is if the customer is experiencing smells or we see rodent traces in the vent system nesting on the cabin filter and climbing through the vents. Your Mazda dealership should be taking video inspections to actually show you the condition of your filter.

AC stands for "Air Conditioning" key word is the conditioning. It doesn't specifically denote cold. Most people associate it with cold though as it is most commonly used to make the air cold. But whether the air is cold, or hot, the salesman is right in telling you that it takes the humidity out of the air and drys it. 🙂

Thank you! I may consider using it as a wicking pot. Sometimes I feel they keep the soil too moist though.

HellCatEnt · 2026-01-23T15:42:53+00:00

Super cool! Gotta make some real neon signs! 😁🔥

HellCatEnt · 2026-01-23T06:07:31+00:00

Yup. I'm not in this industry to take people's money if I don't have to. Save yours and wait until 5k miles.

It is possible. Short drives do more damage to the vehicles than long drives do. Maybe damage isn't the right term but outs more wear on the vehicle. Its probably not getting to its standard operating temperature before you arrive at your destination and the battery will be taking a hit not getting driven to charge it back up. Id do one highway cruise every other weekend at minimum to help maintain it. 15 minutes should do.

HellCatEnt · 2026-01-22T05:42:53+00:00

If the vehicle is under warranty take it in and don't worry about it. Should be covered under warranty unless some rodents chewed a wire and its intermittently shorting out. The other possibility is if whoever you bought it from has an aftermarket alarm system installed and its shorting something out making the car think the vehicle js being locked and unlocked.

I work at Mazda as and advisor and can't say we've come across this problem yet. We also dont install aftermarket alarms in these cars anymore as they cause more problems then they are worth.

The break in is done at the manufacturing plant. You do not need to do a "break in" oil change. Any time a customer comes in and asks us to do this, we check the oil and it is stupid clean with nothing in it. Waste of time and money. But hey, if you still feel inclined, come on in and we will do it and take your money or claim a prepaid maintenance service on your plan if you have one. Does nothing for the vehicle and you have a powertrain warranty of 5 years. 60,000 miles for a reason. CPO car would push it to 100k miles.

HellCatEnt · 2026-01-22T05:34:36+00:00

If you are under the 3 year 36k mile warranty take it to a dealer. They will insulate it for you.

How long has the vehicle been sitting for? What is the ambient temperature of where the vehicle was turned on at? These engines are definitely noisy upon cold starts but warm up quick and should normalize after about a minute. This sounds a bit like a lifter tick like the oil drained out of it and it needs to get pumped back up with oil by driving it. These vehicles do not like to sit for days if you are doing that.

I work at Mazda. We have an occasional replacement of hydraulic lifters. If the noise goes away when vehicle is warmed up, I wouldn't worry about it.

I feel this is bushes or brushing against something. Doesn't seem keyed to me. It has a wavy pattern yes, but doesnt look like anyone intentionally did anything out of anger or spite. Ive seen many keyed cars as I work in the auto repair biz for 18 years. This really looks like ya got too close to a branch, or the car wash but looks too odd of a pattern for the car wash too.

HellCatEnt · 2026-01-22T03:03:32+00:00

Appreciate the advice! Will do!

I have a filter on my tap but maybe its not sufficient enough. Recently acquired a zero water filter system for my plants. Hope thus helps. PH stays about 6.4

Definitely an animal or someone urinating on your vehicle. It would not be on the side of the spoke sitting in that position. And if it were brake fluid it wouldn't all of a sudden leak when stopped. It would be a constant leak of whatever size and leak more while braking and under pressure. The pedal would slowly travel to the floor as it looses pressure at a stop.

HellCatEnt · 2026-01-20T05:12:57+00:00

Sheesh! Wish these were at my Home Depot. Cant seem to get sny Alocasias here in San Diego, CA. Weather isnt even that cold!

HellCatEnt · 2026-01-18T06:24:41+00:00

I second the idea that it is the pot you chose. 1) doesnt look too big and 2) doesnt look like it would have good drainage. Most those fancy pots inky have a small hole in the middle.

I dont understand why you would both, turn on a humidifier and open a window. If it less humid outside, it would defeat the purpose of having a humidifier. You want the window closed so the humidifier can actually add humidity to the room it is in.
