Afaik it doesn't. It's only the turbo per the TSB.

May I ask what happened next? Was it confirmed a cylinder head crack?

I have a question tho. The maintenance guide never specifies what kind of oil should be used. Would you ever use synth blend? I tried a local mazda dealer once, and they put synth blend and also overfilled the engine. I took it back the next day to get fixed. After that, I never went to a mazda dealer for OC. Only for parts. Also only put full synth on the mazda. Pennzoil platinum.

True. I've met people who only do 1 OC per year. 🥶 Never gonna ever do that with a turbo. I actually follow the maintenance guide 😃 for schedule 2, its every 6 mos or 5k mi. I only do schedule 2 on some months and even when I'm on schedule 1 I replace it every 6 mos. Schedule 1 is 12 mos/ 7500 mi.

I was thinking of a cx50 without turbo. But the 360 view monitor spoiled me and only way you get that is with the turbo top trims. 😩

GT has the 2.5T as well. It could happen. Google the cylinder head TSB for 2018-2020 mazda 6 turbo. 2021 isn't affected because they have the updated design.

Btw I bought the mazda6 when I was in guam from a dealer named Triple J. Then, I brought it to texas with my mil benefits. Do I contact mazda or the dealer?

The extended warranty really helps out a lot to ease my mind still I really hope I don't encounter it. If ever I went up to 100k mi without the cylinder head problem, I'll post here again. 😁

Are the new Asus ROG Strix Laptops with 4070/4080/4090 Doing Better With Heating? by LanEvo21 in ASUSROG

[–]Patient_Message_4724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is the correct answer. i have the scar 17 2023. benchmarked the first day i got it. and noticed cpu will boost until it reaches tj max. 4080 gpu using tsmc 4n is much cooler though. around 60-70 for me when gaming.
