2014 Mazda 3

[Yatta]

Shift shock yan. Normal sa mga AT.

[travajante]

Strangely & fortunately, mine has none of that so far. In older cars, common. This is usually caused by rpm change upon shifting.

Mazda doesn't recommend Shell just because Shell's the only one with good fuel. Mazda recommends Shell because they're OE partners - Shell provides oil for Mazda, as you've probably seen on your conduction license plates.

Yes, Shell's fuel is good, but so are the others. Shell isn't the only multinational in the country, after all. And even the local players also source their fuel overseas. And you'd be surprised that independents are also supplied by Shell, Petron, and other major brands. The only difference is that they give unadditivated fuel, but additives comprise less than 1% of the fuel. RON ratings, sulfur content, benzene content, and distillation temps are the same as what you'd find in a Shell station.

Mazda's manual requires only 91 RON fuel. Anyone who thinks 95 RON will produce more power ought to show their dyno results, because octane that's higher than minimum doesn't make your engine suddenly perform better than its rated specs. Premium fuel has better detergent additives, but that helps more for a cleaner engine in the long run than for outright power.

Trapped moisture/condensation isn't normal nor acceptable. Your lamp isn't totally sealed.

Ask the dealership to allow you to test the reverse on multiple units.....take it from there.

[Yatta]

Unless its one of those sealed beam types (rare nowadays) headlights (including signal lights and brakelights) are weather-sealed where the lens connects with the housing, but not totally. They still have a breather (sometimes 2) at the back (its a small plastic pipe, sometimes with a small hose pointing downward). When the headlight turns on, heat will evaporate any moisture buildup which then evacuates via the upper pipe and at the same time suck in moisture-less air via the lower one. In effect its self-cleaning.

Saw this Pictures just want to share. I'm still waiting for my unit and this is getting longer each day...

just came from the dealer yesterday, and talk to the advisor, with regards to the vibration, i testd 2units, and shift to reverse and i also felt a vibration. the adviser told me its normal and they also use their computer to check to it, and its ok..i used autotranny bfore but i didnt felt those kind of vibration.. is there any mazda3 group that i can join so i can go and meet them. to show also what i told here.. with regards to the headlamp they sent to their factory office the pics includibg d report, and will wait for the reply. the good thing that the adviser told me that i have already reported those case and will check in future if sumthing happen.

Di ka pa ba nakakasali sa group namin sa FB? Search for Mazda 3 Skyactiv Club PH and we're there and will be glad to help you.

Now, regarding sa vibration ng tranny mo, fortunately sa akin, wala. IIRC, 2.0 ang sa iyo, right?

It's no old school sealed beam, true, but neither should it condense badly like poorly done Joey mods. Lenses are totally sealed upfront. Humidity condensation usually evaporates in no time once the inside & lens temps equilibrate. Think glass of ice cold drink where surface temp is colder than the humid air. Excessive build up may either be due to clogged vents or poor seals. The vents have dual purposes: moisture & pressure relief(to keep bulbs & lamps from cracking). I'd still seek the dealership on this if symptoms persist.
Fortunate not having seen that on any of ours.
