2014 Mazda 3

[jp923]

Hello experts! May tanong po ako. Has anyone tried putting Petron instead of Shell in their M3's? Balak ko sana magpetron na lang. XCS ang ikarga. May difference ba yung iba ibang gas ang nilalagay sa makina? My SA just advised me to make sure to put 91 octane.

Ingit ako about all this talks about 18s. Tipid mode muna ako. Next year pa ang rims.

Been using 91 super xtra from Petron from the get go and 3 months in, no prob whatsoever. Even when I fill up from Petron in the outskirts of Luzon

Usually, Service area is off limits, unless they'd allow your appeal to watch. 1PMS is mostly visual checks, tightening, etc. Succeeding ones will get you oil changes among others regardless of how low your odometer reads.
Hope they get your squeak sorted, sir.

Thanks. Yup having my 10k/12mos PMS pero nakaka 2k pa lang ako hehe.

Salamat sir testa. Sana nga totoo sabi nung SA about sa release date. Would be a nice christmas present for myself.

Yung Mazda North EDSA open yung service area.

Saw about 8 new 3's 3 days ago going the opposite direction of Mazda Alabang, Im sure papuntang warehouse ang mga yun.
Anyway I'll be having my PMS this Dec. Was wondering if anybody experiences a squeak in the rear when the car is parked with the parking brake engaged? Going to have it checked out, sana wala lang. And does anybody watch while they perform the maintenance? I'm worried baka wala masyadong gawin or di palitan ng oil if they see na konting Km lang ang tinakbo hehe.

Parking brake? Are you referring to emergency hand brake? If yes, then when does the squeak occur? When someone enters and sits in the car? If it is, its normal, bmws does this too.

both width and sidewall are affected bro. Tire's sidewall depends on the aspect ratio of the tire's width. The wider the tires, the higher the sidewall even if both of them (245 vs 225) have the same aspect ratio of 40%. Thus 245/40/19 (26.7" )has a bigger overall wheel diameter against 225/40/19 (26.1" ).

You have the correct offset (+45) so nothing to worry even if you have a wider (245) tire just make sure that you make it smaller (245/35/19).

Hot Hatch has 245/40/18 (+45), fortunately and confidently he doesn't experience rubbing even if he's dropped (TEIN).

Not sure about the perfect psi for the 245/40/19 but what i have right now is 36psi

Take note also that different tire manufacturers and models have different actual measurements even if they are the same size. 245/40r19 from one brand can be wider or taller than another brand. A simple side by side will comfirm this. By experience good year eagle f1s are wider than dunlop direzzas and yokohama s drives.

Its more important to gas up in stations that is flood free and provide value added service than sticking to particular brands. Afterall these gas players buy and sell gas between themselves.

I make it a habit not to fill up at stations i know go under the water when it rains hard. We dont know if their tanks underneath Are compromised that can contaminate the gas with flooded water or dirt. Numerous times i had no choice to fill up in a not familiar station since im low on gas, some rough idling occured, my mechanic found no problems, and suggested it could be the gas, removed the gas and filled up with my usual station and idling problem gone.

Tried petron, caltex, shell in my mazda, no problems whatsover.

True. Like jeans, it's best to test fit prior to purchase, but this isn't a privilege extended to every tire buyer.
Tire calculators serve as a good start point. Better than shooting in the dark.
It's always best to note, research, compare various brands/types/fitments & consult those who've done similar plans.
In the world of stance, nothing should be taken for granted, every mm counts....esp to those who are anal about tolerances.
Good thing, there are Mown3rs on here like Geo & Hatch who've dug deep into tire search & research for our cars & consumption.

Di mo kailangan uminom ng gamot bro kase lalo lang lalala. Hahaha. Kailangan mo gawin? Wag magbasa dito sa forum. I've heard you already got your relocators na rin. Wala pa man Mz3 mo may sakit ka na. Bwahaha! Basa ka na lang uli sa 346 for your other mod plans. 😂😂😂

Anyone install dashcams? What brand do you guys recommend for our 3 and can it be placed neatly without all the wires?

You will have to tuck it in under the headliner and A-pillar.

Transcend DP220 gamit ko. Tama si Yatta, yun wires ay itatago mo sa headliner at sa A pillar. Kelangan lang ng tiyaga at proper planning kung paano mo padadaanin ang wire papunta sa USB port ng sasakyan o charger port

Any decent and dependable car audio shop can install one for you, best sila kasi sanay sila to dismantle your interiors to hide the wires, and to tap directly to your car's accessory line or battery, depends on your dashcams features kung saan. This way your usb and charging port are not used by your dashcam.

Garmins dashcam i know has an optional separate wire that directly taps to your cars battery since it has the feature to record when your car is parked and someone bumps your car, you might want to look into that, mahal lang. Im sure other brands have this also.

Check cam voltage 1st. Try to wire thru the A-pillar w/o total removal or you might end up needing a replacement part...this tethered clip:
