So there's a kickdown switch in the Mazda6 skyactiv. How about the M3?

Wow! Didn't see this feature in the user manual. I only found about this from TopGear PH's review on the CX-5 diesel.

I believe the engine mounts are fluid filled. Same with new generation civic.

Engine mounts have been fluid-filled since at least the 90s, at least the OEMs are.

Lighter engines will tend to vibrate more as the additional weight actually aids in damping the engine vibrations.

This is something new. Akala ko 2010 up lang ang start ng mga fluid filled engine supports. Ano ba sir ang mga 90s na auto that has fluid filled engine support?

Ditto. The cars we owned during the 90's (corolla, civic, crv) don't have fluid filled engine mounts/support.

If you’re only talking about a few specks of cement you can mix equal parts of water and white vinegar - spray it on the affected area and cover it with a cleaning cloth to let it soak until it becomes loose. Carefully remove the debris - keeping in mind not the scratch the paint - don’t force it!

If there’s too much cement (or if hard to remove), better let the professionals handle it [emoji846] Remember the dried debris can easily damage the paint.
