Is there still a recommendation on changing engine oil based on length of time passed. My wife's Civic goes 5-6k before the oil life reading dips below 30%, which is when we change it. This happens about twice per year as she drives about 12k miles. If I start driving her car and only put about 6k miles on it for the year (shorter commute), can I go a full year without changing the oil or should I still do it every 6 months?
Personally I would do it every six months, I would worry about some condensation build up if nothing else.

And sorry I missed it the first time lew.

And on the Mazda I would be worried about the extra pressure on the exhaust causing burnt valves, burnt butterfly valves, burnt pistons. Time will tell though. That's one I wouldn't wanna get in on the ground floor with, let them iron out the kinks on someone else's dime.

The motor heating and cooling will naturally cause condensation, many oil caps are covered with it on engines that are changed more often than that.

Only caveat is that it's a certified used and offers a 7 year/100k mile power train warranty. Not sure what exactly the "powertrain" covers? I'm always leery of warranties and never had any on the cars I've owned.

This is what it says. "7-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty†
Flywheel to freeze plug, thermostat to turbocharger, cylinder block to constant velocity joints, our 7-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty has you covered.

Zero Deductible on Covered Repairs
In the rare event that a covered part needs to be repaired or replaced, your total out-of-pocket cost
will be zero at Mazda Dealers throughout the United States."

that's it's only saving grace, but make sure if it breaks they are giving you a car to drive.

I'll be sure to ask that question. To me, this powertrain warranty sounds like it covers the main components of the engine and what you would be concerned about right? I've heard Mazda has one of the best warranties in the business, which is why we are buying used as opposed to new, as the warranty of a used car is actually better.

†Coverage begins from the original retail sales date
and covers 7 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Looks like you should be good, make sure they give you a loaner though.

Sounds good.

Wife is pretty set on this car as long as everything checks out tomorrow when we drive and see it.

Thanks for your help.

Only other thought is potential loss of resale money if they end up being shit.

I would also ask to look at all the records, warranty issues included, on the vehicle since its service date.

Yes thanks. Good thing there's a sucker born every minute that I could sell a lemon to!

But I hope it's not. Both our cars are 10+ years old right now. We buy and drive. We plan to keep this for a solid 10 years barring it being total shit.

I didn't understand what happened on the 30, 30 then the 31st.


Someone bought it and backed out? It was sold to the dealership?
