1) Not sure if I flooded the engine. The temperature was about 1/4 of the way up, but it still started fine. Am I good?

2) Is there any place where I can get 2 pegs to install the front rotor accent? I've checked mazda dealerships and they didn't have any. I do have a crap load of double sided tape though...

3) Is it normal for the car NOT to beep when the fog light is still on when you exit the car? (The car rings a bell if you leave the regular lights on) I can find myself leaving the car with the fog lights on....

4) Im at about 610 miles in. Should I change the oil?

1) If it started fine you didn't flood it. It not being fully warmed up does not always result in it flooding, it is just more likely. If the gauge has began to move you're probably fine.

4) Personal preference really. Some change it real quick in the first thousand or so, and others just use whatever their normal interval is. If my car was new, I'd change it @ 1K, then resume a normal interval.

 

Thought the fog lights only turn on if the headlights are on as well...

 

When i have a brand new car, I generally change the oil at 750-1k miles.

 

question #2 anyone?

 

dont know what 2 pegs you are talking about.. double sided tape or silicon glue works fine..

look in the DIY forums, there is one for putting on accents

you'll know if you flooded the engine because it won't start at all.

 

That's how my fogs turn on.. When the headlights are turned on. I can then switch the fogs on or off. But when my main headlights are turned off, the fogs go with off with the switch at either on or off. Thing is, I've seen some 8's that have their fog lights on with the parked lights on instead, or by themselves.. I'm guessing different wiring?

 

wiring mod.. not stock..

I re-wired mine to the acc, so you can turn it on while your lights are offoff, nice to have as day runners in the early morning, especially with LED lights
