New , just got 04
Just got my 04 8 little thing i was wondering
1 what all recalls or warranty can i get done
2 the milky oil . After researching i found its normal?
3 rough idle
4 start seems long and or hard
5cd changer wont load more then one cd
6 i drilled tiny holes for the water in the taillights. Is this the best option? Will yhe foging and water beads go away?
Thanks for the help if there is anything else i should know et me know

Congrats on the car bud.
1. Call Mazda north America and give them your vin they will tell you everything that hqs been done recall wise.
2. condensation in the oil. perfectly normal. will go away with hard driving.
3.Start by checking your coils...do you know when they were changed last. maybe change plugs as well.
4. Might be associated with coils, starter and wires. I'd say you need to get the updated starter.
5.Maybe you have a single disk is what it sounds like.
6.That method works well and yes the holes will get rid of condensation or buy new ones with the upgraded gasket.

I mean you could have the 6 disk and its not reading more than one. But chances are you have a single. The rough idle could be multiple things bud. Coils, spark plugs, wires or bad compression. Motor mounts do deteriorate and the material in them just breaks down. It's one of those things that happens. I went over a railroad track to fast not paying attention and crushed mine. Did you get a compression test done before you bought it?

Stuck in a love triangle
Most likely the only warranty you've got left on your used 04 is the 100,000 mile engine warranty. And the rough idle is most likely the spark plugs and coils. You probably need to replace them.
