Do you have a manual for this car? If not, go download one for free at the mazdausa.com website. Then I would look at the maintainance portion and see when stuff is supposed to be done. Yes, you can stretch some of that stuff for a little while, but you should stay fairly close to it. You don't really say, but if you are the original owner and went 28k miles before you changed the plugs, that's way too long on ANY car. IMO.............if you did them at 28k and are now at 36k, I'd be changing them again already.

i am not the first owner, but have maintenance records on this car. plugs were changed at 24 and then i changed them again at 28...

maybe your tire would have lasted longer if you would keep it at the correct pressure.

Whats your problem dude? I dont really think youve been here for long enough to call people names, so why dont you get back into you auto rx8 you hate so much and go ask honda owners for help since you cant handle it here.

**PS- Im not a backyard mechanic before you use that same insult for the 4th time this thread.
