So my '05 has 67k miles on it. Feels fine to me. I've had it for three months. I've called Mazda, had ownership information transferred to me, and have a letter stating that I still have a warranty for the motor.

My question is, should I worry about using premix? I "believe" it has been making the car feel better, but do I really want it to feel better? I only run a tank of gas through it once every two weeks. So I don't drive alot. I have until next year sometime until the warranty runs out.

Should I just be making friends with my dealer and hoping if something is going to go bad it goes bad before the warranty runs out? Or should I do everything preventative I can and maybe it'll last me to 80 or 100k, which would be a number of years at 6 to 7k miles a year?

thats like saying 'my health insurance runs out at the end of the year ... should I just not take care of my body so that if something happens I can just claim it through insurance'

I would hate to see you neglect care and have the car die on you at 100,001mi

If your that worried just go get a compression test. It's only $100-$200 if you pass.

Why do that to your car? Take care of it and don't abuse it. Don't just wait until your warranty expires on you.
