Talking I just bought 07 mazda3 GT ^_^

Again, I just bought an 07 Mazda3 S 2.3L 5door GT on "Galaxy Gray Mica" Looks neat. I traded in my 04 mazda6. I didn't really get a good price on my trade in, but the new car is so superb that I forget all about it. It's on auto transmission, leather and all, again it's GT so I think it comes with everything even the Xenon. But I don't the navigation, since I just bought a nuvi660, so I figured I don't need an extra navigation.

Any advice on what to do with a new car? And I was going to put a K&N air filter, but I was reading on the forum somewhere, saying that the oil might clog up the engine, is that true? Any answer would be really appreciated.

Thanks again,
K

It's true if you over-oil it! People think that more oil=better protection. A light spray is all you need.
Welcome to the forum.

But I read it somewhere in this forum, about the complication about the K&N. Well, what'd K&N benefit you? Is it that much different with regular air filter? oh and another thing, what kind of light bulb would my mazda3 take? I mean I love the Xenon light, but it's not bluish. I'm thinking of replacing it, but I don't know what kind and where to buy. And is it really necessary to take it to the dealership to put it in? Since the manual says so.

Get a MAZDASPEED air intake, much better sound.
