@tanwm Thank you Bro! 

My right side mirror is acting up. I am gonna try this WD 40 solution. During the warranty period, I had both the left and right mirrors' mechanism changed by EuroKars.

However, warranty period is over.

So far, the most reasonable pricing is $90 to change the motor mechanism for one side mirror. Cheers. 

i paid $200 😞 where did you go for the change?

For the engine oil, has anyone used 5W30 instead of 0W20? Is there any big difference? I read that it would consume more petrol?  I just serviced my Mazda and the workshop changed it to 5W30 and they said it was fine to use that.

Best to use 0w20. One workshop put 5w40 in my car and told that it is ok for hot climate for singapore. My FC dropped by like 20-25% and throttle response was very poor. Then I went to change to 5w20. Throttle response and FC definitely improved but still not as good as the original oil (i didn't know it was using 0w20 initially). When I finally went back to 0w20, i experienced the same from before the first oil change (5w40). I learnt it the hard way that 0w20 is the best mix of responsiveness & FC.

What brand of 0w20 do you use? 

And I wonder for the same grade, does one brand perform better than another.

When I changed with an external shop, it was liquimoly 0w20. Now I'm on mazda original 0w20

Can feel any different between these two brands? At least by seat-of-the-pant kind of feeling.

Feels very similar I'd say. I am leaning more towards liquimoly over original mazda.

If remember correctly, at that time, Standard trim does not have Keyless entry, Auto on/off headlight. head up unit, LED day running light, Bose speaker.

Most people regret getting Standard trim as no keyless entry. Need to take key from pocket just to unlock door as engine start by push button.
