Mazda's beat em or break em

[inferno94]

So again I was asked to fix my mom's car as the cel was on. I know the oil keeps sludging up in it so an oil change was on order. I took the car out and beat on it for about 15 min came home shut it off then restarted it before the oil change. Surprise no cel!

My mom thinks if she can hear the motor shes hurting it (car has a z5 with atx). She doesn't seem to learn even after failing etests until I took it for a drive before the test she did pass.

I guess (at least with stock cars) you must rev the piss out of a mazda every once in a while or they screw up and try to die on you.

I remember when she had this problem several months back. Glad the same fix works

Sludging? Have you changed the flushed the coolant system and put new coolant in? Or a new thermostat?

Everything in the car is good she just drives 2 blocks to work so no warm up time.

I'm disappointed the problem is still happening.

Maybe I should charge $10 per fix and offer my services to other middle aged mazda owners. My local dealer says lots of people have this problem and they usually flush the oil and install a new egr to fix it (scammers).
