| 1481034 | 2021-10-11 02:06:00 | Interesting. Everything I've looked at says the red warning light is as a result of a process that was ignored. There's was no prior 'yellow' warning light, and the DPF light didn't come on prior to warn of the need to give it a good run. Will wait for Mazda guy to call back. |

| 1481036 | 2021-10-11 06:24:00 | 30,000k oil change? I wouldn't push it that long... Oil is cheap, engines aren't! oil has come a long way over the years and todays diesels burn diesel better. long service intervals in not uncommon these days. |

| 1481037 | 2021-10-11 20:17:00 | According to Mazda, because the red light is solid and not flashing, I can drive it for short trips but not out of the suburb, until they can look at it next Wednesday and do a DPF regen. Have advised the car dealer and curious to see what they offer - I don't ruin a DPF in 7 days so it was obviously close to full when they sold it to me. |

| 1481038 | 2021-10-11 20:51:00 | Dealer probably knew about it and cleared the code in the computer so you wouldn't see it when you bought it. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1481039 | 2021-10-11 21:26:00 | UPDATE: Dealer called in response to my email. In an hour I had a loan car dropped off and my Mazda taken away by truck to have the DPF issues resolved at their expense. I'm as impressed as I am surprised. Dealer's done the right thing. Maybe they knew, maybe they didn't. We'll never know. |

| 1481040 | 2021-10-12 02:47:00 | Wow, that is impressive, assuming their fix isn't just to take the DPF warning bulb out of the dashboard lol A friend of mine bought a Mazda last year from a dodgy dealer and when taking it back for some minor fixes, almost got into a fistfight. |

| 1481041 | 2021-10-12 05:38:00 | ...also been given details of a place that'll take the DPF out altogether. That's the next job. | allblack (6574) | ||
| 1481042 | 2021-10-12 05:57:00 | Friend of ours ended u in court with Mazda dealer down this way, they hadn't done something which they said they had, it wrecked the engine and needed a full replacement one. But because she was 100km over the recommended oil change she lost her case. | gary67 (56) | ||
