Vkool is one of the best if not the best tint out there. Too expensive though.

^^^^ V-Kool has OEM and K series which costs 5-6T only. Still much better than equivalent 3M tints.

Wouldn't put my trust in those OEM versions. I'd rather use solar gard.

OEM is the series name V-Kool uses for their lower end tints, it has better heat rejection than Solargard.
V-Kool tint:
VK series
X series
K series
OEM series

Pila pila na! :P

I normally fill up with Petron Super Extra. Mazda recommends 91-93 RON and power is still adequate. No need to use fuel with higher octane rating even if the engine has a high compression ratio. They actually recommend against using fuel rated above 93 RON.

I have also tried Unioil's 91 RON unleaded Euro4. We got better FC with Petron Super Xtra.

Sir, sabi rin sakin ng Service Agent sa casa avoid daw Petron kasi may ilang issues na naencounter ang iba because of Petron fuels.
Pero mukhang ok naman po sa inyo. Balitaan mo na lang kami dito sa tsikot kung totoo nga ang mga sabi-sabi.

Nakalagay sa manual Mazda 3 hindi na raw kailangan ng break-in,
pero meron pa rin silang recommended driving guidelines for first 1k kms of use.

Ang natatandaan ko lang eh:

1. don't overrev
2. no sudden acceleration and stop
3. don't stay at a particular rpm/speed for prolonged periods of time

Mine is a soul red sedan and I had it installed with V-Kool tint. VK40 for the windshield, K14 wrap around. Didn't have problems with visibility even when driving at night. Privacy is good also if that's a concern.
