Then if the results come back negative, you'll receive a new engine.
Hopefully you have receipts or history of maintenance being performed at the required intervals.

If you think you need a cover story, tell them that the last time it was hot, the engine lacked power and the idle fell below 700rpm.
Those are the conditions mentioned in the tsb for low compression.

Hmmm so i guess ill just post my question on here and see if anyone can help me before i call MNAO tomorrow afternoon.
I bought my car at 75k and have the oil changes and stuff after that point but before that i have nothing, i bought it from North Hollywood Toyota's used car lot and was never informed id need all that if something happened. Will they hold me accountable for the miles before i even owned the car? I mean i obviously have the sales reciept from buying it with the mileage on it from that day and everything.
Idk i figure ill call MNAO tomorrow and explain and see what they have to say about my situation and see if they just laugh at me..

Depends on the dealer. Some are fine with mods, as long as they did not cause something to fail. Some dealers will wriggle out of warranty claims any way they can. One poor soul was denied a new engine because one of his oil change receipts said synthetic oil.

"In regard to your question about the warranty extension on the engine core (see attached letter sent to owners explaining the warranty extension) it is not a requirement to make it effective that you provide maintenance records. Customers can be asked to provide maintenance records to prove that the vehicle maintenance has been done. If you purchased the vehicle used and do not have past records then if asked you would provide any records you do have. The dealership along with Mazda's technical specialists can determine if a vehicle has had the proper maintenance performed.
I hope this answered your question.
Sincerely,
so and so
Customer Assistance Representative"

Just tell them you do your own. I am sure that wont hurt. If your worried about the mods, at least call a dealership and ask their opinion without stating your name and VIN number. If they say its a problem than put everything back to stock before getting the compression test.

Keep you reciepts. I always buy my filters from Mazda and write the milage on there, and I tend to change my oil earlier than I really need to, so my filter reciepts are not that far apart.
