You want to change your filter that's fine and probably a good thing. But the CEL code will probably tell you why you are losing power. Plenty of people in town have a scan gauge or you can just stop in at Auto Zone, have them give you the code then look it up here.

A white 8 was parking very close to my building this morning so I pulled up to him and let him know about the car clubs. He just got an 07 auto from Carmax. Seemed cool enough, maybe he'll hop on.

yeah that would be a rather wasteful amount of money to change monthly, and you don't have to use "shitty" gas to get contaminates in the filter, thats why the system has a filter. Otherwise you would never have to change it, good luck with that meathod lol
Why on gods earth would you check the oil in this type of situation??

errr the "good luck with that" was about never changing a fuel filter, so your snappy come back that your lucky like that cause you "know" people in the oil industry made no sense
But ultimately it doesn't matter, if someone has an issue I throw in my $.02 cause after 25+ years in the industry there is the off chance I may be right once in a while (sarcasm applied here). Example a clogged fuel filter would restrict the flow of fuel starving the engine and not allowing it to develop power. Now as he admitted to never changing it made sense to atleast check it ok as he had no CEL at that point. See I come from the pre- ECM era and there are younger folks that do not understand the fundamental concepts of how an engine works. So there may be those that would appreciate suggestions that are either free or cheap of things to check and those that maynot. If you do not like my opinion that is fine don't pay it any mind but as you commented off of something I said I repsonded and that can result in whats called "brain storming"
So while I asked a serious question you didn't answer. You were given the chance to enlighten me, do the 8's have a limp mode when the oil level is not up to par?
I could foresee myself owning an 8 or whatever it is Mazda releases and am more the willing to learn cause "ya can" teach an old dog new tricks
