The cabin air filter in older Mazda 3 models is installed on the passenger side. Here is information about cabin air filters: 1. A cabin air filter is a filter installed in the vehicle's air conditioning system that absorbs dust particles, reduces respiratory irritation, minimizes stimulation for allergy sufferers, and protects the air conditioning cooling system; 2. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; 3. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and long-lasting moisture absorption; 4. It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safer driving; 5. It provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety.

Are 215 and 205 Tires Interchangeable?

Based on tire specification parameters, 215 and 205 tires are not interchangeable because each wheel rim width has a specific range of compatible tire widths. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. 215 and 205 tires differ significantly in size and tread pattern, so they cannot be replaced individually. Whether they are interchangeable depends on the wheel rim model. If the rim model supports it, all four tires can be replaced; otherwise, replacement is not possible. 215 tires are larger than 205 tires. Due to their larger size, 215 tires provide greater contact area with the ground during driving, resulting in increased friction and traction. In contrast, 205 tires are smaller, producing less tire noise and reducing fuel consumption to varying degrees. The functions of tires include: protecting vehicle components from severe vibrations and early damage, adapting to high-speed performance and reducing driving noise; supporting the vehicle's total weight, bearing the load, and transmitting forces and moments in other directions; transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the vehicle's power, braking, and off-road performance. Tires are typically composed of three parts: the outer tire, inner tube, and flap. Some tires do not require an inner tube, as they have an inner layer of airtight rubber and require specialized rims. Globally, tire structures are evolving toward tubeless, radial, flat (low aspect ratio), and lightweight designs. The outer tire consists of the carcass, buffer layer (or belt layer), tread, sidewall, and bead. The outer tire cross-section can be divided into several distinct zones: the crown area, shoulder area (tread slope), flex area (sidewall area), reinforcement area, and bead area. Tires are categorized by usage into: passenger tires, summer tires, summer high-performance tires, winter tires, and heavy-duty/light truck tires.

Why is there no abnormal noise when the car is cold but noise occurs when the car is hot?

There are many reasons why there is no abnormal noise when the car is cold but noise occurs when the car is hot. Reasons for abnormal noise when the car is hot: A certain part of the body may be loose, and the frequency matches when the car is hot, or the RPM is either too high or too low, causing abnormal noise. This is a relatively common occurrence and generally not a major issue. There may be looseness or lack of oil in the transmission, such as excessive gear meshing clearance. When the clutch is pressed to cut off the power, the abnormal noise disappears. Other reasons for abnormal noise inside the car: Brake noise is often caused by rust on the brake disc, hard objects in the brake pads, or severe wear of the brake pads. The solution is to stomp on the brakes a few times to see if it alleviates the issue, then inspect the brake discs and pads. Tire noise can occur for various reasons, including driving speed, tire type, tire pressure, and road conditions.
