First of all, the FD does not have an OBD-II black box that records vehicle info -- not that those work the way you seem to fear.

Secondly, you mean you've only redlined the car once? Why even bother owning it? There is nothing wrong with driving the car within it's operation limits. How do you still have a warranty with Mazda?

It's okay to hear the rev limiter once in awhile for a sec or two,, keeps the carbon cleared out!

Oh, I'm sorry, MAZDA put in your new motor.

If you've got an oil leak, take it back and have them fix it. I don't understand why you are afraid of diagnostic codes. How would an oil leak generate a Code anyway?

EDIT: Where do you live? Maybe you live by a shop that actually knows these cars.
