I was bad once and let mine develop a noise, and thats when i did an oil
/filter change myself and it fixes the problem straight away, i think it has
something to do with aerated oil, however im just guessing. You can do an
oil change yourself very easily. its no problem and the mx5 site has a great
step by step process, and allthough it may only cost a little more to have
the oil changed by someone else, sometimes the best satisfaction comes from
changing the oil yourself.
whatever you decide to do,im sure this is the problem.good luck.
