Mazda 3 parts reviews

2014 Mazda 3 with 322,000 kms, it's doing fine. I'm still on original engine, transmission and starter. I use it almost daily in traffic. The only problem is that the battery is slightly more costly than a standard one, which offsets the miniscule fuel savings you're getting from the system

Delphi brakes for rear set usually add another £300 including fitting. Sounds about standard for the area - you'd pay less up north but London's always pricier.

From what I've learned the best oil for the Turbo of any model with direct injection which Mazda uses is Pennzoil Ultra Platinum.

160k kms mazda 3 1.6 owner. Aside from timing belt kit, shocks, tie rods, AC compressor, it’s just the usual spark plugs, filter and oil.

Had my 2010 bought new in 2009 Mazda 3GT valve cover done at 119k miles when Mazda tech noticed leak when changing oil, with points check. $450 with oil change and tire rotation.

Cabin air filters are dirt cheap and easy to swap yourself, but people forget about them and shops love to charge stupid amounts of money to replace them for you.

Common for the thermostat and/or coolant control valve to fail on newer Mazda 3s. It's not a big deal but you might have more coolant loss and it takes longer to warm up.

I went through the same thing, I believe the part number that they gave you is the made in Mexico Mazda value oil filter. It worked on my 2.5 NA. Though in my opinion, the quality of the filter is subpar compared to the OEM made in Thailand filters.

If it is the skyactive-x be aware that the owners manual advises spark plug replacement at 40k miles and the Mazda plugs are \u00a340 each. I put aftermarket Bosch plugs in and it ran very lumpy and had to replace with Mazda ones.

Given that they're charging $95 for a cabin air filter, it's highly likely that they're overpriced.
