Mazda parts reviews

I used the ravenol. Zero issues so far.

Bosch 1000%. RainX are great but every pair I\u2019ve had wore out really quickly & Michelin wipers only covered like 70% of my windshield. Go Bosch & never go back.

Bosch Icon is the GOAT, use them on all my cars.

From my personal experience, I used to use Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum oils, which are really high-quality oils. However, I did notice a big difference when I began using the OEM Mazda oil. I don't know what is so different about it, but my engine runs much more smoothly and very quietly. When I am at a stop light, I don't even feel the engine running, it's gotten that quiet, and I just hit over 100k miles.

For the filter, the OEM is good quality and relatively low price. If you go aftermarket, the Wix filter (also sold as NapaGold) is one of the only ones specifically designed to meet the skyactive specs.

NGK spark plugs are preferred in rotary engine (RE) Mazdas and Nippondenso is the only acceptable substitute that I ever found. We dealership technicians, always found it remarkable how a set of Champion or AC spark plugs could instantly cripple a rotary powered Mazda.

Make sure you use a Mazda OEM thermostat. I wouldn’t trust anything but OEM for those.

From my knowledge it doesn't matter what brand you put in. Just make sure its quality oil that's rated for your car and do oil changes regularly. I have used Mazda branded Moly 0W-20, Mobil1 Extended Performance 0W-20 and currently Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20. Honestly I can't tell the difference between them at all.

OCV gasket oil leaks on my 2014 Mazda6 SkyActiv valve cover.

My falken ziex came with my car from the dealership and have 15.5k miles on them. When i checked the tread last week, they were 4/32 in the front and 5/32 in the back. This seems like really excessive wear.
