I don’t use the Mazda-branded version, but Idemitsu is my go-to oil in all of our Mazdas
Mazda parts reviews
I recommend Power Stop ceramic pads and solid rotors. The 6 is an economy car by design. So, there are no practical or worthy trade offs to other types of rotors/material besides aesthetics.Since it's a 16', I highly recommend doing a full brake job even if your mileage is low. If I am correct, the 2016 model has an electronic brake that requires a service mode to be able to do the job(refer to manual since I can't help you on that).
I put Wagner on mine. They have been good for around 35k miles on them so far. I don't see me replacing them for another 15k. I didn't like the OEM one and braking is really one of the weakspoints for the Mazda 6.
I installed the power stop ck8067 and I’m happy with them. I went with the geomet coating to help with corrosion around the bolts and wheel hub; the coating gets worn off behind the pads instantly. Only time will tell how much it helps though.
Get a Gates water pump. Good quality part for a good price.
currently running ebc yellow stuff and dba slotted rotors (cuz street cred bro!). probably going to do the same with blank rotors next time around. no noise, stops great but gets pretty dusty. works perfect for a daily that gets driven hard with the occasional track day
I have a 2015 3, bought the DENSO from Rock Auto, fit perfectly.
Nah I had some crazy high mileage rated pirellis on my mazda and didn't find them to last any longer than other brands 60k tires. Just my experience.
This just happened to me as well. I have a 2017 RF with 35,600 on the odometer and, as of today, the starter is pretty much borked.
the starter failed too.
