Mazda parts reviews

I have run 0w20 in my 2013 Mazda 3 skyactiv for 244,000 miles. It doesn't burn or leak any oil between changes. I change the oil and filters every 5-6,000 miles.

If it says 5W-30 then the Hella synthetic should be fine. Except you can do all the other checks yourself. If they will use your parts that is ideal, get a Mazda filter and something like Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Castrol or Mobil1 synthetic if you can get that.

I swapped my wife's headlight on her Mazda CX-5 after she hit a deer at <30mph. Surprisingly the damage was just to the headlight and a few small cracks on her bumper. $500 great condition ebay headlight swap and looks like new.

Looked on eBay and front and rear Bendix rotors are $230 delivered for a 2004-2014 Mazda 3.

My RX8 also got pretty piss poor compression numbers. The only time it struggled with a start up was with literally the original 20 years old plugs it came with and I had to do multiple hot starts. It still started and carried on.

I'd consider the KONI STRT if available for the 2012.

I put Bilstein shocks on my 2016. they were a good upgrade in ride quality

For a summer tire for a road car I think the Dunlop ZIII are a good choice. Long in the tooth and not competitive as a track tire anymore but great in the rain and great on the road.

Incan confirm they suck… i have a 2023 mazda and i have gone through two batteries. The second one died on me this week. Both were mazda batteries

Mazdas OEM batteries are horrible. Had the one that came with the car be weak so Mazda replaced it under warranty. Not even 5 months later that new battery dies, tried jumping and it was completely dead and a jump could not start it.
