My CX-30 just got hit by a sizable rock that flew off a pickup hauling hay on the freeway yesterday and it came out unscathed. I was sure I was about to eat a windshield but the glass was surprisingly durable.
Reviews of OEM Mazda parts For Business
Japan
Had an MX-5 with 18k miles but it was 12 years old. Everyone told me “it was fine” but I decided to do a change any how. Once I put it all apart, I could see the original belt had the cams off my 1/2 tooth. My Lordy did it run better with the new belt. Smoothed out the idle which I didn’t even recognize as being bad, and felt like a 4-horsepower gain which is significant in a NA series!
Always buy the Mazda OEM branded thermostat from any local or online Mazda factory parts retailer, this is not the item you want to save a couple bucks on, no matter how much you trust that ‘other’ brand.
For [Naturally-Aspirated Skyactiv engines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyActiv), it is highly recommended that you use Mazda's own(Idemitsu) high molly GF-5 0w-20. [Arguably it is one of the best oil for skyactiv engines]
after 2.5 months, my CX-9 is back from the shop with a new cylinder head!
oem brake pads are ceramic (low noise, low dust, minimal rotor wear, less bite)
I’ve had plenty of visible scratches appear over the 4 years I had my 2019 cx3. And I don’t mean small surface ones only, some were noticeable when touching them with my nail, and I had so many of those that it was actually becoming a problem, towards the end before I recently sold it, because it would cause sun glare and catch me off guard while driving sometimes. Only car I’ve had that had it that bad.
I bought a 23 CX-30 in June and already have two chips in my windshield, both from seemingly small rocks. I do a lot of interstate driving and have driven Ford, Toyota, VW, and Honda previously and none of them seemed to chip as easily. I feel like anything that touches my windshield damages it and it makes me not want to drive. In my old cars, I was often shocked that they didn’t get damaged. I hate seeing the chips and even with repairs, they’re visible.
Unnecessary. A few years ago a Mazda dealership suggested a bunch of work to me when I went in for an oil change, including some stuff I had done on my own literally a week before. I got a survey from Mazda and complained on it that they were suggesting bogus things that I know for a fact did not need to be done (e.g. they claimed my cabin air filter and engine air filter were dirty, despite being brand new).
I had my windshield replaced on my CE ‘21 cx9 and lost my auto sensing rain wiper functions and auto lights functions. I keep trying to get the dealer to fix both but they are unsuccessful in both attempts.
