Brake pads OEM Nissan or OEM Mazda

I took apart my fronts on my 2016 Mazda at 50k and was surprised that they were still at 50%.

I got Mazda 2 2013 and just had a replacement for both front brake pads and discs - $330 for the parts. $120 for labour.

Im late to this but ill chime in anyways.

Mine is a 2008 AWD GT with every option. Mileage is 130k. And I run on Regular gas.

By todays standards its a gas guzzler, and even thirsty in 2008, but CRVs werent hugely better.

Ive done nothing to it. Still on original brake pads. And recently replaced the rear wheel bearings.

I dont know why im so lucky except that i do oil changes frequently.

One thing about driving older cars is they arent narcing your driving habits to Mazda. Good to know about insurance.

Since it is top line, it has the Bose system which is decent, but i replaced the head so i could get Bluetooth.

I sincerely believe this car has at least 5 years life left in it.

Brake pads and OEM tyres lasted more than 100 000 Km.

My 12 of this generation is at 222k miles with just oil changes and tires as well. One set of pads and rotors at 175k and still had life left.

with only time and not use, it should be okay. think of it like putting new brake pads but with rotors that are still within service spec.

i remember hearing a guy complain about his cx5 eating through brakes, but the cx5 is the same car as my mazda3, and my mazda3 has seen 70,000km for its rear brake pad/ 90,000km for the fronts, and I drive a mix of city/highway.

My cx9 was at 3mm on the rears at 52k. Get a caliper compression kit and it yourself. It's not very hard. I did my rears a month back in my driveway for $130.

Just had a dealer give me an estimate of $560 for new rear pads and rotors. Unfortunately, the idiot was going by mileage and he never actually looked to see that I just replaced the pads and rotors myself 10,000 miles ago. That was on my 2016 Mazda CX 5.

break pads don't last very long
