Appreciate @hleboklop Doing the 1st time is hard. All YTube videos shows lifting it up. <www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8nvGKDY8H0> The shop goes under the car after its on the (non-working) lift - it works like a ramp. I will consider it - it would help if you can record it when you do it. So...

If I do not jack it up properly, my life is also at risk! I do not have a jack stand - has a 2.5ton jacking m/c - believe that the jack point under the engine is a bit inside and looks different compared to a Honda/Toyota sedan. I was going to change the engine oil and gave up because had...

Ty for the part reference. I believe that when the dealer changed the tranny fluid, he didn't install it. I had a private shop fix it for me, $20 - I never went under this car or jacked it up.

I bought 76732-T0A-003 $8 with tax from Honda dealer and installed it. Its tard (mm) longer but not an issue - it wipes fine. What is the deal Mazda parts are expensive and dealers won't negotiate price. They wanted $18 before tax.

Mazda USA list it for $8 Local dealer wants $18 KR9P-67-333 Rock auto has a hefty shipping fee. Is there an after market part that will fit? How do I go about it? This thread seems to going for Honda 12" insert! Maybe this honda part 76732-T0A-003 $8 from dealer! <winter rear wiper> Also the...

Firestone readily told me that Dealer recommends every 30k! And reminded me of a coupon expiring the same day! I would like to get some better mpg - Integra got totalled so my partner take it to work 6 miles each way!

I noticed that Firestone hangs a bottle of GTX from the hood while the car runs. They call it Fuel System De-Carbonation. Is it worth it? I always use Tier 1 gas. Throttle body was clean from outside and the edges as far as I can see. Has 115k on it.

Thank you - I now recall this is what I did. Big relief! I did not apply di-electric grease to the boot - does it matter - NGk did not supply though? Also I did not pay attention to the grip of the boot - boots were not replaced either. What is the best practice or most common? Some m/cs are...

I checked - it does not specify torque. Still looking for an answer!

What should the torque specs be for the spark plugs - 2013 Mazda5?

My Integras all gave me trouble with FI when they reach about 120k miles. 2013 MZ5 115k miles in excellent condition: I did smell gas after a 500ft drive and when I got off. City mileage is also about 20. So wondering about replacing it - any advice? Any pattern of FI going bad? Also, other...

Dealer wants a lot for Induction service. Any DIY alternative? One I know is using Fuel system cleaner to gas. Find a good fuel system cleaner? Which one? Car has 115k. Just changed the spark plugs to OEM specs.

What is an easy way to do ps fluid change, DIY? I used to do my honda easily. But MZ5 has one on top of another making it difficult to suck it out? Tips for diy'ers?
