here you go, link for fill plug : http://www.vanhorntruckparts.com/product/1566/Spicer-Magnetic-Drain-Plug-12-NPT/ BUT IMHO, it's safer to just re-apply the sealant VC3, available on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0088YEGXM/ref=biss_dp_t_asn?tag=viglink20787-20 At least you know the...

I think he was thinking along the lines of something unexpected happening, like stripping the plug or losing the plug (which actual happened to me, dropped it by accident and for the life of me couldn't find it, eventually found it under an old rag) Anyway, it's a standard pipe thread 1/2"-14...

Yep, I bought a large (48" x 25") drip pan from the local Wal-mart for $12 it's by the DIY oil change catch container aisle section on the bottom row. It really help with keeping oil spots off my driveway. http://www.walmart.com/ip/ATP-Extra-Large-Oil-Drip-Pan/16778234 I didn't count or...

I swapped oil after 20,000 miles this morning, see link : http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123850332-Royal-Purple-75W140-transfer-case-oil-after-20-000-miles

Hi guys, I swapped out my Royal Purple 75W140 transfer case oil after 20,000 miles this morning (I swapped the transfer case OEM oil at 40,000 miles with Royal Purple 75W140, now 60,000 total miles on the odometer) Great news!! absolutely no signs of sludge whatsoever, here is what the plug...

You'll definitely need to buy the driver side and passenger side internal plastic brackets MAZDA TK2251684A and TK2251694A that houses the OEM foglights that screw to the bumper but they are inexpensive, they run like $12 each. Then you'll have to drill a larger hole for each of those brackets...

35W? most aftermarket HID's run at 35W but owner's manual says OEM foglight is a 55W H11 halogen type bulb : you can get an aftermarket HID bulb into the OEM foglight houseing but you'll need to push the shroud out of the way otherwise you'll crack the HID ceramic tube ...

Just wondering, did Mazda ever make a cargo cover for owners with the power liftgate option?

AWESOME !!! (first) I'm glad you were able to catch it in time and fix it yourself , you saved yourself a whole bunch of money in repair costs (I would guessitimate ~$1500 for new transfer case + labor). The wife must be saying to herself "that's one handy man I married there" LOL **just...

no problem, it's not a constant leak, only after a long drive and the leak is actually coming from the top of the transfer case "barfing" out thru the vent valve on top of the transfer case, it's very hard to see the vent valve, the oil will be a dark gray color and smells horrible, here are...

I think you caught it just in time, and there is still a chance to save it, most likely the oil has broken down and the transfer case gears are not being lubricated properly, I recommend try to suck out as much of the old oil as possible and refill with new oil, it will definitely eliminate the...

yes, I used Royal Purple with the friction modifier mixed in already with no issues (so far I have 20K miles on Royal Purple, I changed my OEM oil at 40K, now I have 60K on the odometer), I bought it off Amazon...

Hi kornholio, I can only offer you some limited knowledge I have on this: 1) I know the OEM 75w140 oil is Motorcraft which is owned by Ford and the color is a clear amber yellow color and is an inferior oil because it breaks down too early way before it's intended lifetime oil designation and...

Welcome to the Mazda CX-9 family James!! That is a fine looking vehicle you have there, it looks brand new for a 2008, the previous owner took really good care of it. Just a friendly caveat since you have an AWD with 89k miles, I would highly recommend checking out the transfer case under...

Hi kornholio, I highly recommend the electric pump over the handheld OTC gun, the very small diameter hose that came with the electric pump is about 1/4" diameter on the sunction side, the outlet tube that goes to the Poland Springs bottle is 3/8" diameter. I did the same thing like...

hi amendew9, I believe it's a simple fix, your AC blower relay failed, just need to swap it out with a new one, very simple hope this helps you out : here you go: http://blog.yagelski.com/2011/10/mazda-cx-9-blower-motor-stays-on-after.html updated and latest Mazda part number L1Y167730 you...

That's AWESOME Rexer66 !! glad you were able to fix it without burning a hole thru your wallet !! very good info to know for anyone with broken TPMS valve stems. And remember: NO MORE METAL VALVE CAPS :) Actually, what was the main reason the stems broke ? was it too much mass from the...

Meteor gray, I have the Meteor gray and love it, definitely shows the CX-9 lines much better, 2013 was when Mazda first introduced the color so it's more unique. Also, it matches the plastic cladding around the wheel wells and bumper much more than the black. I believe before 2013, it was...

sorry, I've never used it before, I just happen to come across it after googling tpms stem repair, was just letting you know your options.

I'm assuming the metal caps you used damaged the threads in either of three ways: 1) most likely, metal cap had too much mass when spinning at highway speeds and stressed the stems until they broke 2) unlikely, but maybe incorrect mismatched threading? but that would have meant you really...
