Pulled the 3rd row out of my car and put in a 3/8" plywood floor. Three 14mm headed bolts, one electrical connector and 2 plastic clips that hold down the butt cushion. Pivot those to the driver side. Those were the only thing that was tricky. I made a cardboard template. Max size 53" long...

No the op is 100% correct. I would understand if the 40% right wouldnt go down all the way and match the 60% left but its not symmetrical. I haven't bothered to look in my manual so its my bad but if you apply the same procedure to the right its higher. But on a brighter note, I am now the...

Drain and fill with non Mazda FZ is my plan at 30k. Then dropping the pan and throwing a wix or oem mazda filter at it at 60k. Then repeat. Pretty EZ. Don't forget your PTU and diff. They need love too. And brake fluid and coolant every 5-6 years, mileage don't matter on those.

I know the op has a 14 without CD but this video is cool cuz it shows pretty clearly a crack in the head at 4:29 at noon on that exhaust port. And maybe again later in the video. This is a engine out of a 21 cx-30 with CD. I love this guys channel. He knows engines. But he kinda missed the...

Phase separation, destroying plastics I could go on and on. Ethanol is bad. What is bulls*** is we don't have an equal priced choice. You can find clear on pure-gas.org but it's always a $1 more due to the tax incentives to force this s*** in our tanks. During the Obama administration there...

How do I wash my engine bay? I don't, not with px washers or harsh chemicals. Been a mechanic 40 years and 95% of the time it's not needed. I will do a low pressure rinse to deal with salt or to douche out the radiator from the back side, stuff like that. Then a blow gun. Mostly a damp rag...

Oven cleaner in your engine bay?

2016 CX-9 2.5T: 255,000 miles. Original Turbo, original trans, xfer case, diff and never had a induction (walnut) cleaning. First and only set of plugs at 140k. Ok, full disclosure, my car is actually a 2022 CX-9 with 15,000 but this guy, who lives in IA, is on some "CX9" (yea, no hyphen)...
