Any competent mechanic should be able to do that for you. You can get the gasket/sealant and the new pan (if needed) from the dealership, along with the replacement ATF.

I'd recommend sticking with warranty offered by Mazda only. I believe Toyota Financial Services now handles Mazda's warranty sales, and yes you should be able to buy the warranty online or over the phone via any Mazda dealer in your country. The standard inline-6 is a good motor, it's just a...

Congratulations! Hope you and your family are doing well!

Most people who service their transmissions regularly do it at 30k-50k mi intervals, and they'll typically drop the pan the first time so that they can replace the transmission fluid filter as well, since the filter would have caught any of the metal wear from the initial break-in of the car...

Damn, looks like someone will be getting a great deal on quality coilovers soon lol. I would have loved to snap these up, but after installing springs, I'm actually pretty happy with the ride height now.

Nice! I used to have my plate mounted there too for a while. Had to find a different solution when I was removing the plate to take off the front bumper. The screw that holds the plate holder onto the threaded rod that screws into the frame, stripped off. I decided not to buy another rho-plate...

Exterior-wise, I like almost everything. Rear looks especially good, minus the decision to replace the Mazda emblem. I really like the lower trim treatment on the doors, nice little callback to the original Kodo design of the 1st gen CX-5. I don't like the little "tabs" on the top of the fender...

I figured I might as well submit my official application. 1. The dashcams would be installed on my 2018 Mazda CX-9 Signature, which currently has a Viofo A129 Duo dual camera setup installed. 2. My testing experience is fairly broad, with experience testing car products (maintenance, cosmetic...

The first post in this thread explains that the 2021 models are not affected. There is also a link at the end of the first post to one of the original 2.5T cylinder head cracking threads that points to a post with a copy of the related TSB for this issue. In the TSB, it states that the exhaust...

The term "deductible" is usually associated with warranty or insurance claims. The warranty on a replacement OEM component is usually 1 year/X miles, depending on the component, and is always free. So it stands to reason that the $500 they're asking for probably isn't a deductible or a warranty...

You are most welcome here. Each member here speaks only for themselves - no one here speaks on behalf of the entire community.

At first glance they look pretty good. They're packaged exactly like the NGKs I had used previously, with each plug in it's own box and a cardboard tube around the plug threads.

The point of an online forum like this is to share information and help others. If you have nothing constructive to add to the discussion, don't post.

I'm interested @Redtiger, but I have some questions. I've been thinking about upgrading my dashcam system since the dashcams on my 2018 CX-9 are 7 years old now. Could you provide more information about your product testing program? Is it open to US residents only, or are applicants from other...

I ordered a set on Friday, and they arrived today. There was an Amazon.ca listing for a set of four of these A-Premium plugs for only $26.49 CDN, so I figured I'd risk it (you know, for science 😄). I'll swap them out sometime this week. Hopefully they play nice with the JB4.

Wired AA and ACP can be retrofitted to some older models (2014 and up) by purchasing a kit and updating the firmware. The kit, made available sometime in 2019, includes an upgraded USB hub and wiring to support AA/ACP, and the firmware has to upgraded to version 74.xx.xx or later.

Touchscreen for HVAC and menu navigation would be a potential dealbreaker for me too. The rest of the car would need to be near perfect for me to overlook that.

I'm really tempted to try a set of those plugs. 8.0L/100km would be so nice. But I think it may be a bit risky with the JB4.

All maintenance is up to date? I'm assuming no engine codes or MIL/CELs. Have you checked your engine air filter to see if it may be clogged/obstructed? Is your AWD functioning normally? The rear differential in my CX-9 broke too. When it did, the car felt like it was dragging it's ass while...

Same trim level? Same engine? Same tires?
