here you go, see if this helps you out, note if you do need to replace, the 2008-2009 liftgate garnish were different, they had more chrome than the ones that came after 2010+ see the difference below, I'm positive they are interchangeable, just depends on which one you like better but...

Thanks. Quick long term update for fellow AWD owners, I'm close to 78,000 myself now; still on my original transfer case, woohoo! I'm absolutely 100% positive this is the fix for the infamous CX-9 transfer case problems. I'm going to change TC oil again at 80,000 miles before the really...

Hello jal142, I had the same problem as you, I used the compressed air in a can method and that always got the clogged water out but it would get clogged again within a week. My theory was that the burst of air basically forced the obstruction back into the water and allowed the water to...

thx!! Kornholio, I found this video online that may be helpful for members, they recommend using the white lithium grease also:

Does anyone know the Mazda part number or can recommend a lubricant for door and trunk hinges ? I'm getting squeaks from the hinges. Thanks in advance.

AGREED (shocked) !! nice set-up Fcojav, thanks for sharing.

Wantagh Mazda out in east Long Island, NY right off the Wantagh Parkway.

You're very welcome, glad I can help. I'm close to 70,000 miles now with absolutely no issues with the transfer case, I've been changing the oil at 36K, 60K, 66K miles. I'm 100% positive the problem is due to the lack of OEM oil maintenance and Mazda's mistake for not calling it out in the...

sorry, I don't have for 2008, but these 2012 might still help you out set 1 of 3

Hello Eskimo, Thanks for posting your experience to help fellow members. Yep, it's worse than cleaning the toilet but it's absolutely necessary to keep the transfer case running properly. Excellent plan to redo procedure after another 500 miles, based on your description of thick/sludge OEM...

Honestly, I don't feel any difference, suspension and alignment is still good and tight like the first day of new car. Funny you asked about the alignment and tracking, I just got back from a very long road trip and was testing out the alignment, on highway straightaways I didn't even have to...

Also, forgot to mention, I checked today, there's absolutely no space for an extension bar, only way to get to the transfer plug is to crossover the beam underneath from the rear with a stubby 3/8" drive ratchet. The head of the 3/8" drive can just barely fit ! there is a metal plate on...

66,000 mile transfer case update, all good !! hello guys, As promised to keep fellow AWD CX-9'ers updated on long term reliability of our transfer case oil change procedure, here is update at 66,000 miles. Still all good !! no sludge at all, SUV still runs like brand new, no oil leaks...

Hi obiwan, The transfer case is sitting above the U-pipe upfront, please see pictures in step two of guide below: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123847373-Changing-CX-9-transfer-case-gear-oil-(photos)

sorry, it doesn't look like it's an easy plug and play, the rear connectors/location look different, I'm sure it can be done, but you'll need to modify some wiring: http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-08-Mazda-CX9-GPS-Navigation-CD-Radio-OEM-2007-2008-EUC-/111759721231?hash=item1a0566030f&vxp=mtr...

Hi obiwan, from your post #4 above, you mentioned your vehicle is a 2010 AWD with 92,000 miles (150000 km)? If so, I would check out the AWD transfer case. See "dadsCX9" and "MikeB CX9" posts, link below, both seem to have the same whine issue but it went away soon after they swapped the...

forgot to add: 8) IMHO I found the OEM Bridgestone Duelers totally unacceptable in the rain/snow, I slid at the slightest braking, I swapped them out asap, any potential buyers should account cost for new tires when purchasing.

Whoa, that's very surprising, usually the first symptom is a foul burning oil smell and slow drip leak from the breather valve on top. Did you try reaching the top of the transfer case and see if there was any oil on top? Also did you use the tiny 1/4" diameter round tube of the electric...
