old thread resurrection… just checking my maintenance chart and looks like the rear diff is next up for a fluid drain and fill this weekend. I do every 30k miles… last change was 6/2020

How long do you plan to own the vehicle? Do you currently have an extended warranty? With CPO… correct me if I am wrong… 3 more years and 40k miles?

In regards to @yieldchase post above about broken spring https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10145246-9999.pdf

I remember using 5W-20 in my old ‘96 5.0L Explorer.. I do use factory recommended 5W-30 in my G35x but also use 0W-20 in my GX 460.

That sucks!!!! That is a definitely an outlier on that 2.0L. I don’t recall at the moment anyone reporting that in the last 10 years

Per the spark plug posts a few back… I used this socket https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXJ3X7P/ Incorporates a unique leaf spring retainer system to hold the spark plugs firmly in the socket. Does not slip like magnet grip systems, and does not grip too tightly like o-ring systems.

Do you have a device that plugs into the diagnostic port under the dash? You said you cleared codes so I assumed you had a device or are you just pulling the battery terminal off.

Do you have a code reader? If so, can it read codes outside of generic powertrain/emissions OBD?

This looks to be a hand wash/car detailing type setup and not automated wash. The whole point of the Quick Jack is basically a small vehicle "body" lift anywhere you want one. I've considered getting one since roof of my garage is too low for a standard lift. OP: Carwash company should be...

I hear what you are saying but that simply hasn't been my experience. If anything they dig into the rubber of the puck and still don't cause damage.

I've used these on my G35x and CX-5 and never an issue... seems like similar depth https://www.amazon.com/DEDC-Rubber-Universal-Adapter-Protector/dp/B07X5XJTQY?th=1

These trends aren't unique to Mazda after the last year or so...Just an updated chart.

They do sell pinch weld blocks for those Quick Jacks https://www.quickjack.com/pinch-weld-blocks/ https://www.quickjack.com/car-lifts/

I’d be more interested in CX-70 myself. Literally never use the 3rd row in my GX 460 and have thought about removing it to increase cargo space.
