Curious, what manual car did you previously have?? Do you believe transaxle fluid need to be replaced?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? I'm sure you are aware all things are a balance (or sacrifice). https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/how-to-best-coilover-or-perhaps-not-for-a-mazda5.123836594/ This topic brough back memories. The concept is the same, regardless if you are discussing...

https://www.kyb.com/catalog/ Look up these car for same/similar year for apples to apples comparison. The difference is from the lower mount bushing size (width). The Mazda trailing arm has a wider box, so Mazda shocks have wider busing to account for the gap. Mz3/MS3 are direct fit (not...

Gas cap broke. FWIW, you can push 'in' and it will catch to tighten/remove, however, the the break causes a vapor leak and gives a nice CEL reminder... OEM cap seem more complex than a cheap MotoRad MGC845 but it does the job.

Their BIW is vastly different but you are concerned with the floorpan, while also different, but since you are looking to brace the structural points of the unibody, I suspect there are some similarities due to the share C-car platform. I cannot say 100% but worth looking into by comparing a...

If you only drive 5K/yr, does MPG really matter? Even with a car that is 2X more fuel efficient, you're only saving a few hundred bucks a year. I'm guessing you mostly do short trips and should be looking at a car's city MPG rating as the top priority, which is best suited for hybrids.

Wow, sounds like a great car! Europe and Asia has various MPVs to choose from where MT paired with low displacement turbo is common but none of that applies to the US, land of the land yacht. I don't think the avg American know/heard of the MPV class. FYI, Mazda 5 is repackaged as Mazda...

No Alcantara, you are slumming it... Leather wheel does make a big difference in your hands. How much did that cost ya? Is there a reason why you went this path vs pulling/ebay a complete OE leather wheel off a comparable Mz3/Mz5 GT or MS3 car? Cheap (b/c reuse airbag) and easy, has better fit...

Support your local mom and pop shops! Most are all honest, esp if they've been around a long time. If you don't mind getting under the car, get a Fumoto valve with the nipple extension + 4-6" scrap trans hose (sold by foot at auto parts store) and drain HOT oil (sediments have not settled and...

Still can't fully understand but found what he is using from another video. It's a custom Canbus decoder created be a fellow Russian, not avail here. You connect to the PJCAN via wifi (EDIT: Bluetooth!) connection to configure it on any browser on any device. This is nicer to have than a...

Check the reviews (and pics) for Canbus RP5-MZ-002 (V2.20.007CYN, Date: 20221229). Technically for 2004-2009 MAZDA 3/ AXELA and 2014 MAZDA/CX-7 but I'm willing to bet it should work exactly the same for Mazda5/Premacy (you might need to change the Android's car Model and CAN Type to experiment...

Thanks for showing your box: MZD-RZ-05; SW: V0106. I wonder how different is it from MZ-SS-06; SW: V1.01..? Note this box has two different dates 20200714 vs 20190710 in the Russian video. If you scroll down, do you see more options? Did you try to set it to "3" (Mazda 3) to see what/if any...

That is a lead acid battery chart. You need to look up AGM battery (it's not any better).

google iamge "normal battery voltage" to get a perspective. You should get a 2nd datapoint to get a trend. If possible, leave it for another 3.5 days and check again to get a better gauge of your parasitic drain.

I am very curious about your Canbus setup, hope you can provide some details. Do you know the model#, version#, and mfg. date of your canbus unit (should be printed on the box)? In my cross-comparison, there appears to be ~5 different version floating around that works with Mazda (they look...

Long story short, need passenger side rear view glass. I am aware of these from the past but they were going for ~$80 pair. I'm opting for direct replacement, $31.68 pair with heat glass. Don't care for turn indicator or BSM (+wiring). IIRC, I believe <'10 cars come prewired up to the...

I think this is it. I don’t have much experience with AGM batteries but my understanding in is that when they are fully deeply depleted, they need slow trickle charge for 24-48 hrs before use. 2weeks + 10 days with only 30-40 min alternator recharge is likely not enough. Also AGM batterie should...

I get it and appreciate the forewarnings. B/c I'm technical minded, I need to understand the reasons behind it and not be swayed by blanket or emotional statements esp since I have no past experience. I do have a handful of tablets from really old and cheap to high end and they all have/had...
