Perfect example of ask and you shall receive, LOL.

Time to escalate this with Mazda North America. The idiot service manager needs to go beyond his "documentation and settings" and get a master tech to call Mazda Tech Line. Obviously this is not a setting related issue. It involves a possible short in the wiring harness that sends power to the...

Actually, I've been holding off, hoping somebody else would come up with the answer. I've only seen the set-up in a how-to thread over at the other Mazda 6 (club) forum, not in person. I haven't gotten down there and eyed-it-up, and it's hard to judge just from an image. I don't think the...

8 mm hex, and don't forget a new crush washer.

In the US, federal law states that a 2014 can go go for sale as early as January 1, 2013. To not cause too great a dissonance between model years across all markets, Mazda designated US model mazda 6's as 2014's though in your market they designated them 2013's (possibly due to legal mandate, I...

Just to update my last post, the OP is correct, his tech was able to do a vertical adjustment even though his lenses were loaded with adaptive xenon lamps. The adjustment is done using what I described in the above post in the exact place I described. I was able to print out three pages of...

Just for the record, you can install the rear mudflaps without removing the wheels. I simply jacked up the entire rear end from the rear jacking point and that left plenty of room to work, especially using a ratcheted screwdriver. Also, to be on the safe side, I reset the TPMS button. I got...

This is actually a confusing video. I know my May, 2013 build US version Grand Touring has SCBS because the car has the option of enabling or disabling the feature. I have the feature enabled, but have not come across the circumstances which wiould induce the system. One thing i remember reading...

I was looking for a vertical adjustment on the factory bi-xenon's and noticed a white bolt head with an aluminum washer backing it. This is, of course, behind the headlamp housing. The aluminum washer has little teeth pointing toward the lamp all through its circumference, and the entire...

There are lots of threads on this (even in this forum), but basically you can drain your oil without removing an oil pan plug and buying a new crush washer each time, not to mention a novice do-it-yourselfer cross-threading or over-torqing their drain plug. Also, the nippled version of the...

Upon closer inspection of the oil pan, you might be right about that. The pertruding chin just north of the oil pan plug may be a problem without the adapter, or it may not. I guess there's only one way to know for sure, and that would be a test monkey (so to speak). I recall reading somewhere...

Also makes it easier to spot in a sea of police radar/laser. Nice car, either way. Enjoy.

It's unlinkely your two week old Grand Touring has the $2,000 Tech Package with I-eloop, radar cruise, and apparently the sport button (which I would guess alters the shift points on the 6-speed auto for more aggressive power output). I noticed the button illustrated in the owner's manual with...

Thanks for the response and the image. I assume it's from a '14 "6", and if so, it appears the orientation of the filter is vertical with the ground, in which case the length adapter may actually interfere with the removal of the filter, so I would pass on that. I would go with the F-106N...

New to this particular thread, but not to the forum. Anyway, I picked up a 2014 "6" GT a couple weeks ago, and have been researching oil and filter for this vehicle. I've decided to stick with genuine Mazda 0W-20 GF-5 with Moly (Mazda part# 0000-G5-0W20-MQ) and a genuine Mazda oil filter (Mazda...

Even in staying out of overdrive gears, the greatest risk OP runs under under the conditions described is the failure of the weakest link in the 2007-2013 AWD drivetrain, the transfer case. To make matters worse, transfer case failure in these vehicles significantly increases the risk of...

It's a known Mazda issue. Even after mirror replacements, my CX-9 mirrors continued to shake, particularly the driver's side. Difficult to believe they have yet to resolve such issues.

I got rid of my 2008 this January, but in the 51,000 miles I owned it, the transfer case was replaced twice, the second time along with the entire transmission. The transfer case was new each time, but the transmission was rebuilt. At the time they replaced the transmission, all that was...

I'm hard pressed to believe those exhaust tips are properly aligned. OP should confirm there isn't an issue prior to accepting delivery. Exhaust tips are generally welded on these days. If the muffler/pipe is actually misaligned, the only fix is to replace the parts. Not exactly how I would want...

Vibrating mirror glass is a common Mazda trait. My 2008 CX-9 had the same issue on the driver's side, not so much on the passenger side. Even after fighting for a new mirror and having two wait two months (it was on national back-order), the replacement was no better, and actually worse.
