Where did u get the Spoiler? Price? What is the advantage? What reasons to use Mazda3 16" 15.8lb wheels on M5? Benefits?

Thanks @teetee1 I used Valv MV for PS. Because dealer did the flush, they used Mazda's. For the subsequent drain-fill, are you saying there are better fluids than Mazda's? I got this habit from using dealer Tranny oil as Honda Trannnys are notorious!

Yeah the OE series (Laser) last longer 80-100k. Wonder where RockAuto come up with x4? Is Copper plugs supposed to be changed at 30k? Yes M5 OEM is by NGK.

Do u guys think that I am on the right track with this? Scotty Kilmer recommends changing Sparks to prolong the Starter. I researched and found these: <https://www.thedrive.com/reviews/27526/best-spark-plugs> Copper every 30k Rock Auto says: x2 for Platinum -> 60k x3 for Double Plat -> 90k x4...

Actually get a Revian chassis and put it under!

I think so - I used to enjoy driving - I still do!

Thanks @teetee1 I updated my post - non-driving is due to Pandemic. So expecting it to change.

I have been driving the car once a month just to ensure engine oil does not get moisture - so I drive to shops and back! Is starting the engine and idle is good enough - if so how long should it run? Incidentally, I hear more wear & tear is at idle! With the insurance renewal coming...

Here is a review on Edmunds https://www.edmunds.com/mazda/5/2013/consumer-reviews/ " Simply built to last. I bought my 2013 Mazda5 Sport used in November 2013 with 6K miles on it. I drive 350 miles per day doing a delivery route. I now have 306K miles and had absolutely no problems. I replace...

They have Mercon-V Tranny oil. I might try it out.

Thanks @teetee1

Dealer tells me if PCV fails, it caused OBD II error - but I can not trust him! Do you guys have a master list of all the codes - does it show a code for PCV? I did not see a code for PCV itself. But another m/c said that OBD will give a code say misfire etc. He thinks PCV is pretty much for...

Anyone tried AMS oil for engine & tranny on this car?

I searched and could not find any relevant posts. I flushed my tranny at 85k when I bought it (blackish then) - they did it twice to get the color right. I an wondering when should I do it again - also, drain & fill Vs flush? @alawat82 previously posted saying s/he likes to drain & fill every...

Any body got it done? Here is a video for Gen 1 : <www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv9SH6XjaMw> Better videos? Should it be for pros?

What are you referring to? anti-seize ? I would use it - its the rule of thumb for the industry right? Thanks for the original (long) reply. Scotty Kilmer also says 100k for sparks even if the car runs - because it reduces the load on ignition coil.

What size should be the Spark plug socket? Is it difficult to access - need any special bending arms? Incidentally, when do u guys change the Sparks on Gen 2? Mine has 100k on it - 2013 model.

PepBoys has concentrate from BeckAnley for $13: https://www.pepboys.com/beck-arnley-green-concentrate-premium-antifreeze-coolant/product/1853540 Is Beck/Arnley or Peak is better product? Peak has 50/50 diluted - Mazda wants 55/45 dilution - does it matter?

Autozone has Peak's - is this more reputed than Zerex? <https://www.autozone.com/antifreeze-radiator-additives-and-windshield-wash-fluid/oe-engine-coolant/peak-original-equipment-technology-asian-vehicles-green-antifreeze-and-coolant/720592_668569_0>

I just did the Coolant change for the first time. Used a gallon from a mazda dealer. The reserve tank is low after using the entire 1 gal. Is there a way I can buy a smaller amount? If I ended up buying another then it will be for another 5 yrs or so - storage space is also another issue! Can...
