I think you're correct @theblooms , I missed that requirement in the OP's post.

I have no immediate plans to replace, but if had to today, I would look at CX-30.

New rear shock mounts and shocks as it was all apart anyway. Heard a clunk and rattle after hitting a very minor bump in the road on my way home from work. Mounts: KYB SM5619 $14.83 ea Shocks: Monroe 5607 $35.53 ea Both from Amazon because they were available for next day delivery. 157,700 miles.

@juniorsenior How's the Castrol Transmax working out? Have you noticed any smell at stop lights, etc?

@theblooms Where are you buying your OEM Mazda M5 fluid? Seems like some on-line sources don't have it any more.

I've noticed that as well. I always thought it running self-test diagnostics.

I had to replace the left rear wheel bearing today, old one was getting quite noisy. Pretty challenging getting the 4 bolts out... just a hard area to access while laying on your back. 155k miles

Nice Chaztor! That should be the fix and hopefully the code does not return.

I just used a 5lb hammer around the rotor to break it loose.

Thanks, a nice reminder that it's time to replace cabin and engine air filters!

Is the ATF magnet in the pan or on the drain bolt please?

Thanks for posting Anthony, I was just wondering if pallets would fit! I want to bring some home from work for the fire pit.

Do you guys who have pulled the tranny pan to do the filter think it's worth the trouble? What I mean is, have you found the filter to be in need of replacement? I've been changing my ATF by doing the disconnect hose and pump out method.

I would at least do the belt. I did belt only at 125,000 miles and it had a ton of cracks. Look at the underside where the ridges are.

Replaced original rear brake pads and rotors at 134,400 miles. Replaced brake fluid and bled out all 4 calipers.

Replaced the OEM battery. Put in the Walmart EverStart Maxx group 35. Why you ask? I left the headlights on for 1.5 hours by mistake and the battery was dead when I went to start it. It was daylight and the keys stayed in the ignition, so I didn't get the usual warning sound. I am well...

I got NGK 90083 from Rock. Changed them at 100k miles.

Have you done the serpentine belt yet? I was planning on doing mine at 100k but forgot. It had a lot of cracks by the time I did it at 125k.
