    2016~2023 Dealer Service Recommendation: Fuel Injector Service?

    I guess I can just replace my injectors next year as I only have 45,000 miles on them. Any fuel treatment products you recommend over others, I've used Techron and Lucas before but didn't notice anything. Thinking of trying Redline.

    2016~2023 Dealer Service Recommendation: Fuel Injector Service?

    I agree, my car starts fine and only has 45,000 miles. I'm not going to get the fuel induction service. I checked my manual and the window sticker was in there and it says my car comes with the Skyactiv-G engine with DI. Funny how the engine cover doesn't mention it and it only has a Skyactiv...

    2016~2023 Dealer Service Recommendation: Fuel Injector Service?

    It mentioned on the bill fuel induction cleaning recommended due to carbon build up, but now I see that it also says recommended every 24,000 miles or 24 months so my guess is that they didn't actually see carbon build up but just recommend it. It says an induction cleaning will dissolve carbon...

    2016~2023 Dealer Service Recommendation: Fuel Injector Service?

    I tried techron but didn't notice a difference. I saw someone recommended Redline Complete Fuel System cleaner here and I saw it recommended on other sites as well so may give it a try. I read though that the SkyActiv engine has direct fuel injection and that fuel cleaners won;t clean the...

    2016~2023 Dealer Service Recommendation: Fuel Injector Service?

    New plugs at only 40,000 miles? My service place recommended a fuel induction cleaning due to carbon build up-$270 and that includes a fuel injection cleaning. My mileage has dropped quite a bit and the engine feels a little more sluggish but other than that it starts fine. Considering it if it...

    2013 Mazda3 automatic drive belt and tensioner?

    Thanks. I emailed a local shop that people are recommending and they want $155 for the brake system fluid exchange, surprised it was higher than the dealer.

    2013 Mazda3 automatic drive belt and tensioner?

    I brought my 2013 Mazda 3 sedan with automatic tranny and 45,000 miles to a mazda dealer closer to where I now live. Brought it in for an oil change and he came back with recommending a drive belt and belt tensioner for $548, spark plugs for $245, air/fuel intake induction cleaning service for...

    Here are more pics, is this the standard size for a Mazda 3 or is there supposed to be a larger gas pedal attached to this thing...

    2013 Mazda 3 Sedan Automatic-Gas Pedal looks like it's missing?

    Yup, that's it. It almost looks like a pedal should get attached to that piece since it's so small. I had never really looked before so when I saw it it seemed like the pedal had come off at the dealer and they didn't put it back on

    I don't have a camera or smartphone but I did find a pic online that looks like it. When I get home tomorrow night I'll post it

    2013 Mazda 3 Sedan Automatic-Gas Pedal looks like it's missing?

    Hey guys, I was just vacuuming the interior of my 2013 Mazda 3 automatic sedan and I'm looking at the gas pedal and is it supposed to be really small? It almost seems as if it's missing and just the metal stump is there. The brake pedal looks normal. Does anyone have a picture of a stock gas...

    Tire issues

    Yup, I had my YK580s replaced last year with only 10,000 miles on them as they were worn unevenly and dangerous in the rain. The only thing Discount Tire would do for me is switch them out for the same ones, plus I had to shell out over $200. I was pissed. They are OK in the rain so far but I...

    Tire issues

    I went to the Mazda dealer today for an oil change and paid them to re-balance my tires. Now they're worse than before. Thanks Mazda. I wanted to have them do a wheel alignment but they said I would have to wait 3-4 hours for an oil change, tire balancing and wheel alignment so I skipped the...

    I replaced my oems immediately because they were so bad. Of course, after this experience I wish I had waited

    Yeah, at least I have 4 good tires (I hope) for the upcoming rainy season we're expecting in San Diego.

    Tire issues

    So, go into Discount, apparently they don't test drive vehicles so when they called yokohama all they could tell them is the tread wear, which on only 13,000 miles is still OK. Yoko offers 30% off new tires, I get pissed get on the phone with them and they upped it to 50%. I had no choice but to...

    Nah, Discount Tire was doing the rotating, the guy worked at a shop I used for oil changes and service. I will definitely keep the Conti's in mind for my next set, it's them or Michelin
