V VeraV Member : 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback (red) Nov 15, 2009 #1 I have a 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback. The owner's manual doesn't give me any torque settings whatsoever. It says: take it to the dealer(stealer)ship. Does anyone have the correct torque setting for the wheels? THANK YOU!

S sunrun176 Member : 2008.5 Mazda3 Hatchback Touring AT, Copper Red Mica Nov 20, 2009 #3 From the workshop manual for the 2004-09 models: 1. When installing the wheels and tires, tighten the wheel nuts in a criss-cross pattern to the following tightening torque. Tightening torque 88.2-117.6 Nm {9.00-11.99 kgfm, 65.06-86.73 ftlbf} Click to expand... I can't imagine that specs would've changed that much for the 2010 for torquing the lug nuts.
