SO my car has been eating oil pretty quickly, even when im using thicker oil like 10-30 or 10-40. So im at 3,000 miles passed my last oil change and was thinking of things to do to make the car not be this oil hungry. So ive decided to switch out my oil pressure switch with some new thread...

After leaving the dealership with a quote of 750, I am determined to fix this my self. I went to O'reileys and bought an oil cooler kit for $199. Now I have not been able to find anything that shows me exactly where the oil cooler is but i have come to the conclusion that is right above the...

Just wondering if it would be reusable for my build. It is only broken in that one spot and it really doesnt look like it would hurt anything to reuse it but if anyone thinks i should not use it let me know why. I have a good non-msp windage tray from my new motor that i can use but i dont know...

About two weeks after I bought mine, I checked the oil level and it was a half quart low. I topped it off thinking the dealer just missed it. It's been another 5 months and 5000 miles and so far I've put in another half quart. There are no drips on my garage floor so I'm pretty sure it's not...

Looking to buy a Protege5 oil pan, either tapped or not tapped. Im putting the MSP turbo set up on and I would rather not have to swap out the MBSP just for an oil return. PM or reply with offers. Thanks!

So I bought a 2003 and a half speed protege off a friend of mine at the beginning of May this year, the car runs great and has been well maintained but I've been seeing a significant amount of oil burn on cold starts here recently. The turbo has been replaced within the past year so I'm not too...

Hi folks, Yesterday I changed the oil on my 2011 CX-9 GT AWD. I filled 5.5 QT yesterday and this morning I checked the level and found the level was at the min mark on the stick. So I kept filling and checking and ended up filling a bit more than 6 QT, the level is now right at the middle...

*Mods please move if posted into the wrong spot* We tried to fix a slow leak in our 07 CX-7 oil cooler and made it worse (can't drive it now). Can't find anyone in the North East US or really anywhere that has one in stock to overnight to us. All places seem to have about a week lead time...

Anyone know the oil drain plug torque spec for second generation Mazda5's? A/T drain plug too? Thanks. J.

I have a 2010 Mazda3, automatic transmission, with 17k miles on it. Couple weeks ago I had the oil changed and tires rotated, and the tech said that the transmission fluid was dark brown and needs replaced. I have also noticed that the car seems more sluggish and is taking longer to switch...

Alright. In my 03 Mazda Protege5, synthetic has always been used up until the last oil change, where conventional oil was used(due to lack of funds for more expensive oil). I'm about to hit the 3000mile mark(since last change) with conventional(I know it's bad to go over with conventional). I...

...and any other maintenance that you feel you can handle. I just had to share this as I was a bit shocked when I changed my oil today. 5000 miles on full synthetic. The plastic cap seemed a bit tight to me and when I removed the filter, voila, the unit appeared to be crushed. Last oil change...

Sold my 2008 'Speed3 a few weeks ago. I just need to clear out some leftover parts. Cobb SF Intake - 40k miles (***SOLD***): Has a rub mark on the bottom and a little surface rust on the bracket. Comes with the Cobb license plate frame that I never used. OEM Filter Housing - 1k miles (Make...

I would like to change my tranny oil. What's the best oil? Synthetic or reg? How hard is it to do? I can't find easy instructions.. Any good to know tips? All help appreciated, car is ms6 btw :)

Hey Guys, so this is my first oil change on this car, and im having trouble finding the oil filter on the car, i've searched up the location of it but, all it ever brings back is , "above the drain plug and to the side" but i reach up and fiddle around, and cant find it. anyone got any info or...
