Search Results for ‘spark plugs’

Hi. I've noticed my 1.6 liter '06's engine shake and rattle more than usual at about 1400 and 2500 RPM. Cold weather will make the shakes more pronounced. The shakes might be less if I turn the engine off for a bit (like popping into a gas station to buy a coffee and come back) and turn it back...

Hey guys, My 2011 mazda 3 sedan 2.5L 6speed is currently at 88k miles. I recently started having 2nd gear grinds (only 2nd gear) more often, and every once in a while. I did some googling and searching in this forum and it seems that its a common issue for the mazda 3. I just want to create my...

My 2016 Mazda 3 is at 71k miles, so I figured I'd replace the spark plugs. When I pulled them out, one looked like this: There was oil on the bottom threads but the top was clean. At first I thought valve cover gasket, but now I'm thinking the piston rings might be shot. The strange thing is...

Hi all, I just passed 105000 kms on my 2012 Mazda 3 Skyactiv so I figured it was time to swap the spark plugs. Everything looked okay until I got to the last spark plug (the plug closet to the drivers side). When I pulled the plug there was some oil on the threads. From what I read it looks...

My baby just hit 50k miles today. 2012 mazda 3, 2.5L s. I put Simota short ram intake, but other than that, I have only changed oil and filter. What should it do for tune-up, and upkeep to get her to 200,000 miles? Lucas fuel injector cleaner? If so, how often? Any oil, or transmission...

As a new owner of a 2012 Mazda3 I Sport Sedan in Crystal Pearl White Mica (purchased used with 6100 miles on the clock), I waded through all the Mazda and Mazda3 Forums (and there are plenty) on the web to find the best one. The one with the best questions, insight and answers. This forum is...
