Reviews
Do you have ngk or motorcraft sparkplugs?
Just did mine at 69k. Felt like a small pickup in performance.
Pros: pickup in performance
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 69000 km
Bought a used 2014 CX5 with like 250km on it. Changed the spark plugs the second I bought it. Now THOSE were due.
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 250 km
I’ve had my cx5 since August of 23. Put 48k on it since owning it, bought used at 44k it’s been a dream come true. cx5 just takes regular maintenance like oil changes spark plugs and brakes..and another plus it’s a very sharp looking vehicle inside an out.
Pros: sharp looking vehicle
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 77249 km
Spark plugs, coolant exchange, transmission drain/fill, brake fluid flush, and air filter replacement, stat.
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
I replaced everything with Motorcraft plugs and wires and it has run great since.
Pros: run great since
My RX8 also got pretty piss poor compression numbers. The only time it struggled with a start up was with literally the original 20 years old plugs it came with and I had to do multiple hot starts. It still started and carried on.
Pros: still started and carried
Cons: piss poor compression numbers
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 30000 km
That price at 63.5k miles isn't bad imo. I spent roughly that same amount for my 2017 back in 2019 with around 40k miles (64k km). What's the service history look like? Have spark plugs been replaced, belts checked, engine oil changed at least 10-12 times by now? How are the pads and rotors?

Mileage: 102200 km
switched to the back to the motorcraft spark plugs $15 a piece fixed it for a while
Pros: fixed issue temporarily
Cons: issue returned
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 370148 km
That's better than the Motorcraft plugs I received from Rockauto. They were bouncing around (no longer in their original little boxes) in a large shipping box with 2 sets of brake pads.
Cons: bouncing around in box
