Spark plug OEM FORD or OEM Mazda
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
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
At around 120,000 KM plan for spark plugs. It's easy, especially if you get a 1/4" torque wrench and 14mm 1/4 deep well socket.
Pros: easy to replace
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 120000 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?
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 102200 km
2013 3.5 hitting 170k miles within a few days. Second owner so not sure how it was maintained during it\u2019s life but I\u2019ve done 10k miles so far, needed a waterpump and sparkplugs but it\u2019s pretty normal wear and tear
Pros: pretty normal wear
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 273588 km
These things literally blast out spark plugs ????. Lots of other tricky issues too. I'm know I'm very biased towards GM but I wouldn't mess with this generation at all for a Ford lol.
Cons: spark plugs blast out, tricky issues
Vehicle:
Ford

Vehicle:
