Or back to manual adjust. Did this to another make w/ a very weak spring+damper tensioner. 1 less item to worry about.
Here's why dampers are added to automatic spring tensioners for long serpentine belts....

Set this off inside the cabin this morning. It now smells like powdery disinfectant. We'll see if the wife agrees with it when she does the shuttle route tomorrow. She does have a handy can of Lysol in one of rhe cupholders so I think it will be fine.

Mazda could've opted for both belts to be StretchFit instead of just the AC drive & free the Skyactivs of that tensioner assembly. Instead, they not only opted for a spring tensioner, but 1 w/ a damper to further bring down drive vibrations....something very common in premiums, even Toyotas.
Spring tensioners, like the dampered ones, are wear items, too. Both will loose tension over time. The former just won't show....won't leak. Personally, I wished they went Stretch belts...save them & us 1 part's cost & maintenance....like Subaru & Ford.

I was able to have my hands on a 14mm deep socket and pull out the sparkplugs to check. Still good after over 4 years though low mileage.
I was expecting an NGK but it's Denso for Mazda: ZC20HPR11 PE5S-18-110 - one pic beside a 16mm NGK BKR5E-11 I use for the other car.
