2014 Mazda 3

Yup, & not just the CX5 but practically all SkyactivGs. New PNs have superseded older ones. I think the latest is PE03-15-980C. Don't settle for cheap replacements.

I saw OEM tensioner.. made by INA..

Checking their part number almost all have 980B or 980C.. what changes is the first 4 alpha numeric PE03 for mazda 3, physically they look the same

Anyone here already did the AT fluid and filter replacement with their M3? What's your recommended interval?

Did at 50k...too early. Fluid & filter were still in great shape visually. After 2 drains & fills, no felt changes in performance. No trace of any placebo effect.[emoji16]
I'd say 80-100k kms would be ideal.

That's the same recommendation the Mazda mechanic told me, around 80T would be the best time.

Did you also replace the AT fluid filter?

Yup, dropped the pan non-half-arsedly.[emoji16] Not a difficult job.

Bought a new set aluminum no-drill pedals for my M3 BN. I ditched the old ones with the Mazdaspeed engraving

i have always wondered,
when the pedals are armored,
does this translate to less pedal wear, at the expense of increased driver soles' wear?
