2014 Mazda 3

[jojopad]

My M3 is due for the 30th month pms (just oil change) but I barely drove it since March due to the quarantine. Total distance since last oil change was barely just 1000km. Do I really have to bring it for an oil change? Is the risk really worth it?

I'm a bit hesitant even with the safety precautions of wearing a facemask and keeping the interior sanitized. I would prefer to wait for next year but that would mean my yojin perk will be revoked.

Call it in, I'm sure they'll cut you some slack.

Guys what sealant brand do you use when you change your AT strainer/filter for our Mazda 3? Thanks.

ThreeBond has been one of the ancient, common & reliable ones. Now, Pioneer RTV is everywhere. Just read the specs...temp + application.

Just heads up to those with blacked out HU - no power/no display, which supposedly is common for Mazda3 BM (2014-2016) - Rino of Rino''s Garage Car Accessories has a spare HU, whole LCD and CMU assembly, for straight bolt on.

Dealership price of the HU replacement if car is already out of warranty is quite expensive
You can find him in FB, just send him a PM, he responds fairly quickly. Hope this helps.

I've read in the Mazda 6 forum that updating the firmware will fix the black screen. The post is updated as necessary with download links for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Upon checking from Casa, mine was diagnosed for replacement. So maybe case to case basis, I recall them saying some can still boot up and flickering/goes blank. But for those blacked out and doesn't boot at all, CMU hardware problem and need to be replaced.

Uy, akala ko 227hp lang, 250hp pala pag high octane.

[Dr.Kamiya]

Gonna need Blaze! Our other "high-octane" gasolines fall short of 93AKI.

True. Yung sa 95 octane na V power nasira piston ko. As a general rule, blaze talaga gamitin pag turbo.

anyone tried Emtrac batterries? EFB is 6.8k lang with 2 years warranty. planning to buy one kasi.

I'm using Emtrac, now on it's 23rd month, mukhang mas tatagal kaysa sa Motolite

Another Indian. Should be good. Check date of manufacture & warranty claim convenience. In choosing batts, I'd normally opt sources w/ fresh stocks & proven hassle-free warranty claims. Our neighborhood Pana/GS Yuasa dealer has been so. The local Amaron 1s aren't as. Motolite? This homegrown would've remained my choice if they did not perfect their built-in warranty-expiry-sensing self-destruct timer.[emoji13]

Hi guys,

Any recommended shop na kaya magrepair ng auto fold sa side mirror? Nagloloko na yun left side mirror ng sakin. May tunog na and need iassist para magclose.

If hindi kaya ng repair, san kaya ok bumili nun left side mirror lang? Thanks in advance! [emoji16]

Try contacting Mikstore on FB. They're located in the Scout area in QC. I don't know if they repair side mirrors but they do sell complete sets.

Another shop to try is Mhonworks also on FB. He's located in Taguig. Mhon used to work with Mazda Pasig.

Thanks sir! Contacted Mikstore already and they sell the complete sets for 13k.

Iniisip ko nga if I disconnect nalang muna yun wire tapos manual fold nalang muna para lang hindi tunog ng tunog hahahaha

Mazda PH is now offering the Apple Carplay/Android Auto upgrade module for just Php13,720 until supplies last. This is a good deal as it's just a bit more expensive than third-party installers and you get casa 1-year warranty with it.
