got the tensioner after discounts and vouchers.. hehe

now i'm scouting for parts to replace the lower arm bushings.. the big bushing is starting to crack..

i've seen some folks are replacing the bushing with polyurethane type.. and it turns out that the bushing itself can be pushed out as opposed to replacing the whole assembly

polyurethane inserts last typically longer than yun regular rubber ones pero bear in mind di siya kasing compliant ng goma so you may feel more of the road

Nice.. but that seems not locally available sir..

Reviews say that poly bushings improves the handling..

In mazda forums, i've seen the poly sealant mod.. they say that it fixes the suspension noise and improved braking control too

Oz product(seen them carried locally for other makes( SUPERPRO SPF292B-4K SWAY BAR BUSH KIT (NISSAN ‘88-’16 Patrol, TOYOTA ‘95-’2 LC9 Prado, MITSUBISHI, All Models) ), those in pic were sent over from NA. PU bushes are firmer, will last longer, are gonna be noisier & would require periodic lube. The PU sealant mod on voids & tears of tired bushes will revive them some but won't bring them back to new. Expect more NVH.

Thanks for this! I’m about to order the Mazda genuine belt tensioner and saw this one. How’s the fitment sir? Swakto talaga for 2.0 engine?

Anyone here tried CANROYAL FULL SYNTHETIC ENGINE OIL SAE 5W-30 API SN GF-5?

I wonder if there's an official distributor here in PH

It's on my 3 now but since Mhon also carries Motul I'm using that on my next PMS.

Very satisfied. He worked on my 3 in Mazda Pasig when it was under Yojin3 2014-2016 so it was a bit of a reunion when he finally opened his own shop. He knows the PMS routine and he has his own scan tool so no guessing game here.

Thanks now im convinced. I was thinking of extending the pms with casa for two more years but the car is only used on the weekends and i feel its not worth it. One more thing how much is the cost of pms with them compared to casa? Also are the parts needed for the pms always available? Thanks again for the reply.

Cost is similar to casa as he mostly uses OEM parts. You can opt for the cheaper Canroyal oil to cut costs a bit or go for Motul. Common PMS parts are available like filters, belts, brake pads, and most suspension bits. You can call ahead for an appointment or if you're walking in I find it's best to go around 9am.

That's good to hear! My next PMS is coming soon, I'll likely go to Mhonworks this time around.

Do they use the Motul 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil like Motul 6100 Syn-clean 5W-30 ACEA A3?

Another option I'll bring my own engine oil like Castrol Magnatec Stop-Start ACEA A5. I reckon the shop will impose an additional charge for this.

They had a Motul product training last week with Autoplus. Based on their FB pics they were being trained on 6100 and H-Tech 100 Plus.

That's great! I don't need to bring my own engine oil then [emoji4]

[jojopad]

The Motul 6100 Sync-clean 5W30 is ACEA C3 which is just what our Skyactiv engines need.

Mukhang mas ok ata 10am para sigurado nandoon si Mhon.

Nakapunta ka na? I was planning to go there this morning but tinamad na ako dahil sarado ang Palar southbound exit so direcho na lang ako uwi.

Mhon's minions normally do not start working on any car until the boss arrives. Buti na lang they already have an airconditioned waiting room.

Napadaan ako this week. Mga 9:30 dumating ako kaso wala pa si Mhon so nagusisa lang muna ako doon sa air-conditioned lounge at tiningnan yung mga naka display na Motul oils. Puno din yung service bays ng two 1st gen Mazda3 at may ginagawa nang initial checkup yung mga mechanics nya.

Buti nga meron nang lounge. Mainit din kasi doon sa service bays dahil yero lang yung bubong. Pero overall maayos yung area. Meron pang carwash na malapit.
