Mazda5 Maintenance and Quick Reference Spec Sheet

:
2008 Mazda5 GT
I have always made a cheat sheet with specs for quick reference. It would include fluid levels, bulb types, torque specs for common/critical components. I would get these from a Hayes manual but since I don't have one for the Mz5, I wanted to see if folks here would like to contribute (questions and answers) to building this. The idea is to have his fit on one printable page so you don't have to flip through any book to find it and can be easily disposed of/printed. Following manufacturer specs!

Thanks Dkaz. That was the idea, to see if we can get some team play here but it seems we have a lot of passerbys and not many willing/able to contribute. This print out will be useful if something breaks on you while you are on the road and you need to find something for a quick fix. Most answers can be found with key word+mazda3 but that is not so easy if you are on the road.

Some additional items.

::Fitment::

Rim offset:
Rim bore:
Oil drain plug thread/pitch:
Oil filter thread/pitch:

Just because I know those off the top of my head...
 
Honestly though, it's easier to just pull them all from the service manual.
Agreed. We are all masters of the infoweb when we are connected. A cheat sheet has come in handy for me many times, which is why I take the time to make one, even though I have my smartphone, as nothing beats a hard copy with info right there. Also, come change interval I know the processes but always forget size/capacity/etc. needed, but maybe this is just me.

Benefits:
It is much quicker to get instant access to data, especially if you are on the road.
I hate having to stop to flip thru a book or having to ‘search’ sepcs when I am in the middle of doing something, especially if my hands are dirty. I want it now :D!

I'm not promoting that everyone do this. Just wanting to share how this has become a handy tool for me, which is why I take the effort to compile this info for my cars. Shrink it down into half a page, print it, and insert into glove box. I would organize it a bit in Excel to make it easier to read.

So, anyone able to help fill in the missing blanks or confirm if something is totally wrong?
