Gracias.. I saw the pics were stripped, so I figured the thread had been closed. Apparently I'm an idiot. Bump! I need to get this thing out of my kitchen!

I was told I had to include the forum name on the pics. Thought that thread was closed... Either way, bumping $5 off the price to get this thing out of my kitchen.

Hey all! I'm trying this again, this time with the correct notes on the slip of paper (took the pics last week, but just now getting time to post them up). I included the mazdas247 note this time. Anyway... This is a new-in-box Mazda3 spin-on filter conversion kit. These work on the Mazda 3s...

Thanks everyone, I used the B3000 filter, and did six. I'm going to let it settle and dip it tomorrow. Oakland and Mike, you guys are the tops. Thanks, homies. :)

Quick question, guys. My owner's manual was stolen when the car was broken into a while back. I am doing the spin-on filter conversion today, and just realized I cant remember how much oil I add. How much do i need to add? Simple question, hope someone can throw me a response quickly. This is...

The idle re-learn, as you put it, is the same for all Mazdas. Disconnect both terminals from the battery. Depress the brake pedals(this completes a circuit to the brake lights). Reconnect the terminals. Start. Every time the ECU loses power (when you radio stations reset :) ), it treats itself...

Wait.... the MS3 has a CABLE shifter? Jesus.

The upgrade is a good deal, but the question is whether it replaces the right parts. Is it the shift forks that are failing (unlikely)? Is it the synchros? (more likely) Is it the dog gear (likely)? Is there some sort of detent in the linkage that helps it to stay in gear (dont know, I cant find...

Mine is at 67K. I know the 00 thru 02's had the problem, it was fixed in the for those models made mid 2002 and later (which could be 02.5's, 03's, or 03.5's) for both the ES sedan and P5. "It" being the propensity to pop out of gear. The rumor is inferior components and if you do replace, make...

breal, let me know what the fix is at the shop. I'd love to find out. I will prob do it myself, if anyone in the area is interested.

I and others are having the pop out gear. Perhaps, consolidate comments in this thread: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123657462&highlight=pop+gear

I have also had this problem. The first time, we could not duplicate the problem, but the second time was during a 600-mile trip (car is at 67 now, was around 66 then). It happened under load in 5th only (when the most force exists between the motor and transmission, as 5th is the hardest gear...

Best article I've ever read on oil, period. This article explains what exactly "synthetic" oils really are, as well as what oils are best for people who push their cars to the limit. I suggest you bookmark this link. http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Oils1.html

Hey all. So basically I have enabled the instant vehicle explosion code for Simpson's hit and run, but now I have a mission that I need to turn it off for. This is for the Xbox platform. Entering the code again doesn't do it, and I do not see an option to turn it off. I have completed one...
