    2010 CX-9 Water pump failure?

    If you've driven it for 10,000 miles with this going on I doubt it is mixing with the oil. Your oil would be like a chocolate milkshake if the coolant is mixing with it. What exactly are your symptoms? Just coolant loss? If so it’s probably leaking through the weep hole. There are tons of...

    2007~2015 Mazda CX-9 water pump replacement/service expected costs?

    My 08‘ just started puking out the weep hole behind the alternator today. Luckily it happened just as I pulled in the driveway. I dont think any coolant got in the oil though. I’ve really liked this car and it is still in excellent shape being only a few miles from turning 165k miles. Don’t...

    Replacing oem spare with a roadworthy spare. Story why inside.

    then how does the 20" spare fit under there? it will fit but a full size will just hang a little lower since it is wider than the spare. i do know that the tire carrier nut won't fit through the center bore of the stock rims so i would have to do some reconfiguring there if i decide to do a full...
