New in box K&N air intake for Mazda6 four cyclinder engines from 2009-2013. $175 with free shipping.

Any advice on what you wish you would have done? Need to do the brakes on 2014 GT next weekend as I'm off work and have some down time. What did you use to bleed the brakes?

Most cars (not sure if CX-9 falls into this group) have an internal memory that will keep all these settings for a brief period of time, like during a battery swap. I just changed the battery on my Suburban last week and it took me about 5 min from disconnect of old, to reconnect of new, and...

Went with the Michelin Premier LTX tires, 20" for a '14 GT FWD. They feel great compared to the ones that were on there. Feel glued to the road in the rain. But in all fairness to the OEM tires (Bridgestone), comparing worn tires to brand new ones an hour later isn't all that fair. A...

Sorry, let me clarify. When we were looking for a vehicle, we looked at several. My wife thought that the 2014 CX-9 was better than the current Highlander and Pilot at the time. She spent less than 60 seconds sitting in the Pilot and did not like it. Didn't like the layout, the way it felt...

The one I have is one I bought many moons ago from either advance auto or autozone. I am fine with the fit, so either yours is a size off, or their is a quality control issue with the filter maybe? Keep in mind that for these to work best it needs to be completely square. You can't attack it...

Not going to see a big difference. My Suburban does 13-15ish city/mixed. maybe 17 hwy. CX-9 is 17 city/mixed, maybe 22 hwy.

Contact Fumoto customer service. Had the exact same thing happen. They shipped me a new one along with a prepaid envelope to send the wrong one back. It was top notch the way it was handled on their end. Here's the email exchange I had with them (start at the bottom and go up - it's from...

I disagree. We have a '14 CX-9 GT FWD and liked it much better than the Honda Pilot. There was something about the Pilot that just felt odd to us. The Highlander was nice, but priced a lot more for same features, at least for us (we bought a used CPO with less than 1k miles on it so tough to...

Switched to the Motorcraft filter just last change after using Mazda OEM for first 6 changes. I bought a 6-pack of the OEM filters from Amazon for about $6 each including shipping and now they are closer to $10. The Motorcrafts are less than $4 at Walmart. The Mazda OEM (at least the ones I...

Have them on both my Mazdas. Combined with about 12" of clear plastic tubing that fits on the opening, it's the easiest way to change oil. Just put the tube directly in the oil recycling container. While it drains I check other things on the car, wiper fluid, brake fluid, power steering...

I use a 4 ton jack.

So I got all ready today to rotate the tires on a 2014 CX-9 GT. Got my floor jack, Bosch cordless impact gun, dug the wheel lock bit out of the glovebox, and found some cardboard keep my old knees from feeling too old. Got under the car and cannot for the life of me figure out how to raise...

Personally 10K OCI is not something I would do. The manual calls for 7.5k under normal conditions, and 5k under extreme. I have a 2014 with CPO warranty for 100K. Maybe I'm paranoid but I've been very religious about my oil changes. I bought it used in January with about 650 miles on it. It...

Is it unreasonable of me to expect something comparable in size to the car they are fixing? The Focus was like polar opposite of the cx-9.
