#1101 of 1132 Tranny Lube by oldman15 Feb 28, 2008 (8:05 am)
03 P5 5-speed w/ 100,000 miles needs transmission lube change. GL-4 rated 75W90 can't be found anywhere. GL-5 rated has additives that corrode brass components in transmission. One dealership said synthetic causes seals to deteriorate.    Any ideas? Thanks Replies to this message: iamz (Feb 28, 2008 5:00 am)

03 P5 5-speed. Any after market pads and rotors that are better performers than OEM w/ rotors that don't rust? Thanks.

Replying to: oldman15 (Feb 28, 2008 8:05 am) "One dealership said synthetic causes seals to deteriorate."   The dealer that said that is an idiot. If they are stupid enough to make such a comment, they are clearly too dumb to work on your car. Stay far away from them.
#1104 of 1132 spark plug confusion? by tds2003 Aug 30, 2008 (10:10 am)
I run a Honda/Acura repair center, but I bought a 2003 DX 2.0 for my drive back and forth everyday work car. The local dealer parts dept. says Ngk BKR5E-11 (6953) The Ngk catalog and everything else I check says NGK ZFR6F-11 (4291) This car has 113,000 on it, was previously in a rent a car fleet and has been extremly well maintained. I just did the Tbelt, seals, waterpump, tensioner and spring. Any clues on which spark plug is correct?   TDS Replies to this message: autonomous (Sep 02, 2008 11:58 am)

Replying to: tds2003 (Aug 30, 2008 10:10 am) I would go with the owner's manual; it's available online via Edmunds.

Replying to: tds2003 (Sep 02, 2008 6:26 pm) Maybe I should have added this: On the Mazda web site you register your car then you click on "Owner" followed by "My Mazda" followed by "Downloads" (this is from my memory)
