Interesting when I got my motor, I filled it with 380 ml of oil as it said to do. It was overfilled by almost 150 ml. My conclusion is that they do put some oil in.
omg! dude! Please remove this vodeo. I hate to bash you, but those rotors should never have been put back on the car. In fact, in many(mayby most) states, they would not pass inspection as those pads are dangerous and inadequate. Thank God they are in the REAR, cause if they were in the FRONT I would not hesatate in predicting you in an accident! If you are watching this video or have watched it, PLEASE search for another video.
The OEM brakes on the 3 are garbage. Mine, and the rear rotors were gone at 49000 km (30000 miles). I've had Volvos, Alfas, etc. last 70,000 and, like you I engine brake. Very disappointing.. Great video Sebastian.
I've never understood WHY not fill from the upper, the gear oil level plug? When the oil comes out, you know you're full? Why the procedure to fill from the bottom?? So the gear oil get into all the "nooks and crannies?"
Not me watching this video outside, on a 90 degree day and thinking, “oh thank God…the ice cream man is driving by!!” I wasn’t at all disappointed when you said, “sorry the ice cream truck is coming!” 🤦🏽♀️😂
Thanks Mate! I’m the same, love driving my manual…unfortunately they are the dinosaur now with Mazda Australia only selling auto now. I also only had to change the rear pads at 80,000km but strangely still got the front at 150,000km. Excuse I heard was the G Vectoring kicks in through rear brakes.
A good trick is to punch a hole in the bottom of the filter to let the oil drain out, makes less mess. The Mazda 6 that has a cartridge filter has a bolt on the plastic filter housing for this reason.
Do NOT rotate the pistons on the EPB cars! Push the piston straight in and make sure the markers are lined u.p perfectly. Rotating the pistons can DAMAGE the EPB. I suggest you also lube up all the usual parts (not the braking surface/material obviously but other metal on metal part.
Quick ? So if your not supposed to rotate the piston back in on EPB cars then why do some of the caliper piston tools work by rotating? Like the ones with the interchangeable discs they sell. Not doubting your advice just curious. Also so does not rotating also apply to the 2019 Mazda 3 as well? Thanks for any advice you can offer as I'm getting ready to do this job on the wifes car.
Hi, have you changed the fork oil on this model. I have the same one but I can't figure out what the exact amount of oil is. 550mm or 600mm? It turned out to be a big mystery😁😁
It’s rated for that bit you can use a 12 and above to get on plane I use a 15 ho Johnson motor amd work great on my 10 ft dingy maxxon amd hit plane week to tho
The pistons don't retract, so it will be difficult or impossible to have sufficient clearance for the thicker new pads. You "can" manually force the piston to retract, but don't do that, you risk damaging the rubber or worse the piston.
There is an easier way to access the drivers side bulb by turning your wheel inward and popping off the 2 panel caps to reach it through the wheel well. Passenger side you'd still have to go through the engine bay though
All you got was 26k off those brakes? Im at 90k miles with original brake pads and they still arent grinding i just picked up more today actually spent a little extra to get the same ones that come stock maybe its the duralast pads lol
