Mazda CX-5 Gets News Spark Plugs and Air Fiter 

No! Don't add anti-seize to the new plug! Only for rusted/corroded threads on used ones that you clean up yourself! If you add that on a new one, the shiny one with a special coating that acts as a sealant when threaded in, you will OVER TORQUE!

From NGK website: " NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without lubrication or anti-seize. Anti-seize can act as a lubricant, altering torque values up to 20%, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage and/or metal shell stretch." Just a heads up!

You can also just use a magnetic pick up tool to grab the spark plug once you've unthreaded them.

At 30k miles did a drain and fill of trans fluid (3 qts) with genuine Mazda FZ fluid trans fluid (light blue), was surprised how dirty it was after only 30k miles, bought 8 qts, will do another 3 qts the next oil change. Also did the front differential, used genuine Mazda Hypoid gear oil, didnt look so bad. Need to do rear differential, nothing is difficult, all pretty easy to do, saves so much $$ doing yourself. The biggest pain is removing the stupid plastic cover. I purchased a set of 500 plugs compatible with Mazda & Chrysler (also have a Jeep Wrangler). OE fluids are costly.

The sound effects made me understand a bit more than if they werent here.

Thanks for the DIY video. The tape trick is genius!

you can shove an o ring or rubber washer that fits snug around the plug into a socket.

you could you the coil to pull the spark plug out

Can you tell us what the torque value was after you reset them. You should get a movie deal. You look like an actor making a promo video for mazda.

Just go to Lowe’s and buy the right side plus get a torque wrench.

Thanks for the useful money saving Video .

Now its 3 years older.

Did you require a "Thin walled" 14mm socket to access the plugs, I was thinking a decent 14mm Deep Spark Plug Socket (maybe Kinchrome) but I recently read that a "thin walled" splug plug socket is required ? I never changed them before on my CX5, it's just clocked 80,000km so it's probably well due for a change, so i just wondering what you used ? Cheers 🍻

How does one find OEM parts. I have looked on the manual and when I Google thousands of different parts come out.

Dear you have to use a torque wench for set up spark plug torque specification. It's a low cost tool. Thank.

How often to replace spark plugs?

Wow. My dealer wants $550 for just the plugs!

Can't hear the voice well

Plugs dont look so bad
