I know there was a similar thread a while back, but I figured we should see how things have changed since then.

Wondering how many people have new engines, what year, and what mileage. If you had to get a new engine, please post how many miles you had on the old engine(s).

 

07 with 27K

Still on my first engine. It's been fed a steady diet of 5W-20 5W-30 dyno oil.

 

49.3 k miles

lost compression

im a maintenance ***** it still failed

omp not good enough.

 

Yeah, I saw that (actually why I started the thread). I'm not that far from mileage, and even if it's not extremely common, I hate to think about being that small chance.

 

04 MT with 65K miles and the original engine.

 

04 MT with 39123 miles in original engine

 

2004 A/T

1st motor 30k
2nd motor 35k
3rd motor 17k and still going strong.

 

07 with 13,500 miles on original engine

 

2004 MT 130,000 miles

1st motor till 110,000 2/2008 ( poor performance on the track.)
2nd is a Mazmart rebuilt running strong.

 

2004 6spd, First motor nothing but synthetic and religious oil changes and checks and it failed at 22k. My second motor has 68k on it with dino oil and is running like a champ(knocks on wood). I drive the **** out of my car also.

 

61k with original engine. im decarbonizing tomorrow to see if that fixes my low power.. i kept it under 5k rpm for about 3 months since my misfires began. ignition is fixed finally with the bhr ignition. will keep everyone posted

 

/\ good luck.

 

04' 6MT replaced at 54K miles. Have 10K miles on factory reman 1.5 years later and running strong.

I believe all '04's and the early '05's made before the recall will all need their motors replaced due to the lube problem.

 

I am premixing with my 3rd motor. 4 oz of premix at every fill up

 

motor one went at 55k miles. well it did not go. but failed test.

second motor has 50k miles on it.

beers

 

2004 AT... 3 engines

 

07 MT 23xxx original engine

 

Mine was done before I bought the car. It was one of the recalled ones from the factory.

 

2004, 6SPD, 80,000 Miles, All Dino Oil changed every three thousand miles, Original engine running well, No Major Repairs.

 

The last thread actually did a yes and no option for each year, but since that would require 12 slots and the limit is 10 for a poll, I had to shorten it. oh well.

Keep it coming guys!

 

07' 18k still strong!!!

 

04 AT 72,XXX moments from death....

 

05 MT, 60,000 miles, original engine still going strong. Been to track twice and drive hard daily.

Have used Royal Purple 5W-20 until 50,000 then switched to Royal Purple 10W-30. Oil changes every 7,500. No premix.

 

04 MT 73,XXX

Repairs that I can remember (there's a lot)

20,219 - Purchased car 03/06
22,XXX- Trans leak fixed under warranty
26,XXX - Trans leak fixed under warranty
30,XXX - Trans leak fixed under warranty
36,XXX- Trans Replaced under warranty
39,XXX - Trans leak fixed under warranty
45,XXX - Trans leak fixed under warranty
59XXX- Cat failed / Major engine leaks / Trans leak - fixed under warranty
71,XXX - Throttle body failed, replaced $ 300
73,XXX - Trans leak $ 200
73,500 - Broken Subframe - $ 1100

That is my history not including minor stuff like failing coils, plugs, wires, fogged headlights, 3 sets of taillights, interior pieced breaking, CDs getting stuck in head unit, etc etc.

Overall, Im still a happy owner believe it or not, Mazda took care of pretty much everything up until 60K, and the car hasnt had too many issues now after the expired powertrain. My engine is running very well,shows no noticable signs of loss of compression. I have some time left on my loan but Ive been making some principle payments and I plan on keeping this car once its paid off.

 

I'm on number 4
2005 AT
First one,, died 33,000
Second one,, 360 miles after that
Third one,, day one after replacement
Fourth one,, is going strong with 75,000 mile on the car. 120 psi compression across both rotors after 40,000 miles.
