The 2.3L engines in the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 are similar but not identical; both are part of Mazda's MZR engine family. While they share the same displacement and basic design, they may have different tuning, components, and performance characteristics to suit each vehicle's specific needs. It's essential to check the exact specifications and configurations for compatibility if considering parts interchangeability.
There is a CD for the overhaul information on the Mazda 3.I can forward it to you if you need it.Just sendyou e-mail to me on muchineripie@puzeys.co.zw Thanks E.Muchie
yes, it depends. If it's the same 2.3 Naturally aspirated engine. A DISI turbo mazdaspeed engine will not.
the dipstick is what tells you how much oil is in the engine
7.6 quarts according to the manual for a 2.3L 2005 Mazda 3. I can't imagine it's any different for a 2008 Mazda 3 with the same engine.
The dealer may be able to provide specs for you. Best to ask when it's not busy if they can print off what you need from their service computer.
4cyl = Mazda BP engine v6 = KLZE engine
This Mazda engine uses a chain.
Yes it is an interference engine
I had the engine light come on in my patrol due to overheating and I had to take the vehicle to the dealer's service centre where they plugged it into the computer which advised why the light came on and then reset it. There was a minimal service fee for this. I assume it will be the same process for the Mazda.
Yes, a 2006 or 2007 Mazda 3 2.3L engine should fit into a 2004 Mazda 3 with a 2.3L engine, as they share similar engine designs and components. However, it's important to verify compatibility with specific parts like the engine control unit (ECU) and any necessary wiring harnesses. Additionally, checking for any differences in emissions regulations or mounting points is advisable before proceeding with the swap.
yes but you need different motor mounts
The amount of oil that goes into a Mazda 3 2.3 liter engine is 4.5 quarts. This would equal 4.3 liters.
