Luckily they only took a few hours to change. And the motor doesn't shake like a maraca any longer...

Looks like few parts have been broke down already.

And of course, the cheapo ebay #3 mount has already started leaking oil at 80 miles.

I think I will just blow the oil out with brake cleaner and then fill it with RTV...

Was just looking at Amazon for some #3 mounts. Early failure is exactly what I was concerned about. Need to replace both the ones on my '04 and '05 Mazda 6.

Wouldn't get to rough with the engineers on this one. Those mounts absorb a lot of the 4cyl's running vibration and acceleration torque and being oil filled really does the trick. 118K on my '05 and I'm looking to replace the mount for the 2nd time.
