Let me guess, you work for Mazda and you're nothing more than a shill.

 

Nope never have worked for mazda. Never will. I'm just a car modder and car owner just like all of you.

 

And I know these motors like the back of my hand. O...I own a mazda 6 as well incase you didn't know

 

The thing is, there are plenty of examples where any given engine (either the entire engine or a portion of it such as the block or the block and the heads) is used in more than one brand/model of car and suffers a much higher failure rate in one car than the next. That the overall failure rate of the V6 used in the Mazda6 is low is completely irrelevant within the scope of this discussion; the only thing that is relevant is the failure rate for the engine as it is installed in the Mazda6. In this case, my bet is that the failure rate is significantly higher than for other models that share the 3.0 liter engine.

 

Yes, exactly. Thank you shipo.
