Muffler replaced around 80,000.
Replaced clutch and shocks around 105,000 miles.
Main computer replaced around 150,000 due to shorted board (very expensive). Probably caused by water leak down antenna shaft. I suspect that body repairs on that fender caused the leak.
AC compressor replaced and Sanden retro kit installed at 125,000 miles (with fan).
Front end parts, brake discs, and drums replaced at 135,000.
Replaced alternator at 180,000.
A reoccurring problem... have replaced clutch slave cylinder around 4 times. Clutch master cylinder replaced only twice since I've owned it.
Replaced oxygen sensor and installed universal catalytic converter at 190,000.
Amazingly, the cloth seats are in relatively good condition.
I've never had any engine work done. I attribute this to using synthetic oil for it's life. Mileage to date is 216,000. Maybe Mazda needs to know this!
Currently experiencing an AC fan problem, but it's probably the fan resistor or a bad connection somewhere. Also need shocks and other stuff!
Otherwise.. this truck has had a long life, and I hope it lives a few more years! No real complaints!!
The use of good quality synthetic oil (such as Mobil 1 or Castrol Syntech) is the single best thing one can do to keep an engine in good shape. You're a smart guy for taking care of your investment. We had one car (a Ford) that went 325,000 miles without any engine problems. I always use synthetic oil from the very first oil change.
