enginph Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I am looking for civic-like nozzles nowadays and what draws my attention is the price difference that I want to share. Civic: Right: $11, Left: $14 Mazda3: Right: $14, Left $14 Mercedes SLK: Total of two: $31.5 BMW 5-series Total of two: $37.5 Milly nozzles (black): Right: $77.5, left $83.5 Now can someone tell me wtf is wrong with the mazda prices?

///BHRpowered Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I have no idea, its been years and years since mine have been used, but they kind of suck, just 2 directions from each that barely cover anything. If I were changing them out, I would find some from a grand cherokee, those windshield washer nozzles are bad ass, instead of 2 jets its a massive spray covering the entire windshield - helps alot with mud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt64341 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Saint, are those Civic prices for those wide spraying nozzles? If so, do you have the part #'s? I would like a set of those. The price on the millenia nozzles are ridiculous... and why is the left more expensive on the right for the civic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 And the nozzles on the Millenia are utter crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ing-schu@online.no Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Civic nozzles would blend in better. My nozzles are heated, that ups the price I guess. I believe Mazda think they can charge more due to the rarity of the car. This and the dentprone body are the two major flaws in my opinion. Good thing it is reliable, the 2,5.

Next time I will think twice when pressing the washer knob. Actually if mazda will pay me that money they are up for sale... Heated? How? I will try my friends civic nozzles first. If they fit I will order. I should do it without telling him though Google honda trademotion for online honda dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 The nozzles are hooked up to the coolant circuit with one inch hoses. J/k, electrical heating of course Part of 4 season package on the Millenia maybe? Here it is a stock feature. I don't imagine Mazda would concider selling any car here without winter options...

enginph Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yeah if they sell it in miami they shouldnt even make it an option there. So it is heated inside the reservoir? Does it melt the ice on the windshield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Nope, only the nozzles are heated. We use -15 C washer fluid. Sub -15 C spraying is a bad idea anyway. The point with heating is that the a*l*c*o*h*o*l*e contence in the fluid evaporates easier than the water, through the nozzles. Without heating the remaining water tends to- guess what- freeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 my millenia's powerplant while not be ignited until at best, the 2nd weekend in march, all of course depends on temp and road conditions. I guess the only thing I really have to do is clean the filter and change the oil, but I first be ready to start it the instant new oil is poured in.

ing-schu@online.no Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Oil should be changed before storage, not after. How can you neglect your Milly like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 B goes to dealer for oil change. When he comes back the oil is already not good for storage. He should change himself and not touch the ignition switch afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Wait, are you saying he changes the oil both prior to and after storage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 as I have stated before, its cheaper and faster to go to the dealer, however starting this season I will be doing it myself since my service advisor has retired. And yes, if I used disgusting, dirty, 2500mile + oil that was ready to be changed anyway you are correct but I don't, the oil has around 650 miles on it, and some oil stabilzer, I change the oil in the spring before starting. If I do not have the stabilzer then before storage I put in conventional oil, and then redrain in spring without a single use. But in reality, why do I even need to keep oil in the car? I mean its just going to all be sitting in the oil pan, where not just drain it once and save myself the time later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Task514 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 When I had my motorcycle... I'd change to the cheapest oil just before storage. Then add fogging oil to engine combustion chamber and turn the crank by hand a couple of times. Then when spring comes, I turn the crank again and start the engine, letting it warm up a bit, then change the oil to the preferred oil. I find it overkill to do it on a car though... BHR: please leave some oil in that engine at least! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I ahve done that some years, but no real need. And removing everything to spray into the cylinders is simply not an option unelss you leave everything off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Task514 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Another reason I only did it to my motorcycle... But the main reason is because I don't put my cars in storage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
