Different size wipers?

I noticed on my M6 that the wipers are two different sizes (bigger on left than on the right)... Is this right or should they be the same size? While we are at it, what size should they be?

There is a guy right off of Hampden and Santa Fe that did some work on my car. Extreme detailing. owners name is Jason. Give them a call on both fixing the chips and doing the clear bra. 303-781-4901. He quoted me $450 for front bumper and 18" of hood. MUCH better and reasonable price. Thank you.

This is how my Jeep turned out using black Plasti-Dip .... http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb244/sfoshag/Jeep/1398220779_zps2f400d17.jpg I did the same to the grill (no pics, YET) and it held up quite nicely during the winter. I want my M6 to look like the nice car it is. If I cannot get a respon...

Front Bumper Finish Protection

I am new here and I appreciate the help I got for the transmission fluid change tips. I have a burgundy Mazda 6 that I swore did not have any chips in the front when I bought it. When doing the Spring wax job, I found numerous chips. I did have a guy do touch up on those, but not the greatest job (c...

If anyone is doing this in the near future, let me know. I want to do a DYI video on it since the infinite universe powered by the all knowing internet DOES NOT HAVE IT. :rolleyes:

Contact me via e-mail; I don't visit this site often.

Motor on... zoom zoom.

the socket is technically 23mm I wish I revisited this a few days ago; I was told by a mechanic that the fill and drain plugs were either 22mm or 24mm. My 24mm that I already had was too big. :rolleyes: I went to Sears to exchange the 22mm socket for a 23; seems as though there is no 23mm sockets. ...

Check single wrenches at a hardware store. Probably get away cheaper unless you will be using them for other stuff. Open and box end wrenches are fine for bolt 1. But the drain plug, as I am told, is inset into the transmission so the only way to it is by socket. Just love all those odd jump-in-siz...

I went to Pep Boys where I got the oil for the change and asked them. Seems as though 1 is the fill plug and the drain plug is under the transmission not visible in my picture. The mechanic told me both plugs would be either 22 or 24mm. I put a 24 mm socket (left over from my 1988 VW Fox Wagon) and ...

Visually, all 3 of the bolts are different sizes.

Thanks for replying.... Here is what mine looks like. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb244/sfoshag/Mazda/2010M6ManualTransmissionnumbered_zps5f5841eb.jpg The picture is taken from the left front looking in the direction to the rear. I am guessing that 1 is the fill plug and 2 is the drain plug. ...

Thanks for chiming in.... My transmission does not look like that. I will try to get some pictures of mine, hopefully today. I have looked on the internet and even got a book from the library, but these two plugs seem to be some secrete, as if it were a matter of national security. :rolleyes: I am s...

Need help 2010 M6 manual fluid change

I have a 2010 M6 with a 6 speed transmission which I want to change the fluid. I have the stuff I need (oil, tubing, fitting). I cannot locate for sure what plugs are the fill and drain plugs. I can take a wild guess, but I want to make sure. Also, the plug I think is the fill plug is big, but I don...
