About this engine

This used OEM engine came out of a 2018 Mazda 3 with the 2.0L , Japan built spec. It matches vehicles whose VIN shows 7 at digit 8, which is how we confirm the fit before it ships. 6 units are in stock with 11,000 to 107,000 donor miles, priced by mileage. The same 2.0L engine (VIN code 7) was used in the Mazda 3 in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, so a unit from any of those years can fit when your VIN code matches. We list Mazda 3 engines for 20 model years (2004–2023), from $760 to $5,050.
