Brake pads for 2010 Mazda3 GT

[andy_w89]

Can anyone tell me if these OEM brake pads will fit my 2010 Mazda3 GT?

Also, will these pads work on both the front and rear wheels?

Many thanks for advice.

Manufacturer? Any information
All number and letters googled there return nothing.
Did you google it yourself?

Almost looks like FOMOCO in the writing font. They look kinda small to me, but hard to tell b/c no ruler etc there to show perspective

The manufacturer is FoMoCo which I have been able to confirm makes the OEM brake pads for Mazda. I did google the numbers on these brake pads and came up with nothing.

On a separate note, I checked out a few websites and most seem to say that the OEM pads for my 2010 Mazda 3 GT (2.5L engine) are as follows:

Front pads SKU: C2Y3-33-23ZA
Rear pads SKU: C2Y3-26-48ZA

However, also found a few sites that said above were only for the Mazda3 GX/GS with the 2.0L engine.

Can someone please confirm whether I have the correct part numbers. Many thanks.

Your brake pads look fine, they look like the one i bought today. Anyways don't buy wagner oe spec pads. I bought some today and they aren't that well made. One of the rear pads were thicker then what they were supposed to be and didn't fit even with the calliper piston fully compressed. I was only able to get both the front and one rear pad replaced. I left the other one alone and will go back to part source on a warmer day. The pads arent good as oem. It doesnt have the initial bite like the oem one does and there is the brake pedal needs to be depressed more then usual.

make sure you have a large channel lock to compress your front brake piston and make sure you have the special tool to compress your rear piston. It looks like this:

Please explain why you need this for the rear, I have done the fronts, but can't think of why the rear would be different.

I've heard this before to. Couldn't understand either.

IIRC you need a turn back tool as the piston rotates out when you set the e-brake.

those are the correct part numbers for the 2010 Mazda3. The 2.0L and 2.5L use the same pads.
