The OE compressor for the Mazda 3 (2004-2009) and Mazda 5 (2006-2010) mounts on the bottom of the engine on the oil pan.

This compressor also is the lowest point of the air conditioning system. When the vehicle is not moving, all the oil drains to it. Factor in the
reflective heat for the road, this compressor is under a lot of stress when the system is working properly. |
|
The OE compressor is a rotary vane type compressor, when the shaft turns the vanes move around the wall to create pressure. As you can see by this example, the vanes have locked into the housing so it will not generate pressure, causing the air conditioning system not to work.
gpd has redesigned the internal workings of the compressor to a 10 piston style to help reduce the risk of premature failure.
