Asking what a Mazda engine replacement costs is a bit like asking the price of a sausage sizzle: it depends how fancy you go.
For common 4-cyl petrols (Mazda2/3/6), a used wrecker engine is often around AUD $2,000-$5,000 for the unit, while newer Skyactiv-G motors tend to land AUD $3,500-$7,500.
A new or fully reconditioned petrol long motor can run about AUD $6,000-$12,000, and more if you want every ancillary fresh.
Diesel (Skyactiv-D) swaps are pricier: think AUD $5,000-$9,000 used, or AUD $8,000-$15,000 reconditioned/new depending on availability.
Labour is the banana peel everyone forgets: roughly 10-20 hours at $120-$180 per hour, so AUD $1,200-$3,600, plus fluids, gaskets, mounts, and possible ECU programming.
Factor in warranty differences too (used 3-6 months vs reconditioned/new often 12 months), and always get quotes tied to your exact VIN.
