Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Mazda CX-50 (2022-) I generation (VA) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Mazda CX-50 (2022-) with Kolchuga® skid plates, crafted from high-quality materials to safeguard your vehicle's engine and gearbox. Available in two robust options: a 2 mm thick steel variant or a lightweight 3 mm thick aluminum version (AluOx®). This protection acts as a shield for your oil pan and transmission, ensuring they remain intact against road hazards. Experience peace of mind knowing your critical components are shielded from potential damage.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
This skid plate covers critical zones, including the gearbox and engine, providing comprehensive protection. Its robust construction features reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings to ensure optimal cooling of engine components. Additionally, some models include service access openings, allowing for quick oil changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your vehicle against impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. This mechanical shield not only prevents damage to vital components but also reduces corrosion by keeping dirt and moisture at bay. Installation is straightforward, attaching securely to factory mounting points without the need for drilling or modifications.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
