I was able to get a key cut successfully today at my dealer. Weather really sucks so I didn't drive RX there. Brought my title as proof of ownership. It cost just under $16.
So two things, it is probably not the correct era blank they used, looks like my mid 90's Miata key, round end. And when I got home and tried it on all the outside locks, I would say it works no better, and maybe worse than the key I already had. It got stuck in the hatch lock, almost didn't get it out. The cuts are not a consistent mirror image. Will have to bring it back and maybe have them redo it.
What are people using to lube the outside cylinders? Normal graphite lock powder?
Can a locksmith refit or refurb the cylinders? My ignition key works fine, the weather over the years has obviously gotten to my outside locks.
Thanks

Just broke my key off inside my ignition !!! Looks like the replacement keys I had made are TOO long !!! For future reference DO NOT use the M727 key blank. It is a half inch too long, which puts undue stress on the key when you turn it. Use MZ22/X200 instead. It's the proper length, but it does not have the circular head. It's squarish. I'm going to try an Efini key blank next.
