New around here, but I thought I'd add some information and ask a question.
2013 CX-5 Sport Manual FWD - checking in at 120,000 miles. Bought at 35,000 used with no issues.
Work has included basic scheduled maintenance: replacement of drive belts, coolant flush/replace, spark plug replacement (old spark plugs were still okay, I just opted to replace as its an easy job), and new tires of course after all that driving. Ball joints also needed replaced so I opted to just install completely new control arms with new bushings. Struts still seem to be in decent shape but the bellows are cracked.
I haven't had any transmission issues, but because this is a manual transmission I can't help but think that the transmission fluid may need to be replaced. All that I read online is in regards to ATF drain and replacements.
Does anyone here have any input in regards to the manual transmission fluid drain and replace? The manual I have gives the lifetime fluid line, but just thought I'd see if anyone out there is in a similar situation.
