I guess i need to "call around"... My dealer quoted me $260 for a transmission flush!!!(boom05) They just happen to be a BMW/Mazda dealer...so i guess they charge everyone for BMW $ervice...going to be hard to justify that price every 30k. I either have to find somewhere else to have it...

This is all i know. I asked both Mazda dealer and Mazda service center if i could have a dipstick installed (at my cost), they said NO! I asked why they removed it..did not get an answer. (?) A friend that works at a GM dealer said that they were being removed to discourage owners from...

Dvd We ended up going with a set of Phillips Dual 9" DVD players. That way we could use them in more than one cars. $175

If anyone finds out that it is possible to check fluid by simply inserting a dipstick into the plugged tube in our 2011's, please let me know. I asked Mazda directly and they indicated that it is not checked from the dipstick and a dipstick cannot be installed. (???) (scratch) From what i've...

Iphone4 ~ 2011 CX9 ~ works great

We just bought a 2011 CX-9 and went through the same thing... Our plans were to buy headrest dvd systems, but the more we looked around and more people we talked to we ended up deciding to go with a dual dvd player setup. They come with the straps that attach them to the back of the factory...

I just bought a 2011 Touring FWD...but i live in the south...our snow doesnt stick! ;-)

Well, if i do have dark tranny fluid...I'll never know. Thanks Mazda!!! From what i've read on other sealed tranny's there are probably a drain and filler bolt on the side of the tranny. Need to have up on a lift to access. I guess the Mazda dealers have a few years to figure out how to...

They didn't tell me exactly what was different on the 2011. Just that it was not "the same as 2010 tranny" and that I could not install a dipstick. My guess is that they removed the dipstick, filled it with synthetic fluid and called it sealed! He did tell me that starting in 2011 the CX9 V6...

HaHa!! Im right there with you! I couldnt believe it either. On page one of this post #11...is a picture of where it was on the 2010. Now there is just a tube with a plug in it...I asked what this tube is for..they say NOTHING. ??? Let me know if you find out anything different on...

I just received the following email from Mazda a few minutes ago... ************************************************** From: MazdaCustomerAssistance@mazdausa.com <MazdaCustomerAssistance@mazdausa.com> Subject: RE: Ownership & Maintenance - Service & Maintenance [INTR:473341] To: ***********...

DVD players Great idea...not sure why i didnt think of that. What i may do is buy them each a portable dvd player instead...there getting older anyway and will be able to take them on school trips etc. Just did a quick search and i found a few 9" dvd player with all accessories for around...

The one thing that our Odyssey had that our CX9 is missing is a DVD system for the kiddo's.(headbang) So..has anyone purchased a Headrest DVD System for your cx9? If so, what kind? How much? And are you happy with it? We have a pearl white CX9...with the tan leather interior. If anyone has...

THE SAGA CONTINUES... I had sent an email to Mazda about the transmission and received a call back. They confirmed that the 2010 and 2011 transmissions are "different". By that they mean that it doesn't have a dipstick to check fluid levels or condition. I asked how am i to monitor the...

Thnx for the info ceric... I think im going to stick with the 30k service also ------ Ok, bear with me. haha im trying to figure this out... the pictures i took last night were at the front of the battery. i looked again this morning on the side of the battery and found a tube that is plugged...
