So I'm about to hit 30000 on my sunlight silver 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 GT. Anyways I figure this is the checkpoint for necessary maintenance. What are the recommendations. Or should I just follow the guide.
Ha! I'm in the same boat as I just bought it used about 3 months ago and I currently have just under 28k on the car. I've got a road trip to Florida in 2 weeks, I'll probably bring 'er in for service when I get back. I should be just at 30k then
do oil, trans fluid, inspect serpentine belt, air filter, cabin air filter, inspect cv boots, powersteering boots, inspect susp system and all moving parts on the control arms, check your tires and pressure(including the spare), look at your brakes/pads, and top off all fluids. maybe even check out your plugs and replace as needed... eff going to the dealer it aint worth it unless your not mechanically inclined.
just hit 31K and all I did was oil, plugs and that's it. However I will be bring it in to get the trans fluid changed tho, hopefully its not gonna cost me a crap load just to do the trans fluid/filter change.
are you serious? 150! geeeeeeeez I'll call my service guy and ask to see if that's really the price for a simple trans service, damn wish my job didn't take so much of my time so I can do it myself.
got my own oil and oil filter. Couldn't source a cabin air filter. But dealer said that it would only 180 less the cost of whatever I bring with me. Hopefully they won't find anything outside of the warranty that needs replacing.
might as well bend over, your getting raped with those services and prices. I work at toyota which I know is different than mazda but at 30k I would never recommend those services to a customer so soon. what a freakin joke. unless theres some serious problems with your car those fluids and the injectors should be all good still.
