If you havent changed the ATF since new, if I were you I may have some hesitation to change (drain-and-fill) the ATF. If I decided to do it, I may consider taking the ATF pan down to replace the ATF filter cartridge inside.
For serpentine belt and water pump belt replacement, you may want to replace the tensioner even if its not leaking.
You need 2 quarts of Mazda Long Life Hypoid Gear Oil SG1 as in addition to 0.45 quarts for front transfer case, the rear differential needs ~0.8 quarts instead of 0.45 quarts specified in owners manual.
Thanks for the response.
I tried to ask the dealer about the ATF change and have the cartridge change as well. It would cost around 500+... man that is expensive. It was never changed since new.
For the belts. serpentine is around 44 and water pump belt is 20. but the labor of each is around 130.
Prices are in Canadian dollars.
Wondering if the oil change for the transfer and differential can be DYI.
