^^But Mazda is fine with customers having transmission failures starting idk @80k, 100k, rampant by 120+k? I hear what you guys are saying but I'm gonna roll with what they tell me- if it fails and they do nothing after me screaming at everyone about wtf do you tell ppl not to change/flush the atf (assuming I'm not an anomaly) then I won't buy another one. I highly doubt they want that.
Good point and I'll even say I'm confident you can have an operating skyactiv transmission well through 150k miles. So why do I change my fluid then despite that statement? Its because I feel a noticeable difference in shifting and going into reverse. That in a nutshell is why I do it. If anyone were to drive my 75k mile CX-5 and compare it to their 75k mile CX-5 I'm confident mine would shift smoother. Okay I'm just bragging right now
