What are the major maintenance operations apart from oil change and checking this and that, and at what milage?

Brake fluid must be changed every 2-3 years

apparently that is not in (some) Mazda literature

Tires must be replaced after 6 years past the date code on the sidewall NO MATTER HOW MUCH TREAD IS ON THEM

* these are both very important safety issues

How can you visually tell when the Brake Fluid needs to be changed? My 17' has 20k miles. I thinking pretty soon then? I do all of my service at Mazda if that helps.

Visual test would just be for the brake fluid level in the reservoir. You need to get a little meter that can read moisture content in the brake fluid. 2% or more moisture, replace it. Usually replacing every couple of years should be sufficient.

So, it's probably about time on my 2017 GT, eh?
 
My Mac computer is screwed up and I have to use an on screen keyboard which I forget to use sometimes.
