2014 Mazda 3

[Walter]

The Mazda 3 has more "soul" than the Corolla and Sylphy.

Yun sa aking around 20km lang pagkadeliver sa bahay namin. From Greenhills to QC.

Mga 3KMS yung sakin. Sinadya ko kasi sa casa ako na yung nag-uwi.

[go-to-guy]

Can't remember exactly, I think 6 or 8km. Picked it up sa casa.

Mga 20+ sakin. The unit came from the Quezon Ave branch and I picked it up from Pasig.

First PMS tomorrow. Anything I need to know? I don't use the car much. Sa Mazda Alabang are we allowed to watch them service the car? Will they be changing anything or not since it's only the first PMS and the car has only 300+kms? Worried about some stories I read about other casas like Toyota and Mitsubishi that say they replace parts or are supposed to change the oil when in fact they don't or even steal some parts etc. I hope Mazda isn't like this.

[JohnM]

I don't know how the Alabang casa is laid out but I had no problems at all sa Pasig. There are big windows right in front of their service bays and they don't object to owners entering the area as long as you don't get in their way (or get crushed by the lifter ).

Nothing will be changed or replaced sa 1st PMS. They will basically go over the car, check that all the systems are working, check tire pressures, check fluids, and tighten bolts. The actual procedure takes less than 30 minutes if you opt out of the free car wash like I did.

I went a little over 1000kms and I was warned not to go over 5k on the next PMS or risk having to pay for the service. As long as you don't breach the mileage or time span stipulated on Yojin 3's TOS then you should not be asked to shell out a single centimo. Free coffee pa while you wait.

[go-to-guy]

That's what I thought. Thanks John. Nung pinickup ko nga ang unit (which took a while din considering di naman sila Toyota na maraming kumukuha ng units everyday) wala man lang alok na free coffee of iced tea hehehe, no biggie.

btw do you guys use windshield washer fluid or just plain water? I've never used washer fluid before and was planning to buy one. sa ngayon kasi water lang nilagay ko.

[kimbon]

Are you saying no changed oil & replaced oil filter sa 1kms or 1st PMS?

Nada. Baka they will change your oil if you insist and pay for it

1k PMS ng CX5 ni erpat same procedure din. 5k na sya nag change oil.

I use washer fluid on my other car for additional lubrication. Pero kung naubusan na talaga and wala na akong stock I will use a bit of water until I get another bottle of fluid.

Yep look see lang

Toyota and Mitsu change oil agad at 1k. Personally I would prefer changing the oil din at 1k.

Mazda Alabang ako pare; ok naman ang service nila, and yes, you can look while they are doing their job.

Tightening bolts and inspection of fluid levels nga lang talaga.

Wow teka anong advantage ng washer fluid over water? San nabibili yan? 😊😊

[boomshine]

I just saw a blue mazda 3 2014 sedan while traversing EDSA, does it mean blue color is already available locally?
