Oil filter at 400 and both cabin and air filter at 800. Atf FZ at 900 pesos per liter.

Are the prices same with casa?

900 per liter of ATF FZ. Were you able to check how much with casa? Iirc, skyactiv drive needs close to 8 liters. That's gonna cost 7k plus labor medyo madugo. Pero if intervals are at 80k, not so bad.

8L FZ was what I refreshed for the 1.5 SkyG. FZ fluid was Php650/liter & Php2500 for the FZ01-21-500 filter/strainer, both off the dealership. Did this out of curiosity upon hitting 50k of mixed traffic. Very DIYable. Drain w/ sump removal & filter replacement was 4.2L. Filter was clean & change may have been too early. Did a 2nd drain & fill w/ 3.8L. No noticeable performance & op temp range change(monitored thru Scangauge) felt. The swap may have been too soon for something labeled lifetime. I reckon 80-100k should be about right.
Curiosity satisfied. Mind peace bought.[emoji4]...Oh, dipstick has corresponding 50°C(OBD monitored) tranny temp-fluid level mark. The scangauge came handy.[emoji106]

Sounds reasonable. Where'd you source the fluids? Will probably do mine soon, 60k with a lot of highway is early from what I read too, but I feel some hesitation in shifting on low revs.

Provincial dealership. Promdis don't bite nor slap as hard as northerners, I guess?[emoji848]

Leather seat cleaning

I repeated paint polishing as the polish I used didn't remove water marks... used Mothers rubbing compound. I find it more like a polish than a rubbing compound..

Carpet deep cleaning.. Used my steam cleaner.. some liquid laundry detergent to agitate and loosen dirt.. steam cleaned to penetrate then vacuum clean.. you can see dirty water sucked into the vacuum.

Looks great! I hope I have one of those steam cleaners. I just use Meguiar"s Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner and Conditioner for my leather interior as it does not leave the oily and shiny finish which I hate.

And I waxed mine last week during the holiday, Collinite 845 really brings out the Soul Red beauty:

Cleaned rear brakes and torqued to spec and cleaned under chassis and wheel well liners.

I dont like the liners.. they are soft and good sound absorber but they also absorb water and trap dirt..

Looks like mazda alabang only emptied brake cleaners during yojin.. scrubbed brake dust on the wheels and the brake calipers..

Cleaned the wheels and torqued to spec

Good job! What brake lube did you apply? Permatex?

Took me 1.5 day for the whole job. Very tiring to work in 35 deg hot humid day
