Front left wheel, there's some small grease leak with this part (CV joint?)

Probably still ok, no need for replacement yet? Although I do hear some faint clanking noise when turning the car to the left uphill.

Last oil change Dec 2020. Odometer change 300km. Going to have an oil change today. Overkill?

... if it conforms to the generic how-ner's manual's recommendation of "every X kms or 6 months, whichever comes first"...

Is axle boot torn? Check brakes.

The oil change was overdue by 10 months. I was planning to do the oil change this december but went ahead with the ₱3,700 pms promo for out-of-warranty skyactiv mazda.

The grease leak is coming from the front left wheel ball joint just right under the front suspension arm.

Axle boot not yet torn according to mechanic. I was advised to closely monitor the leak.

Also had the brakes cleaned and lubed.

I will probably have it inspected at Mhonworks next summer

if it's not torn,
it must be loose.
how else will there be a leak?

i remember in your youth,
the ball joint rubber was torn.
to save money, as were still NSDB scholars back then (NaSa Daddy ang Bayad),
we wrapped it using strong plastic, para hindi mabasa.
"tumagal naman".

For those who upgraded their infotainment system with Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, so far no issues or quirks? I'm planning to have mine upgraded.

I am considering this Android head unit:

Aftermarket Android Head Unit / Ownice C9 K5 B /upgraded to K7 C97 / Mazda 6 216 | Mazda 6 Forums

You have the option to install CarPlay, TPMS, 360 camera, and others for an additional cost. What I like here is that the TPMS and camera is fully integrated.

I am not so sure about the commander knob if it's fully functional. It seems everything you can find in the stock head unit is there.

Recently my infotainment could not connect to CarPlay but could charge naman my iPhone. When I upgraded my iPhone recently, nag work na haha. So if you’ll encounter the same problem, upgrade you’re iPhone haha. Siguro need lang ng software update ng iPhone mo in case that happens with you.
