2014 Mazda 3

thanks. found one in ATC - Martin's. but they don't adjust iStop settings

If iStop functions normally after batt swaps, there will be no need to perform the relearning procedure.

I am now using Amaron for my car battery. Replaced my Motolite EFB last December and so far I haven't encountered any problem or compatibility issues with the Skyactiv engine. Regarding the iStop settings, when I got the new battery, my iStop just reset automatically after a few hours of use so I did not anymore bother going to Mazda. I called Mazda after a week and told them about the automatic resetting of my iStop. The service advisor told me it should be fine and there's no more need for me to bring my car to the casa for resetting.

We would appreciate your feedback on here upon Amaron expiry, sir. We need to archive the long term performance of different available batts & see how the non-EFB Amaron fares vs the EFB Motolite & EFB Delkor on Start/Stop engines. Thanks.

How much did you pay for it?

No payment as it's still within warranty.

I intend to swap the Mazda ATF FZ fluid & filter at 100k km even if spec'd as lifetime. The tranny fluid filter is about Php2.5k from the dealerships. The fluid is available thru MazdaPh & priced not far from this Amazon ad.....
https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Mazda.../dp/B00P2P3HCQ

Note: Skyactiv Auto uses that specific FZ fluid. Do not use any other.

No such thing as lifetime ATF ... BMW tried that before ... and it did not go well for the owners ...

Honda is every 40k or two years to change ATF,
I think this is safe to follow
when i asked mazda for ATF change on my 40k or 3 yrs
They said no need, skyactive design for lifetime ATF use
They are using special kind of ATF

Excellent article from CarGuide PH:

217 Mazda3 Speed: Long-Term Test Wrap-Up | Philippine Car News, Car Reviews, Automotive Features, and New Car Prices | ************

Anyone here experienced something similar to this? From the article:

"Interestingly, purchasing spare parts for the Mazda3 proved to be somewhat difficult, especially if you’re the DIY sort of guy. In our experience, buying anything from the parts department requires you to share your vehicle’s plate number or conduction sticker number. Although this guarantees a proper fit, they’ll also question you as to why you need that particular part. From the looks of it, your vehicle record will be updated too, indicating that you got these parts for your car as well. Telling them that you “need spares” is typically good enough, but it nonetheless caught us off-guard when we’re used to just buying parts without any sort of interrogation."
