Powertorq is also another good option for an oil change service. The head mechanic is very easy to talk with. He would even give recommendations where to buy the spare parts (usually Mazford along Visayas ave).

Not good experience with these guys. Had an ATF dialysis done. They forgot to put back the engine cover after. Had to drive back to get it.

The japanese meaning of lifetime (in terms of car life), as some of us would interpret here, is only 5 years...

our tongue-in-cheek definition of "lifetime warranty"...
"when the engine or transmission breaks down, its lifetime is over, and so is the warranty".

Well "sealed" type na yun transmission ko. Automatic CX-5 diesel. It has a screw holding the transmission dipstick so you need to unscrew it pa to check.

There is a "documentation" I found that suggest that "lifetime" is about 293,000 miles (approximately 470,000 km).

1st post at * 325,9 miles | Mazda 6 Forums

I plan to replace the transmission oil at 60,000 km but I'm contemplating if I should drop the pan so as to replace the filter/strainer.

I'd say between 80-100k kms would be a good interval....not the Skyactiv lifetime fluid claim.[emoji4]

Oh....Again, ONLY USE Mazda FZ A/T Fluid for all Skyactiv A/Ts.

sir trav, just want to ask if did you change also the AT filter or just the transmission fluid? Planning to replace mine before it reach 80k km. Thanks [emoji16]

I recently watch a video of scotty kilmer regarding AT transmission fluid he says do not flush meaning dont use dialysis method for AT transmission fluid?
