MAZDA Cost of Maintenance/Ownership after YOJIN 3

[polar01]

Would you guys happen to have the PMS list for a Mazda 3? I mean the items to be done per PMS visit?

I have a 1.5 V but this was given to me I don't know why it says 1.6 since wala naman 1.6. I took this pic back in Dec 2016 (40k PMS) because I complained that "Changed spark plugs" was not performed and they said that it was not needed (hence the angle of the pic). Anyways that's more or less what they do.

Thanks sir.

We have a Mazda 2/2016, question with regards to the battery, we just got a test report that the battery should be replaced. Would getting a CTEK CT5 prolong the current battery life?

Or should I just purchase a new one then use ctek on new battery?

Current battery reading is:
VOLTS - 12.22V
MEASURED - 124 CCA
RATING - 355 CCA

TIA

Scrap my question, wala pala kameng istop. LOL!!!

For your peace of mind, buy a new one and that CTEK battery charger. On the other hand, if you like to have some sort of "adventure" like me, you can buy a jump-start battery for you to continue using your old battery.

In a way, you are "extending" the life of your old battery. In other words, you'll be delaying the inevitable of buying a new battery. In case the battery died, you use your jump-start battery to start your engine. Your next stop is a battery shop.

Personally, I would just replace it with a new battery.

Unless you are maintaining multiple batteries or have a car that just sits in your garage for weeks and months, I find it hard to justify the price of a battery tender. I would just keep my battery and replace it once it's dead.

I believe that you can justify the cost of a battery tender once you have extended the life of your battery for a year or two.

In my case, my battery cost about 20k. I don't have plans to replace it next year so I am using CTEK battery charger. Plus, I always bring a jump-start battery.

If the cost of the battery is more than twice of the battery tender, it makes sense. You'll get your ROI much quicker.

From experience, a good tender does extend regular batt life around a coupla years. CTEK is worth getting.[emoji106]

Spark plugs and ATF fluid panay "inspect" lang up to 60K. Surprisingly low maintenance.
