MAZDA Cost of Maintenance/Ownership after YOJIN 3

[erick_214]

Casa dont recommend using a non istop battery, so, use at your own risk.

During heavy traffic, i always deactivate istop but during moderate or light traffic, im using it. Istop batteries are not made for our traffic situation here in metro manila, will surely deteriorate fast.

The i-Stop batteries (either from official Mazda or Motolite-branded) are deep-cycle types. They can be discharged to less than 50% their capacity and atill work. Normal car batteries at that condition has to be discarded. Downaide is they are heavier and morw expensive.

I would expect if you service thru dealers it will be more expensive than your toyotas or hondas.

babawiin talaga ng mazda yan yoijin, either thru their srp yan imputted na or thru future services and parts sales that is more expensive than usual.

Not long ago i inquired in two dealerships cost of the cabin filter and its 3500 if i recall, thats as expensive as bmw cabin filter, dealers price. Smuggled oems 1500 only.

Toyotas, hyundais, etc ave 1500 only at dealers, cheaper outside, and even more cheaper if oem.

I expect the other consumables to be priced higher also than usual.

Like what others have mentioned have it serviced in your trusted mechanic, cheaper and you know service is really done and done properly.

I joined this site to ask questions about pickup trucks. Isuzu DMax to be exact. But we reviewed our priorities and settle for a car instead. I've searched online for different variants, according to our needs, and decided to go with Mazda 3 Skyactiv V. That Yojin3 offer is hard to resist and not to mention, this car is a looker. Were planning to buy it this week and even pay the reservation fee for the color we want. So yes, is it really that expensive to own a Mazda vehicle after the Yojin3 expires? Are the parts that rare compared to Ford vehicles? Were planning to keep the car for more than 5 years.

2 years, 3 batteries already? Is it that bad?

Maybe you can switch off the i-stop system and let the car run on the usual engine power. It may not be as efficient as Mazda claim it to be but it may preserve the battery longer than a year.

Never used the i-stop sir, i'd make sure its always turned off, even dealership don't have any idea what to do.

Do other Mazda6 owners encounter the same thing? Have you tried using a different brand of deep-cycle batteries?

Something is wrong with your system or maybe pangit ang battery na binibigay sa iyo. Dapat under warranty yan and 1 strike pa, pwede ka na mag-invoke ng lemon law
