Question on maintenance

sorry.
changed my mind.

Sobrang mahal pala ng PMS ng Mazda ano?

Compared to my Civic, with similar items, it costs less than 10k.

The quote from 1 dealership isn't enough basis for a general conclusion. I always DIY our maintenance, but when I realized the lone local Mazda dealership here had reasonable labor & parts rates, that took away whatever incentive self help would've given. Trick is to ask, opt....not be dictated. [emoji4]

Just have em do oil & filter change. Their deposit cleaner seems 100% overpriced unless they're dropping 2 bottles. My Sky 3 is older & has clocked more kms than yours. The most recent casa PMS early this year set me back Php4940....covered Mazda genuine oil filter, 5liters Shell Helix Ultra 5w-30, Mazda deposit cleaner. Stop there. Have em check your intake & cabin filters. If filthy, your call to grab new ones. Ask for their à la carte service menu...not the buffet.[emoji4]

Oh, ask their parts dept how much a bottle of Mazda FL22 coolant is. It shouldn't be more than P1k for the 1 shown below. Grab 1 for DIY top up.

Finally did the PMS after 1 and a half years. Here's the breakdown after Yojin 3 expires. I had all the checks done and also bought and replaced the front windshield wipers (never been replaced since buying the unit). I wouldn't have done some of those as advised by travs but since I haven't brought it in for a year and a half I figured it wouldn't hurt to have the others done.:

ang mahal pala after ng Yojin-3. (still have 2 years to go)

Pero sa PMS list with Yojin-3 wala naman yung mga xxxxx cleaner.
At usually nasa less than 5k lang ang total bill.


Oil + filter change lang ba ang required?

Woah! that synthetic oil is expensive. And what are those deposit cleaner and oil cleaner? are those additives or engine flush?

I had my oil changed at Motech after Yojin. Just last week cost me just a little over P2,500. Filter, oil flushing fluid and 4L Zic oil. Opted out of coolant top ups and washer fluid) (I do that myself anyway).

Yes. Motech San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. Pricing should be the same for all branches.

Qumagat, eh...

Just got mine done yesterday, initial quote with all the BS is 17K+, told the SA don't need no decarb, it's a waste of money, to make the story short, managed to trim it down to 12.5K.

Previously I had it done outside for half the price but the not so good experience (leaking oil), I think I'm better off if done in the casa, hence.

[togmolodon]

Things that Casa wanted me to replace, except for the front shocks, are they really necessary for a 5 year old less than 50K mileage?

I think the casa is just following their SOP i.e., replacing parts after 5 years even if not really warranted.

Simple answer, get 2nd opinion sa labas ang ipagawa sa labas.

Would also help kung imention mo sasakyan mo

suspension parts? i'd replace them only if they were already showing signs of significant wear, i.e., lagutok.
shocks? only if they don't un-shock anymore.
side mirror? what's wrong with it? and it's probably cheaper, off-casa.

Whoah!!! How are you using your car? Offroad? Rally? Are your struts/dampers leaking? My 3 turned 5, too, clocked a bit more than yours & it's silent & solid. I periodically check alignment & the numbers remain usually w/in spec & dial them back to precise toe & cam numbers.
I even found the stock dampers overbuilt...they refused to die & I had an unopened present of Koni FSDs waiting in the parts bin...[emoji38]

For the suspension bits, bring it to a nearby Servitek and get a second opinion. Free naman ang diagnostic nila.
