    Re: Advice on Recommended Service

    Thanks for the advice to you both. Yes, I’ve owned the car since 2012. I’ll leave the steering fluid alone. I was curious about that because I couldn’t find any recommendation in the owner’s manual...

    Advice on Recommended Service

    Hey everyone,

    I’m needing some advice. I’ll just provide a quick overview of my car - 2012 Mazda3 GS Sky with just over 60K. I decided to try out a new shop and brought my car in for a routine oil...

    Re: Needing Advice on Maintenance

    Thanks again for the advice. I've never had my car oil sprayed. I paid for a rust-proof coating at the dealer when I bought the car new. It's some sort of hard coating that doesn't wash off (or so...

    Re: Needing Advice on Maintenance

    I had the ATF changed in April 2016. The owner's manual mentions nothing of it. I wasn't pleased with the cost either.



    Tell me EXACTLY where it says that in the manual. Find my owner's manual...

    Needing Advice on Maintenance

    I'm confused on what kind of maintenance my 2012 Mazda3 Skyactiv needs. The dealer never followed a consistent schedule with me because I have such low mileage and most of my driving is on the...

    Re: Achilles Mazda

    Looks like Achilles Mazda is going to be my new dealership even though it's a bit out of the way for me. I've been wanting to use this dealership for a while to service my 3 since reading all these...
  10. Re: Wow $250+tax for 24k service. Is this price justifiable?

    My 48k service is in 2 weeks. My dealer (Select Mazda in Hamilton) quoted me $240 + tax. :( Cars are so damn expensive. That's the price you pay for convenient transportation!

    Re: someone broke into my car!!!

    The owner's manual says if you lock the car by manually turning the door-lock knob, it doesn't arm the system. You have to either lock the car using the keyless remote or pressing the lock button on...
  12. Re: Mazda 3 skyactiv owners notice any fuel economy improvements after first oil chan

    It's possible. I'm not so sure either. I find the digital fuel gauge to be inconsistent though. I use it as a guideline only. I'm averaging 6.9 L/100 km, so I average 66.4 km per bar (12 bars on the...
  13. Re: Mazda 3 skyactiv owners notice any fuel economy improvements after first oil chan

    I always fill up at a 1/4 tank, and my best tank so far was 686.6 km (mostly highway). I filled up 38.4 L, so my mileage was 42.1 MPG or 5.6 L/100 km. If I continued to run the car to empty, I...

  15. Re: What am I doing wrong? Selling my 2010 Mazda 3 GT

    OP, when did you post the ads? When it comes to selling anything, especially a major purchase like a car, patience is a virtue. You'll find a buyer eventually.

    Post an ad on Craigslist as well -...

    Re: How many kilometer's on your MAZDA 3

    Nice - all regular maintenance by the sounds of it. I was worried when I bought the car because it was a new design, but decided to take the chance anyway. This puts my mind at ease!

    Agreed. I'm also 28 with a clean record - no accidents or tickets since I started driving at 16. I was with TD for the last 2 years and I was paying $2060 annually, even being part of an alumni...

    Don't purchase the dealer winter mats. They are crap! Thankfully, I negotiated them down when I bought my car for a very fair price - free. :p But I'm not impressed with them at all. They have poor...
