    I didn\'t see anything about a tire rotation in any of those service check-up\'s.
    Does anybody know when the suggested time to rotate our tires is?

    8K - @ every oil change.. just keep in mind where you leave the tires when you put winters on (mark them up LF,RF,RR,LR)

    Default Re: Replying to Topic \'Mazda3 maintenance schedule\'

    Can some one please explain to me why people are paying Mazda $200 for what Mr. Lube does for $45.

    Seriously....

    Schedule 2 states the only thing done at the 48,000KM is oil and filter change, the rest is just looking at the car.

    I have a K&N so no air filter needed.

    Mr Lube lubes the doors as part of their $45 service.

    The only thing Mr Lube doesn't do is tighten bolts on body.

    Understandably Mr Lube is just an example for those that will flame about Mr Lube.

    For that matter all the other service events are just air filter, oil, oil filter and tighten chassis.

    Its not until 100,000km that you really start replacing things and that's not in the warranty.

    I remember something about getting your oil changed not at the dealer does not void your warranty.

    Understandably the inspection could find something to be replaced under warranty.

    Interesting note in 2007 Mazda 3 owner manual:

    Improper owner maintenance during the warranty period may affect warranty coverage. For details, read the separate Mazda Warranty statement provided with the vehicle. If you're unsure about any servicing or maintenance procedure, have it done by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

    Your forgetting the $200 service includes Brake Servicing also! ...I don't think Mr. Lube offers that!

    I had my 24000KM service at Ajax Mazda, the damage $217. I think I got suckered, ah well, I did have my rims re-finished because of bubbling / rusting.
