Guys,

Would like to ask for advice for CX5 2.5T. Milage now is 120k km after 5 years.

1. I changed my transmission fluid at 60k km. Now at 120k km, should I just change the fluid & filter? Or should flush the transmission fluid?
SC advisor said better to flush. But I read that there are risk associated with flushing..

2. SC quoted to change these items. Body, Fuel Filter & Filter Fuel Pump. Parts cost alone RM635.00
Or should change them outside and will cost less in view that the car is after warranty.

3. Seems odd that SC didn't mention need to replace the timing belt.... confused.gif

4. Air cleaner. Should I replace with Mazda air filter or get the after market type?


Thanks in advance.

its using timing chain bro.. however, do check the v-belt (alternator belt).

a decent aftermarket air filter will do the job, branded not cap ayam one. however, if the original air filter's price is not much diff from the oem, just get the original.

Thanks & well noted

1. Just change fluid and filter will do
2. Change outside
3. I remembered I changed 2 belt around 100k km mileage..should be the alternator belt. It's not expensive so just change it

SC quoted for changing the 2nos V belts (RM69.30 & RM150) plus labour for total of RM284

No 1 - u already done atf change at 60k km, so next 120k km mileage, atf + atf filter will do fine.

No 2 - body filter mean aircond filter inside dashboard? If yes, can DIY, buy from shopee. Fuel filter can ask outside workshop for quotation and compare it with Mazda SC. But I bet Mazda SC price are much premium vs other brand.

No 3 - timing chain

No 4 - aftermarket will do just fine.

for mazda i-stop nothing last. I-stop is a scam to force you pay more for short lifespan battery

https://www.aesonpower.com.my/products/q85l-ss

you can try the new product claim to have 3yr lifespan

Noted. BTW is there a way to permanently disable the I-stop? Other than using the physical push button...
Since car is after warranty already...
