Brought this up to SC in my last visit..
Me: so what if gearbox GG after 100k km?
SC: then change gearbox lol.
Me: how much is a gearbox?
SC: probably 20-25k++?
Me: so why should I not change the ATF oil within this 100k km?
SC: because Mazda said ATF oil is lifetime.
Me: lifetime of the gearbox or lifetime of the car?
SC: *blur and sohai face*
Me: so either you change the ATF oil for me or I change myself
SC: if you change yourself, warranty void
Me: if I don't change and gearbox gg, are you going to cover a new gearbox for me?
SC: no...?
Lmao.
For reference, this SC is Sg. Besi.
the winner is Bermaz & Mazda. We are the loser, thanks to the warranty T&C and "seal for life" atf but capped on mileage. Spend less than rm200 for brand new ATF per 40k - 50k km is recommended.
