Need to mention that is within 5 years or 100k warranty limit. After that is your own already.

Within 5 years also got ATF change and brake pad. I think spark plug also within this period. Then engine oil and filter and air filter.

If within warranty.. If can go change arm bush, absorber, side mirrors, engine mounting and steering rack... Common issues last time so don't know Mazda got improve or not.

Sadly no, brake pad if not mistaken is consider wear & tear items so must pay by owner.
Most Mazda SC wont change the ATF within warranty as it is claim as "Lifetime gearbox" means it will last within warranty. After warranty end is your own already. biggrin.gif Spark plug if not mistaken is during the 5th year or 100k only change coz nowadays most using iridium already. If they tell you change during 50~60k usually is cheating/white lie to comfort the owner. (Coz i personally knew Mazda SC personal/manager)

Engine oil, filter these stuff they will change for free as it is included in the service package (Actually is not free but already included in the car price). The SC personal will file claim with the sales department after service is done.

Talking about brake, the SC told me the rear pads will wear out faster than the front pads. Any comments/experience from anyone ?

All my previous cars experience, the front pad will wear out faster. Or in a way the braking ratio is like 70:30 or 60:40 for front:rear

First time heard rear pads wear out faster than front.
The only thing i can think of is either some dude always play with the parking brake/hand brake a lot, this is the only reason rear brake pads wear out faster.

Yeah, now that you mention, I think the SC also mention the electronic parking brake wears out the rear pad faster. Not sure how true or is bullshEEt , but if any other keyboard-experts can share.

Proper use of electronic parking brake usually wont wear out fast, unless you always drive or park in slopes which will put a lot of pressure on parking brakes. This is stupid, as original brake pads if driven moderately some owners cross 100k also not yet change.

1 more.. the auto tensioner .. i got mine claim 1 under warranty and replace one with my own pocket after warranty.. not sure why my auto tension doesnt last as it suppose to..
*
Auto tensioner usually spoilt is due water went inside rust, if you always go car wash with high water jet pressure just dont continue. My mechanic few times change those spoilt auto tensioner got rust water flow out of it, mostly due to car wash or flood. Mazda parts are sensitive to water intrusion, he got 1 cx5 with the rear boot electric damper spoilt also water intrusion (Cost around 3.9k to replace the stupid damper bangwall.gif )

never wash engine for the entire 7 years of ownership.. i do simple cleaning and plastic wax.. not rust water but the kind of like grease or oil on the body that attract all kind dust stick on the arm. Maybe like what duckie said.. mine is the unluckily one sweat.gif

high pressure water jet no need direct wash engine water can still go in, you wash around the wheel arch area or front radiator area also can spray inside engine bay. certain pressure, water can by pass a lot of areas as those rubber or plastic covers are design to wistand certain speed/pressure only not as high as those water jet. That why my mechanic prefer those using traditional way, hand with cloth. BTW, not to cause panic Mazda nowadays use a lot of ECU control box similar to continental rides. As for the electric damper fail case, he check and found got 2~3 control box just for the rear boot area. He told me if Mazda cars got electronic issue, better pray hard.
