Maintenance Schedule Questions

[Irenicus]

I bought a 2016 CX-5 GS AWD at 86,000kms in the fall. It's been to the dealership to get serviced twice. Once at 81k and once at 86k before I bought it. I'm sitting at 91k currently on the odometer.

The dealership is telling me I need to do the following
- transmission fluid (flush?) for $410
- engine coolant for $220
- brake maintenance package for $430
- oil change/multi point inspection for $190

Now as far as I know the SkyActiv engines have a lifetime transmission fluid rating and should not be tampered with unless something seriously bad is happening with the drive train. Can someone confirm this?
The maintenance schedule also tells me the engine coolant should be replaced after 200k or 10 years so I suppose that's coming up as it's been 9 years.
I bought new spark plugs a while back as I'm not so sure they've ever been replaced but at 91k I'm not sure it's required. Schedule says every 120k. Might toss these in as they're cheap.

Can someone spin me in the right direction for this stuff? I'm phoning around shops to see what the collective opinion is

Cheers

You might want to shop around on prices. For example, my dealer charges $72 for syn oil change + the multi point inspection.

Transmission fluid (per Mazda) is lifetime, but if you look at the threads here, the consensus is change it! It can't hurt and may well make your tranny last longer.

Coolant is definitely a go.

What is the "brake maintenance package"? I suspect that's just an inspection and lube, if which case $430 is extreme!

If something bad is happening with the drivetrain, it's already too late. Replacing ATF is a preventative measure, just like replacing differential oil and engine oil are preventative measures. Mazda does say that the fluid is a lifetime fluid that doesn't need to be changed, but I wouldn't risk it, especially when you know they won't help you if your transmission fails and you're out of warranty.

Yeah fair enough, apparently the "lifetime" equals lifetime of the warranty which could be 5 years.. I wonder if my local transmission shop would know that it has to be a Mazda Genuine ATF FZ transmission fluid (or does it?)

Guess I'm on the hook for the coolant swap too. Not too sure the brake package.. they lube the brakes and measure the pads/rotors I suppose. Not sure about that one yet

You have quite a distance to cover before you reach 120K km
