I'm coming up on 30,000 miles on our 2019 CX-5. Dealer says we need to have them do a brake fluid flush and replace fluid in both differentials. For a mere $750.00 before taxes. Ha. Most here say neither is required at all per Mazda. Is IT? Through the years many have suggested changing brake fluid about every 3 years on all kinds of cars, so I guess that is not a bad idea, but timing there ought to be flexible. Differential fluid changes I've done many time in older vehicles. Pull drain plug, drain, replace fluid. In later years many cars deleted the drain plugs and to change fluid the rear cover must be removed which entails a replacement gasket.
What does my CX-5 have?
Lastly, as we're now beyond our BtoB warranty, but within the drive train warranty, I want to be careful to satisfy warranty requirements. I know an independent certified mechanic is or ought to be recognized as fine for warranty work.
I have no intention of paying what the dealer wants to do simple work.
Thoughts? Warranty satisfaction?
