I just got the 2016 CX-5 maintenance schedule from dealer. Location: NJ. Driving conditions: 65% HWY.
Dealer said I'll get free oil changes (and I confirmed its their bulk Castrol oil) as long as I adhere to this recommended schedule. The portion free: $44.95, subtracted from the published amount.
1. Is this schedule really necessary, i.e. fuel induction service at 15,000 miles!?
2. What's this fuel and oil additive they are adding?
3. Finally, at 30,000 it's about 650$?! Rear differential/transmission - is that actually required at 30,000?
What my BIGGEST concern is: in NOT following this schedule I forego the multi-point inspection which many tell me is a good preventive measure as in advance I can know of problems and Mazda can fix it, under warranty. By not doing it will this or any dealer deny my warranty? BTW: balancing the wheels every 10,000 miles costs around $30 here in NJ.
