Sunlight Silver 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege #1986
hey guys just hit 60k in my 2003.5 sunlight silver. i think ive done everything but i wanted to know what everyone recommends as far as routine... and not so routine maintenance to take care of right now. Any help would be awesome
 
It would be easier to offer advice if you listed what you have done. Besides the basics: plugs, pcv, air filter, coolant & cap, have you changed the gear oil in the transaxle, replaced the brake fluid and what about the 2 drive belts?Your cylinder head cover gasket should still be okay. But check around for signs of leaks. Also check the turbo oil return for traces of oil on the 2 allen head bolts. There's an o-ring in there that will produce a leak at some point.
 
I replaced the radiator, (had to) coolant flush plugs cleaned the air filter new tires about to do brakes. Recently did a front mount just had the oils changed with 5w20 semi synthetic. That's about it. Also replaced the wastegate and had the exhaust manifold and intake manifold tightened up
 
Timing belt.
Inspect rear motor mount.
Brake fluid and transmission oil (if you haven't done that recently)
Inspect for rust (especially in the rear wheel well and trunk floor)
 
thankfully ive done all of these things... or most anyways.. our cars can just be so shaky sometimes i want to stay on top of the maintenance as much as possible..
