Hi.
I bought a 2017 CX-9 in August at 56,000 kms (35,000 miles) and four months later I am at 60,000 kms and just put winter tires on at the dealer.
Three weeks ago the wrench came on, which I understand is an oil or maintenance reminder. I confirmed with the Audi dealership I bought the car from that they changed the oil and checked all fluids, etc. prior to me picking it up. They did not put their own oil reminder sticker on the windshield and just left the old one from the previous owner in a city an hour away. Anyway, yesterday the Mazda dealer confirmed that oil looks good and level is fine and they reset it to the right interval. The invoice says it's reset to come up again in February, six months after the oil change at the Audi dealer. Though I will probably only be at 5k at that point.
Also on that invoice though, it says I am due (recommended) for those three things in the subject line come February. These are new to me and I'm wondering if that's something the rest of you here do. Are they necessary things you have to keep on top of or is it just the dealer trying to upsell me?
In the manual, under Scheduled Maintenance it says Rear differential oil *5, Transfer oil *5. I assume these are the same thing I'm talking about? The *5 simply means replace if submerged in water. So on the table it didn't say "I" for inspect or "R" for replace at any of the intervals.
For the fuel injector, do you guys instead just buy a fuel injector cleaner for a few bucks and use every 5k or 7.5k or whatever?
Invoice:
RECOMMENDATIONS---------------------------------------------------------------------
REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID = $165.95 + TAX
TRANSFER CASE FLUID = $165.95 + TAX
FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING = $156.95 + TAX
