Wow! Congrats on the mileage. I own a 2016 Mazda cx-5 with 141000, and had no real issues. Had to have the lower control arms and outer tie rods replaced. On my third set of spark plugs, and have already done one cooling system drain and fill, and one drain and fill on the transmission. Other minor repair was the neutral park switch went out, and the rear calibers/brakes had to be replaced. Had the belt replace with the tensor once, and the rear door windows, there is a card in inside that broke. Otherwise very few repairs almost all of the work I would consider basic maintenance. On my third set of tires. and average about 14 thousand miles a year. Knock on wood, no air conditioning issues. But I do see notice the trans to be late in shifting down on hills. I have figured out how to get to shift down to prevent that, but I usually switch over to manual shift mode to avoid the stress on the transmission. As for rotors I usually replace the rotor after they have had their first resurface on them. Just due to the fact that they tend to warp. Which has saved me a lot of brakes issues. On my second set of pads, and on my third set for the rear. Ride is still good, and I don't have heated seats. When I got this car it had 42700 miles pretty well maintained and the car still looks good outside and inside. Thank you for the great video it just confirms how how the 2016 model year is for Mazda.
This is the video I've been waiting for, I understand that now that I'm at 108k miles I'm in good shape and I can be calm. Regarding the transmission, under the airbox you have a white oil dipstick that is closed with a 10 mm screw. It can be easily removed. Interesting video as always. Thank you and 👍
You have gave me the information and knowledge that I needed. I am getting rid of my SUV for this. I have been watching your videos and I really want a 6. I will get mine next year. The prices are really good 💯. Thanks brother.
The serpentine & AC Belts should be replaced every 100k miles as a maintenance but the problem with Mazda is the tensioner & engine water pump seems to fail within 150k miles, Every 100k miles I have to replace the belts & tensioner & engine water pump on my Mazda 6 2017 they known to fail sooner or later so just replace them with the belt. I am shocked how the Spark plugs lasts 285k miles :) maybe the car runs fine but uses much more gas than it should but 285k miles that's a lot. I believe you had to replace the oil pan because you didn't regularly replace the oil pan's plug/drainer & gasket every 10k. The high/low fuel pressure pump failure it's known to fail on Mazda 6 but I don't believe it's an issue with the fuel pump itself I think if the user changed the fuel filter regularly every 70k it wouldn't fail. The suspension parts is a bit expensive but if you replace it it would last very long. If you considered changing the transmission fluid please also change the transmission cooler it always fails after 200k and mix the engine cooler with the transmission fluid. I am curios to know what oil viscosity you use. Huge thanks for the video :)
Thanks for the comment! I didn’t notice a difference in gas mileage after I changed the spark plugs but it’s likely there was some difference. I’m guessing that’s true about the oil pan plug. I doubt it was changed. Likely true on the fuel pump as well. I don’t have record of it being done unless it was part of the Emission System Flush. The oil I use is Castrol Edge 5W30. Full Synthetic.
Flushing old Gearbox IS a big no-no, all the sludge come loose, you won't be able to get all out unless you do 2-3 total flushes with gearbox oil change machine...much better to just change oil. Thats unless you actually have changed olis regurarly, then you can flush it with gearbox flush additives.
@@jkarra2334- there’s no sludge inside automatic transmissions. 🤦🏻♂️ Have you ever even SEEN a transmission oil pan removal and noticed how CLEAN the internals are, even with DARK, Burnt, Nasty old oil coming out of it???? There’s nothing producing carbon inside a transmission.
Right? But his driving style is the definition of “easy on the vehicle” Plus it’s a solid model of a car on top as a cherry. Any other turd would have broken down dozens more times for all we know. It’s a lottery with vehicles. 🤷🏻♂️

Interesting, i love reliable cars
I forgot include one engine mount on the passanger side. Which I consider to be a repair. The pillow was beginning to crack and leak.

So you made it to the end of the video! That’s awesome. Thank you! I’ll take a look at that. Thanks for watching and for your continued support.
You have gave me the information and knowledge that I needed. I am getting rid of my SUV for this. I have been watching your videos and I really want a 6. I will get mine next year. The prices are really good 💯. Thanks brother.
That’s great to hear! I’m glad these videos have been helpful. I hope you have the same experience I’ve had. Thanks for watching!
Cost per mile is excellent 👏👍
That is impressive.

Highway miles apparently; I have old 2008 Mazda6i and it’s on 260k miles
Mazda makes great vehicles btw
The dealership will do drain and fill or Flush for the transmission depending on mileage.
👍🏼

There’s nothing producing carbon inside a transmission.
If you had the interior professionally detailed and the exterior cleaned up, you could drive it another 200,000 miles!
My 2017 3 has 185k. Original engine, transmission never serviced. Only issue i had were control arm and engine mount.
Congrats on not maintaining your gearbox. 😂 🤦🏻♂️
It’s a throw away item after you’re done with it. 😤
Ever hear of preventative maintenance?. Never doing a cerpentine belt until it blows?, plugs at 285🤣. Buddy, you just got lucky lol.
