Nope - you leave it then until the odometer reads 54,000 again. 
Sorry, couldn't resist - yep, you change it at 54K mile intervals. 'Helpful' Mark |

Yeah, deffo a Pro job- Then you have the proof of the change in the documentation, rather than just word of mouth of yourself, if it came round to selling- heaven forbid that you'd actually want to sell!!! :lol:

phone em up and find out .... some say Mazda are expensive, personally I dont think so ... I go to Newbury Mazda £37.50 per hour plus parts ... and they dont always charge what they should do.... I have heard of some Mazda garages charging £60 + per hour tho

Right, I was quoted about £115 for full standard service from trusted backstreet garage. Will be doing it myself next time though. |

My wife works at the local college where they have automotive courses and full workshop. They always need cars for the studenst to work on and all work is checked and supervised by the lecturer, who is a fully qualified mechanic. I get mine serviced for the cost of parts, although outsiders may pay slightly more. Check your local college, if you don't want to do it yourself. May save a few bob. |
