Intermittent Servicing

[dOttY]

Hey Guys,

I'm pretty sure Wardski gets an intermittent service every 5000kms and I was just wondering if anyone else does this too? I'm coming up to 5000kms (boy those 9wks flew!) and was wondering if I should get one done?

Thoughts and opinions appreciated!

Cheers

Just do it yourself like i do....

I do my tyre rotation, oil and filter myself at 5000kms...

Then I let mazda do their 10000km service....

I do around 10000km in 3 -4 months...

Happy Motoring

Am considering doing an interim 5000km oil/filter change, question for anyone who does this, what oil and filter do you normally use and do you replace the sump plug washer?

Every 5000 to 7000 kays is a good time to change your oil dOtty. Turbo cars, especially these factory hand grenades pushing 14PSI boost, At least an oil change should be carried out. I have always done this.

Thank God I can go back to the ol trusty Ryco Z9 filter, those canisters Mazda and Nissan, etc have nowdays 5h1t me......

Many types of oil you can use....

Royal Purple, Shell, Mobil, Castrol...its really up to your budget.

Rating I use is 0 - 40

As for the oil filter...you can buy from mazda..isnt expensive and you must replace the sump plug washer...or it will leak oil..they are only a few bucks.
