Thumbs up Giving the dealer a miss...

Hey guys,
Cars up for its 110 thou service (although it was rebuilt only 25 - 30,000 ago).
I wasn't really happy with the price and service of Wollongong Mazda last time, so l've decided to go with my mechanic. Anyway, l've done a bit of a search and l've come up with the following which l'll need:

Oil filter
Oil 5L (l just use the MRO...)
Sump plug
Sump plug gasket

Is there anything else l've missed, like the cabin filter? Also not to sure on where to get the parts from (other then the stealership), any recomendations?

Cheers.

If you want go to onlinemazdaparts.com for things you need like spark plugs, cords and ignition coil if has not been changed when rebuilding (which I think unlikely)

I use the attached Excel file for what to do. Its a work in progress and based on the Mazda Service Schedule for the Series I.

Cheers

Thanks guys (especially for the spreadsheet!),
I ended up picking up the following from the dealer, prices are what l paid:

Oil Filter $15.35

Gasket Sump Plug $1.21

Motor Oil Rotary 5L $74.33

Will also look into picking up some leads, plugs seem alright though, atleast for the next service.
