Questions on Mazda's Service Inspection List on the 8
Hey guys I have a 04 MT and she's got very low mileage around 7000 k............she's basically a weekender and has never seen a winter. I've been looking at the service inspection list and it requires you to replace brake fluid, manual trans fluid, differential fluid, and coolant. These are all required between 24000 Km or every 12 months and 48000Km or 24 months. Just like to ask if you guys would have it all done with the mileage that I had mentioned............you guys really deem it necessary and do you beleive it important to have it done again with that kind of milage. I beleive oil's loose viscosity over time so I'm thinking I should have it done. I'm just leary on what Mazda is going to soak me for to have it all done. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

tranny fluid and differential oils, and need replacing. You probably dont have to replace them if you dont drive it that often, but if you plan on driving it more aggressively I would replace all fluids in the car.
Brake fluid on the other hand absorbs moisture from the air over time, and it just sitting there will degrade whether you drive it or not.
But, if you hardly drive it and when you do drive it around town you dont push it too hard. Then i think you could go longer without replacing the stuff.
If you plan on autox or another high stress activity I would replace everything.
