Change the oil at a minimum, and do it regularly. Use a quality synthetic high mileage oil and change it again in a couple thousand miles, then change on regular 5k mile intervals.
Brake fluid flush?
Had my 2010 bought new in 2009 Mazda 3GT valve cover done at 119k miles when Mazda tech noticed leak when changing oil, with points check. $450 with oil change and tire rotation.
Upgraded OEM style like hela. The og lights are effectively candles at this point.
I installed it on my RF and there are no issues.
I stick with the Michelin Pilot series.
Great all around and last a long time.
Great mpg.
I've got some Falken Sinceras on my NA. The Discount Tire guy said they were great tires when I asked to buy them. No issues here (I don't drive in inclement weather).
The weatherpeak is a good tire but I find it struggles a bit in the dry/wet compared to other tires in the segment as a trade off for being really good in snow as an all season.
It was a P.O.S. Panasonic battery that is known to die prematurely. Only had 28k miles on the car when it died and had to get it replaced.
The auto shop found out what the problem was as they had replaced two of the ignition coils with OEM and two from a company that produced the ignition coils for Mazda. The two from the company (Delphi) went bad. I have to use only parts from Mazda.
