I'm getting close to 30K miles service of my P5.
Can you help and answer a few questions?
I don't want to take it to the dealer, very high cost and not really sure about the work quality (around $500 wit tax)
I do drive my P5 the way it asks to be driven, taking advantage of it's great handling/steering/braking.
My rotors are begining to show some wear (not as linear and some vibration when braking hard at high speed), pads are about 70% done in front and 50% done in the rear)
Any rotors/pads recommendations?
I want to :
1. Do a full tranny service (Automagic) I want to use Mobil1 ATF full synthetic tranny fluid.
2. Use Mobil1 ATF as my power steering fluid, flush it etc.
3. Use Valvoline Synthetic brake fluid DOT3/4 compatibile, flush it
4. Change spark plugs to NGK iridiums

Should I check my A/C system (here in Florida we use it most of the time)?
What else would you service at 30K miles?
What do you thing about my choices?

 

Check your Owner's Manual for a complete chart of regular maintenance. The list should also give you some ideas in case you forgot anything else you had been meaning to fix/inspect. And for just the fluids you mentioned and the brake work...your dealer wanted $500? Ouch...

 

yeah my dealer was at $470 = taxes and all fluids used would be standard Mazda fluids.
I will have my mechanic do the work for half of the dealer's price.

I will do it partialy, starting with tranny service and spark plugs and after a month I'll do brakes fluid and power steering flush.
Hopefully I can turn my rotors, buy new pads and it will last another 15K miles before I'll have to buy new rotors.
