Come on as if Mazda has no presence in Malaysia? There is NO NEED to replace fuel filter for SG market. Our gasoline is more than adequately clean and it is highly unlikely there will be any dirt that will jam up the filter at 60000km. And please, fuel filter doesn't cost much, less than $100 from stockist or taobao if u want to save even more money Be a smart and savvy car owner, not some one who loved getting their carrots chopped to pieces in the name of so called warranty. in SG, most ADs are the last place one would consider for quick, efficient and affordable svcs. Mazda offers 3 yrs warranty. . But for those AD who offer 5 yrs unlimited mileage warranty, please check EXACTLY what is covered afterall? Chances are its just the engine block after the 3rd year. How often do u blow up the whole engine block ? sgcarmart is your best friend - https://www.sgcarmart.com/directory/listing.php?COM=Mazda&CAT=40&CSW=1 I have never serviced my cars in JB.

Replace: Engine oil, oil filter and fuel filter. Plus the usual checkings. Engine oil and oil filter are cheap. I can't imagine fuel filter to cost too much. Really need advise of folks who has done fuel filter replacement outside (preferably JB). Anybody? As I mentioned earlier, it costs so much is because besides the Fuel Filter, they are also replacing the FUEL PUMP (that is the Arm & Leg cost I believe). I am hoping the other owners who have had their 60k servicing to verify that the fuel pump is indeed replaced at the 60k servicing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody has recommendation for JB workshop that are familiar with Mazda 6? I only know of the local AD there (Azam Motor), price is much better than TEK, but still high.

Fuel pump is generally not a consumable part. Most other makes does not have a replacement schedule for fuel pumps. You only replace it if it does break down, which is very unlikely for modern Japs and Korean cars If what they said is true, don't tell me those PHV Mazda 3 had their pumps replaced every 6-8 mths ?! Will LCR really spend $1100 on each of their Mazda 3 rental cars? Yes you are right, how do we know if the pump was really replaced? One way is to locate the pump on the engine block yourself and make some marks on it with a perm marker. Check if the marks are still there when u collect your car.

Also no AD in SG has explicitly stated warranty coverage for reg svcs jobs. Anyway, $300-400 nett pricing outside vs $1100 at TEK... that's serious $$ just to beat that warranty thingy dead horse. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as we use Mazda approved/recommended consumable parts and not make any modifications to the car. But for those who want to still use their massage chair and eat their Nasi Lemak, you are free to go back....haha 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
