Should I change my fluids and belts

Topic starter

We have a 2014 Mazda 6 with 86000 miles and owned it since new with no issues.  Should we change the transmission fluid/filter, coolant, and belts now?  Spark plugs were changed about 15,000 miles ago and we have kept up with oil and filter changes completing them before the recommended mileage.  

Thank you


Thank you

Should we change the transmission fluid/filter

What do you have? manual? automatic?

automatic: every 60k

coolant

Should be described in the owner's manual. Or you can ask your dealership service desk.

Probably every 60k or 5 years.

 

, and belts now?

serpentine belt needs to be inspected

 


Automatic transmission. Neither have been replaced before. Only air filters, spark plugs, and regular oil changes. Vehicle runs like a dream. Belts look good but will be replaced. Very glad this has a timing chain. Thanks for your comments

You should have changed the trans fluid and filter at 30-50,000 miles.  I hope your transmission isn't damaged.


Thank you

change the transmission fluid/filter,

Yes. Drain, refill and no flush. Check FAQ for more info.

coolant,

Check the color before changing.

and belts

Check with a mechanic before changing the belts. You could change it now if you wanted to.


Belts look good but I’m going to replace them anyway. Thank you!
