My new to me 2010 GT just rolled over 28K miles and I figure now would be a good time to do all the 30K maintenance just to get a good baseline and peace of mind.

Here's my current shopping list with part numbers:

N3R1-14-302 - Oil Filter Series II
9956-41-400 - Oil Drain Plug Washer

N3H1-13-Z40-9U - Air Filter
LDY4-61-J6X - Cabin Filter

9956-41-800 - Trans Fill Washer
9956-41-800 - Trans Drain Washer

9956-21-800 - Diff Fill Washer
9956-41-800 - Diff Drain Washer

Red Line 57904 (75W90) Synthetic Gear Oil - 2 Quarts for the Diff
Red Line 50304 MT-90 75W-90 GL-4 - 3 Quarts for the Transmission

RX8 Coils (C) Plugs and OEM wires - $385.00 Complete set from Mazmart with latest coils

For those familiar, do the part numbers and types of fluids and quantity look correct?

Anything else I should be doing?

I was considering the coolant as well, but the manual states the FL-22 is good for 10 years, 120K miles, replace or don't worry about it?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

This is also the long term recommended maintenance list from us here on RX8Club.com.

Car mileage over 30,000:
- Replace Ignition coils
- Replace Plug wires
- Replace Spark plugs
- Clean MAF (mass air flow sensor)
- Clean ESS (e-shaft sensor)
- Reset ESS profile
- Clean power steering connections
- Clean battery terminals and clamps
- Replace transmission fluid
- Replace coolant (Mazda FL-22 is highly recommended, read this thread for why: Issue Many Are Ignoring: Most Coolants Contain 2-EHA (which 'eats' silicone))
- Replace air filter
- Replace brake fluid (fluid in the brake lines AND the clutch line)
~$300 USD in parts if you shop smartly.

Let me add one personal suggestion, if you plan on keeping this car past the next 30,000 miles I suggest you upgrade now to the BHR Coils and wires which will last the lifetime of your RX8 and deliver a hotter,higher voltage spark for a slight hp and mpg bump. They are a tried and true kit, extremely durable, and BHR is known for great customer support for our RX8 club members. http://black-halo-racing.myshopify.c...nition-upgrade

Just wanted to follow up and confirm all the part numbers were correct and I did a major maintenance and the car runs great.

Also, for the oil filter, from what I experienced and read, it's a bit of an odd size at ~66.5mm and 14 flutes.

I had to go through a couple 65/67mm caps before I found one that just fit and allowed me to torque it down properly.

It's also a tight fit, so try to find a cap that's as low profile as possible.

Amazon has a couple ~66.5mm caps, might be worth a shot.

Just got done installing my BHR ignition and Mazdaspeed exhaust (dual muffler). Love the sound and faster start. Not trying to thread jack but the ignition is DEFINITELY worth it.
