rx8 owners manual
Guys please dont flame. I've searched everywhere on here, checked the sticky's and for the life of me I know I've seen a thread somewhere that gave a link to a pdf for the owners manual. I just cant find it!
Any help would be appreciated. I've misplaced my owners manual, and have had some issues with my dealer recently. I want to make sure that they do exactly what it expected on my 30K mile check up which is scheduled to be done tomorrow.
Thanks in advance!

For 30k miles...
REPLACE oil/filter
INSPECT drive belt
CLEAN air filter
INSPECT fuel line, hoses, connections
INSPECT cooling system
INSPECT coolant level
INSPECT function of all lights
INSPECT brake line, hoses, connections
REPLACE brake fluid
INSPECT disk brakes
INSPECT tire pressure and wear
INSPECT steering operation
INSPECT suspension and ball joints
REPLACE manual trans oil
REPLACE rear diff oil
INSPECT driveshaft boots
LUBE locks/hinges
INSPECT washer fluid
Mazda always does everything, I wouldn't worry about it. You can ask them to order you a new owner's manual, they're about $40-45.

Ya know I looked that over on the mazdausa site. and then I checked a past normal service record. They usually do most of those things anyway, accept maybe the brake fluid, and the trans and rear diff oils.....I'm wondering why will it cost me over 500.00 to have this done????...Oh well. Ce la vie!
Thanks for your responses guys. I really appreciate it!

If you are the least bit mechanically inclined you can do all that yourself and have the satisfaction of knowing it was done right. Then you can take the money you saved and take your sig other out for a very nice night on the town. Get a car-guy friend to help you. The shop manual is available for free download to guide you through the process if you need it.

I could do it with help, but wouldnt that void my warranty? I'm looking at another 45k miles...I took out the extended warranty, since my sig other is in Iraq 11 months out of the year.

Personally, I keep a log book with everything done to the car and, if needed, I can come up with receipts from my files for oil, filters, other fluids and any parts I have installed. BTW, IMO, the dealer charges for these "scheduled" services are outlandish and totally unreasonable for the services rendered.
Good luck to your sig other and thanks go to him for his service!
