what to tell dealer to get newest ECU flash??

I got some Info from teknics and he said I still need the latest ECU flash

Should I just tell the dealer that i ad a friend check the VIN for the ECU flash? Then ask for the newest? Or is there something Else I should tell them...as in the Car is running sluggish?? Its not i just feel more comfortable running the newest flash on the ECU, obviously something was changed for the better in the new flash so...

any advice??

Register your car on Mazdausa.com

make sure you punch in the right VIN

then it will tell you if there is any recall on your car.

cuz it sounds like you havent got the MSP16.

Just bring it in if it saids MSP16 or 4206f or whatever.

if not and you're out of bumper to bumper warranty ... then you might have to go pay an hour of labor to do it,just walk in and tell them exactly what you want "I W ANT THE NEWEST FLASH, I WILL PAY HOUR OF LABOR", thats it.
