My 57 was named Murphy LOL

And yes the best kept vehicle will always have something that need addressing at various stages of its life.

Interesting idea, but we aren't America based. Do you know of any similar labs in New Zealand (or Australia) who offer such a service?

Sorry I don't?
I only recommend shop service with my own personal experience with. Blackstone Labs I have been using for a few decades and close to 100 samples analyzed both personally and through my business?

CX-5 will easily reach 250,000 miles with regular and complete servicing. ( Yes I work on them almost every single day )

I've got a 2015 cx5 w 156k miles. Running fine. Only service done has been oil changes, filters, belt, rear brakes and a thermostat. What service should I do soon? Thinking of spark plugs, transmission and rear diff fluid. Everytime I go to mazda, they check off that everything is OK otherwise.
