The 2016 Mazda CX5 factory specs have listed that the brake fluid recommended for the vehicle is SAE J1703 or Dot-3. You will be able to find the correct brake fluid listed on the cap of the brake reservoir or in the owners manual. The cost for replacement brake fluid will range from $5 - $15 depending on the brand and quality of the fluid. The service interval recommended by the manual is to bleed brakes and replace fluid every 2 to 3 years. Normal brake operation will lead to the need of flushing and bleeding brake fluid. However a flush and bleed service can be performed if the fluid is noted to be excessively aged, filthy, and dangerous to rubber braking system components.
