In 2016, Mazda CX5 factory specifications state that the recommended brake fluid for the vehicle is SAE J1703 or Dot-3. You can find the correct brake fluid information on the cap of the brake reservoir or in the owner's manual. The cost of replacing brake fluid typically ranges from $5 to $15, depending on the brand and quality. The manual suggests bleeding brakes and replacing fluid every 2 to 3 years. Regular brake use may require flushing and bleeding of the brake fluid. However, if the fluid appears excessively old, dirty, or hazardous to rubber brake system parts, a flush and bleed service may be necessary.
