ATX Transmission Fluid!
When refilling the power steering fluid in your Mazda 6, it is important that you use ATX transmission fluid as stated in the manual, and NOT power steering fluid.
It should also be noted that for Mazda 6's with an auto tranny, there is an "MV" on the trans dipstick, that DOES NOT indicate that those cars take Mercon V. That symbol indicates that your car takes Mazda 5 (AKA M5) transmission fluid. M5 is a specific mazda grade fluid that can only be purchased from a dealer or company that has the ability to order Mazda genuine parts.
Don't be afraid to mod your car!
According to the Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975, the dealership must prove the modification to your car caused the failure in order to void the warranty. For example, they can't deny coverage of a failed clutch by saying your aftermarket HID kit caused your clutch to fail, but they could claim your 8lb aftermarket flywheel contributed to it's early failure and rightfully void the warranty on your clutch.
Also note that some dealership service departments will refuse to do warranty work on a car that's modded, but aren't actually voiding the warranty, they're just refusing to work on it. In cases such as that, it's best to just find another dealership that will agree to work on your car.
