Maintaining your new Mazda will keep it running right, preserve the long-term value, and get you the longest lifespan from your Mazda as possible. Your Mazda dealership can make sure everything on your service checklist is taken care of at the right time.
The Ultimate Service Checklist at Your Mazda Dealership
Routine Oil Changes
Engine oil lubricates the moving parts of your engine, reduces friction and heat, and cleans the engine while protecting it from rust. Over time, oil gets contaminated with dirt and debris, so follow your Mazda’s recommended service schedule for this. It’s usually between 5,000 and 10,000 miles, depending on oil, model, age, and how you drive.
Tire Care and Maintenance
Regularly check the tire pressure and keep the tires at the levels indicated in your owner’s manual. If you have any issues keeping the tires properly inflated, come see us. Also, see to have your tires rotated and balanced every 6,000 to 8,000 miles to promote even tread wear and prolong their life: typically you just get this done when you get an oil change.
Brake System Inspection
Listen for any unusual noises when applying the brakes, such as squealing or grinding, which may indicate you’ve got worn brake pads or rotors. Have the brake system checked during routine service appointments to ensure everything is functioning like it should and to avoid any unwanted surprises.
Transmission Maintenance
Depending on your model and driving habits, transmission service may be recommended every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Consult your owner’s manual or talk with one of our certified Mazda technicians to get a better idea of what’s right for your vehicle. We’ll make sure the fluid is fresh and doing its job and that none of the components are overly worn.
Battery Maintenance
Once in a while, take a look at your battery terminals for corrosion and to see if it looks like the connectors are good and tight. If you notice signs of a weak battery, such as dimming headlights or slow engine crank, bring it to us to have it tested and replaced, if necessary. Typically, car batteries last between three and five years.
Air Filter Replacement
Air filters prevent dust, pollen, and other contaminants from entering the engine and cabin. A clean engine air filter gets you better fuel efficiency and performance, while a fresh cabin air filter enhances the quality of the air inside your vehicle.
Spark Plug and Ignition System Care
Spark plugs ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine’s combustion chambers, and worn or dirty spark plugs can lead to poor fuel economy, engine misfires, and reduced performance. Regular inspection and replacement about every 30,000 miles or as specified in your owner’s manual help maintain engine efficiency.
