MAZDA Service Checklist

As a car owner, one of the best things you can do to extend your vehicle’s lifespan and increase your own safety levels is to keep up with Mazda service. There’s a wide variety of tasks to keep track of, making it quite confusing if you don’t know when these procedures are expected to be completed. Our Route 9 Mazda team has created this short checklist to assist you. 

Short-Term Maintenance 

Oil Change: An oil change is one of our most common service procedures. The oil inside your engine helps keep a variety of moving engine parts lubricated to enhance performance and efficiency. You’ll want to get an oil change once every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to keep your engine in good condition. 

Tire Rotation: Another important service task is rotating your tires. This helps extend the lifespan of your tires by making the tread wear as even as possible. We can also perform Mazda tire alignment which returns your tires to the original factory orientation. 

Filter Replacements: There are several filters inside your vehicle, including an air filter inside your engine. This filter ensures that air flows properly to and from your engine and keeps any harmful materials from getting inside.

Long-Term Service 

Spark Plug Replacement: The spark plugs inside your vehicle power your vehicle by igniting the gas and air inside your engine. If you start to feel like your engine isn’t as powerful as it once was, that’s a good indication you need to replace your spark plugs. 

Transmission Fluid Flush: The fluid inside your transmission system keeps it lubricated and makes sure you can smoothly shift gears as needed. If your transmission starts to feel crunchy or won’t let you shift gears properly, you may need to get a fluid flush. 

Serpentine Belt Replacement: The rubber serpentine belt powers your alternator and other vital components. If our team notices any cracks or other damage, we can replace it with OEM Mazda parts.
