A Guide to MAZDA Maintenance Milestones

Routine and preventive Mazda maintenance lets you enjoy many years—and many miles—behind the wheel of your favorite vehicle. Proper maintenance means understanding the ideal service schedule for your vehicle based on how long you’ve had it and how much you drive. Here’s a breakdown of the milestones from the friendly pros at Bakersfield Mazda.

Time-Based Milestones

Even if you don’t rack up a ton of mileage, you’ll still need occasional Mazda maintenance to ensure all systems are working properly. Every six months, we recommend scheduling an appointment for an oil change, tire inspection, brake inspection, and windshield wiper swap. Every year, you’ll need new brake fluid and air filters, and every three or so years, you’ll probably be ready for a new battery and spark plugs.

Mileage Milestones

There are also service tasks that need to be tended to on a mileage basis. This is especially important for drivers who put on more miles than average. Schedule a Mazda maintenance appointment with our dealership when you hit these milestones:

• 15,000 miles: new air filters and alignment check
• 30,000 miles: transmission service, spark plug replacement, HVAC service
• 60,000 miles: suspension service, belt replacement, new tires

If you notice symptoms that your vehicle needs more urgent service, don’t wait for these milestones. Signs it’s time to make an appointment include the dashboard lights illuminating, difficulty handling the vehicle, and strange sounds or smells when you drive or press the brake pedal.
