Ask Peruzzi MAZDA: What Are The Top 10 Maintenance

Whether your car needs an oil change, a tire rotation, or a coolant flush, our Mazda maintenance professionals have what it takes. There are lots of important procedures required to keep your vehicle running smooth, and here are our top 10.

Oil Change

The Mazda cars of today require an oil change every five thousand miles or so. Fresh oil minimizes engine friction and promotes healthy performance.

Engine Air Filter

The frequency of an air filter change depends on the age and mileage of your Mazda Miata or Mazda CX-9. The cleaner the filter, the fresher the air is that’s delivered to your engine.

Fluids

Key fluids such as coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid, as well as motor oil, need to be consistently checked, topped-off, and flushed.

Windshield Wipers

Good visibility is critical, which is why we consistently check your car’s windshield wipers and replace them as soon as they start streaking.

Battery Terminals

Clean battery terminals ensure a strong connection between your car’s battery and the electrical systems it powers. We check your battery regularly for signs of corrosion and clean it up right away.

Lights

Driving without a headlight or taillight can earn you a ticket – not to mention, put your safety at risk. We inspect all of your car’s lights so that any bulbs that are broken or expired are replaced immediately.

Spark Plugs

Spark plugs last a long time, but when they fail it doesn’t take long for your engine’s performance to worsen. At around 60,000 miles, the Peruzzi Mazda maintenance team will keep a close eye on these important components.

Drive Belts

The drive belts transfer energy from the engine to several important in-car systems. The serpentine belt should be replaced every 40,000 miles, and the timing belt every 60,000 miles.

Tire Pressure 

Properly pressured tires contribute to optimum safety, fuel economy, and handling. When your car’s onboard computer signals a pressure issue, we’ll take a look.

Tire Rotation

Our team of Mazda dealers recommends a tire rotation at intervals of around 7,000 miles. This procedure ensures that all four tires wear evenly, as opposed to one or two tires wearing out too fast and compromising performance.
