Mazda CX-5 Recommended Maintenance Schedule
The recommended service schedule for a Mazda CX-5 includes an oil change and filter replacement. Changing the oil regularly helps remove debris that can damage your engine. Another essential service you should have performed on your Mazda CX-5 is a 7,500-mile checkup. Other recommended service items include tire rotation and inspection of the belts and hoses. A technician will also check your vehicle’s brakes, fluid levels, and other components.
Multi-point inspection
If you haven’t scheduled a multi-point inspection on your Mazda CX-5 Recommended Maintenance Schedule, it is time to do so. A Mazda-certified technician will visually inspect all of your car’s most essential components. A multi-point inspection is part of your vehicle’s recommended service schedule and should be performed every seven thousand miles.
Oil change
The Mazda CX-5 maintenance schedule includes 34 different types of services. Oil changes, brake fluid, and filter changes are some of the most frequent services, so keeping up with these schedules is essential. Mazda recommends changing your oil every 7,500 miles or twelve months, depending on the mileage. Visit the Mazda service department to find out when it’s time for an oil change. You can also use RepairPal to get fair price estimates.
Cabin air filter replacement
Your Mazda CX-5 has a cabin air filter that collects dust, pollen, and other irritants that are carried inside the vehicle. Just like the air filter in your home, you should replace the cabin air filter on time to maintain clean air inside. The recommended cabin air filter replacement service schedule will vary based on your mileage and model year.
Alignment
Wheel alignment is one of the essential service tasks on your Mazda CX-5 recommended maintenance schedule. An adequately aligned wheel will maximize fuel efficiency while reducing the wear and tear on your tires. You’ll notice a few common warning signs of misalignment, including pulling to the left or right, uneven tire wear, and crooked steering when driving straight. But if you don’t notice any of these signs, it’s best to schedule your alignment check now.
Brake pads
Changing your brake pads is a critical part of driving a Mazda CX-5. Your brakes should be checked and replaced regularly based on the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule. If you’re a sporty driver, you may notice that your brake pads are wearing out much faster than they should. In addition, heat from your engine can lead to premature rotor wear. To avoid this, it is best to replace your brake pads regularly to extend your Mazda’s life.
Coolant replacement
Your vehicle’s engine should be serviced at least once every seven years or 120,000 miles. The Mazda CX-5 recommended maintenance schedule includes a coolant replacement at this interval. Although the cooling system is designed to last for years, it will eventually need to be flushed to prevent corrosion and scale deposits. In addition to replacing the coolant, your vehicle should have its spark plugs replaced every six months or 60,000 miles.
