What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 2024 Mazda 3?

Your Guide to 2024 Mazda 3 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mazda 3, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 3 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 3 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2024 Mazda 3!

Mazda knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 3 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2024 Mazda 3 problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Mazda 3 Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2024 Mazda 3 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 3’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2024 Mazda 3. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 3 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mazda 3 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 3 stranded. Your Mazda 3 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2024 Mazda 3 running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2024 3. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2024 Mazda 3.

Routine upkeep for your Mazda 3 suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Mazda 3 steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mazda 3's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Mazda 3 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mazda 3 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Mazda 3? We’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2024 Mazda 3 maintenance.

Don’t wait until something goes wrong with your car. Visit your nearest location for proactive maintenance today.

Take an active role in maintaining your 2024 Mazda 3. Get answers to common Mazda 3 maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Mazda 3? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When does my Mazda 3 need high mileage oil? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your Mazda 3? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Mazda? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Mazda 3, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
