2008 Mazda 6 Maintenance Schedule

You want your Mazda 6 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your 6 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 6 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2008 Mazda 6!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mazda themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 6 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2008 Mazda 6 problems later.

Bring your 2008 Mazda 6 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 6. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2008 Mazda 6 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 6 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mazda 6 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 6) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mazda 6 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2008 Mazda 6's engine run smoother. See Mazda's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2008 6 in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2008 Mazda 6.

Routine upkeep for your Mazda 6 suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Mazda 6 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mazda 6's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Mazda 6 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mazda 6 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Mazda 6 radiator? 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 the place to go for 2008 Mazda 6 maintenance.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.
