Scheduled Maintenance for Your 2013 Mazda CX-5

What is the maintenance schedule for the 2013 Mazda CX-5?

Here’s Why 2013 Mazda CX-5 Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your Mazda CX-5 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your CX-5 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your CX-5, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2013 Mazda CX-5 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mazda, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your CX-5's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2013 Mazda CX-5 problems.

Overview of Essential Mazda CX-5 Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2013 Mazda CX-5 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 CX-5. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2013 Mazda CX-5? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mazda CX-5 battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your CX-5 stranded. Your Mazda CX-5 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 prevent premature wear on your 2013 Mazda CX-5 engine. To learn how often Mazda recommends you have the oil changed in your 2013 CX-5, check out the information table at the beginning 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 2013 Mazda CX-5.

Routine upkeep for your Mazda CX-5 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 the appropriate Mazda CX-5 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Mazda CX-5's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Mazda CX-5 maintenance, 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. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Mazda CX-5 engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Mazda CX-5 radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2013 Mazda CX-5 maintenance and repairs.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.
