2012 Mazda CX-9 Maintenance

Take care of your Mazda CX-9 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your CX-9 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get CX-9 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2012 Mazda CX-9!

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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your CX-9's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 Mazda CX-9 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Mazda CX-9 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your CX-9's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2012 Mazda CX-9 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your CX-9 may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mazda CX-9 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty CX-9) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mazda CX-9 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
