2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata Maintenance

You want your Mazda MX-5 Miata to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your MX-5 Miata. 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 MX-5 Miata maintenance. Just follow your 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata 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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your MX-5 Miata perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata problems.

Bring your 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your MX-5 Miata’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mazda MX-5 Miata 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 MX-5 Miata) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mazda MX-5 Miata won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata engine. To learn how often Mazda recommends you have the oil changed in your 2013 MX-5 Miata, check out the information table at the beginning of this page.
