Overview of Essential Mazda MX-5 Miata Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata? 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 MX-5 Miata may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mazda MX-5 Miata 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). 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.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata's engine run smoother. To learn how often Mazda recommends you have the oil changed in your 2024 MX-5 Miata, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 MX-5 Miata.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mazda MX-5 Miata can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle.

If you fall behind on routine Mazda MX-5 Miata 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!). 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 MX-5 Miata engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
