Maintenance for Your 1985 Mazda RX-7

How often should I service my 1985 Mazda RX-7?

Your Guide to 1985 Mazda RX-7 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mazda RX-7 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your RX-7 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 RX-7 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1985 Mazda RX-7!

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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your RX-7's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1985 Mazda RX-7 problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Mazda RX-7 Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 1985 Mazda RX-7 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your RX-7's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1985 Mazda RX-7 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your RX-7 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mazda RX-7 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your RX-7 stranded. Your Mazda RX-7 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

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 1985 Mazda RX-7 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1985 RX-7. 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'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1985 Mazda RX-7.

Maintaining your Mazda RX-7 steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Mazda RX-7 steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Mazda RX-7's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Mazda RX-7 maintenance, 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 RX-7 engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Mazda RX-7 radiator in need of replacement? 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 your spot for 1985 Mazda RX-7 maintenance.

1985 Mazda RX-7 Maintenance Q&A

Take an active role in maintaining your 1985 Mazda RX-7. Get answers to common Mazda RX-7 maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Mazda RX-7? You know your Mazda RX-7 better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When does my Mazda RX-7 need high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Mazda RX-7 engines.
  •  Why are my Mazda dashboard lights on? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Mazda RX-7 to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
