Why check the motor oil level in my Mazda Tribute?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Mazda Tribute engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Mazda oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Mazda Tribute spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Mazda Tribute oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.

Why is the oil light on in my Mazda Tribute?

Your Mazda Tribute oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.

Do I need to change my Tribute's oil filter when I get an oil change?

You should replace your Mazda Tribute during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.

How Often to Change 2010 Mazda Tribute Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2010 Mazda Tribute? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Mazda recommends changing your 2010 Tribute’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Tribute may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mazda recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mazda Tribute. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Type of Oil Does My Mazda Tribute Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2010 Mazda Tribute motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

During an oil change, an auto technician will change your Tribute’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Tribute by considering your driving habits, and odometer.
