Top End-of-Season Mazda Maintenance Tips 

  • Time to change your tires: As soon as you notice the temperature is around 7°C or above, it’s your cue to get your existing snow tires swapped with all-season or summer tires. This is mainly because winter tires don’t perform as efficiently and seamlessly on warmer roads as summer tires. 
  • Check fluid levels: It’s not a secret that winter is harsh on your Mazda’s powertrain system. Take your time to check and refill the various fluids in your car, including engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and coolant. 
  • Get a battery inspection: Just like your car’s engine, the battery works a little harder in winter. So, while you’re preparing your vehicle for spring or summer, be sure to get the battery inspected. Look for signs of corrosion, loose connections and moisture buildup. 
  • Look for alignment issues and fix them: Snow-covered curbs, potholes, icy ruts and such challenging winter road conditions significantly contribute to wear and tear on your car’s suspension and take a toll on your wheel alignment. So, when you swap tires, also check for alignment issues and get them fixed, if need be..
  • Do a thorough cleaning: With winter comes salt, debris, and excessive moisture, which can severely damage both the exterior and interior of your vehicle. To ensure your vehicle remains protected, thoroughly clean it with a high-pressure hose and a sprayer to remove stubborn dirt and grime. 
  • Change cabin air filters: Refresh your air conditioning system by replacing or cleaning your car’s cabin air filters, ensuring a proper flow of fresh air and a clean cabin free from dust and dirt particles.
