Summer is heating up, but that doesn’t mean your car should be. Scheduling Mazda maintenance is an important part of caring for your vehicle and keeping it running efficiently. We recommend you start with these maintenance tasks at Heritage Mazda Bel Air.
Schedule an Oil Change
Your engine needs oil to limit friction and heat from its moving parts. However, your oil loses its efficiency the older it gets. It needs to be routinely changed to avoid engine damage and even failure.
Rotate Your Tires
If your summer includes a lot of traveling, your tires will inevitably wear down. And, oftentimes, tires wear unevenly. As they wear unevenly, your tires are prone to flats, so rotating them regularly is crucial.
While you’re here, we’ll also check your tires’ pressure and make sure that you have at least 4/32 of an inch of tread to give you the traction you need.
Top Off Your Windshield Wiper Fluid
Summer travels (and lots of highway driving) often mean lots of debris, bugs, and other messes on your windshield. It’s important to top off your fluid so you can effectively clear your windshield anytime you need to.
Service Your A/C
Typically, we recommend you service your air conditioner once per year and, if you haven’t yet, now is an opportune time to do so. Our air conditioners are often in overdrive right now, so you want to make sure they are working as efficiently as possible. We’ll look for any leaks, unusual wear, and top off the refrigerant.
