Most of our customers will agree that cruising in a Mazda CX-5 or 2018 Mazda6 near Woodbridge, NJ during summer is more preferable than driving in winter. However, summer presents its own automotive pitfalls that can affect Mazda owners who don’t seek out regular service. Here are a few summer maintenance tips that will help keep you on track.
Oil: While the question of standard oil versus synthetic oil is important, what we’re talking about specifically is the importance of changing your oil regularly, especially during the summer. Everyone knows that a car engine can’t function without oil, and that a lack of oil (or the presence of old, gummy oil) can debilitate an engine. And in hot weather, engines have a propensity for overheating faster. Do your Mazda car a favor and visit our local Mazda dealership for an oil change every three months. After all, you’ll likely drive more over the summer than any other season.
Air filter: In ideal conditions, an air filter lasts about 12,000 miles. However, after a long winter, an air filter can quickly become clogged with salt, road debris, leaves, etc. We recommend visiting our nearby Mazda dealer and having your filter checked/replaced. Also, as the temperature begins to rise, breathing clean cabin air is a big health benefit – especially to allergy sufferers.
Wipers: We all know it’s harder to see when driving in a thunderstorm, but at night it’s even worse: studies show that a nighttime storm can limit a driver’s visibility to 15 – 20 feet. In cases like these, you want new wipers – not old, worn-out wipers that leave streaks on the windshield, further hampering your sightline.
