There’s no doubt that Mazda models are some of the highest-quality vehicles on the market today. Models like the Mazda CX-5 are carefully crafted with every thoughtful detail executed with precision; however, even the best of the best needs a little TLC sometimes. That’s why we encourage our customers to seek out regular Mazda service, and we provide just that here at Patrick Mazda.

Today, we wanted to show you some of our most frequently asked questions about Mazda service so you're fully informed before your next service appointment.

Q: Why Do I Need an Oil Change?  

A: Your engine’s oil keeps the parts under your hood lubricated and prevents excessive heat and friction. Too much heat can warp and damage these parts and even lead to complete engine failure.

Over time, engine oil can become compromised, leaving your vehicle inefficient and prone to damage. That's why it’s important to change your oil regularly.  

Q: How Often Do I Need Service?  

A: Your recommended service schedule depends on your vehicle as well as how you drive. Older vehicles do not use the kind of efficient oil that new models use, which is why they require more frequent service. In fact, some new vehicles only require service every 10,000 miles. 

Keep in mind, oil changes are only one type of auto service. You may need to see our service center more often for other service needs, including:

  • Filter changes and/or replacements
  • Fluid refills (coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and more) 
  • Tire rotations  
  • System inspections

Q: Do I Have to Visit Your Dealership for Service?  

A: It can be tempting to change your oil yourself or visit your neighborhood mechanic. However, we always encourage drivers to visit our Mazda dealership near Framingham, MA for all of your service needs. 

Our technicians are trained and certified to care for Mazda vehicles. Not to mention, we always give every vehicle that visits our service center a careful inspection to ensure it’s operating at its best. We want you to enjoy your vehicle for years to come, so visit our service center today!
