Mazda Service San Francisco

Keeping your Mazda running smoothly through the years comes down to following its recommended maintenance schedule — especially at key milestones. Regular service protects your warranty coverage, maintains performance, and helps retain resale value. Here’s what serious buyers and owners can expect at the 30,000‑, 60,000‑, and 100,000‑mile marks.

30,000 Miles (or ~24 Months)

This milestone is known as “intermediate” maintenance and includes:

  • Engine oil and filter change, along with tire rotation and fluid checks, roughly every 5,000–7,500 miles.
  • Replacement of cabin air filter and engine air filter; inspection of brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust, and fuel system.
  • Brake fluid service may be included to ensure consistent braking performance.

This service ensures your Mazda stays safe and comfortable.


60,000 Miles (or 48 Months)

At this interval, you’ll repeat the 30,000-mile services plus:

  • Inspection and possible replacement of spark plugs (for Skyactiv-G 2.5L and turbo engines, plugs are changed every 40,000–75,000 miles depending on the engine).
  • Thorough check of drive belts and hoses for wear and cracking.
  • Transmission fluid and filter replacement if not done previously; battery inspection or replacement.

These checks help maintain long-term reliability and prevent costly issues down the road.


100,000 Miles (or 80–96 Months)

This comprehensive service includes:

  • Oil change and full auto transmission fluid service, if required.
  • Coolant flush and replacement, addressing aging antifreeze (typically every 100,000 miles or 10 years).
  • Replacement of spark plugs (if due), drive belts, hoses, and inspection of suspension, steering, and exhaust.

These major maintenance points prepare your Mazda for another 100,000 miles with confidence and performance intact.


Why It Matters

  1. Maintain Warranty and Avoid Wear
    Following the factory schedule keeps your Mazda in line with warranty requirements.
  2. Protect against Bigger Repairs
    Inspecting and refreshing belts, hoses, and fluids prevents unexpected breakdowns.
  3. Preserve Resale Value
    Documentation of regular service improves vehicle value when you’re ready to sell or trade in.

Routine Tips Between Milestones

  • Oil changes and tire rotations every 5,000–7,500 miles.
  • Cabin air filter replacement every 30,000 miles (24–36 months).
  • Brake fluid refresh every 30,000–60,000 miles.
  • Keep an eye on visible belts, hoses, fluid levels, and tire wear.

Final Word

By following Mazda’s scheduled maintenance—especially around 30k, 60k, and 100k miles—you’ll ensure your vehicle stays safe, reliable, and efficient. These services may involve moderate investment, but they protect against major failures and help you enjoy your Mazda for years.
