5 Common MAZDA Parts that Need Replacement

If you want to get the most out of your car, routine vehicle maintenance and inspections are essential. Along with oil changes and coolant top-offs, this includes replacing common Mazda parts that wear out due to daily usage. Med Center Mazda details five examples of such parts.

Air & Oil Filters

Over time, these important filters will become clogged. A clogged oil filter will increase fuel consumption and decrease horsepower, whereas a dirty air filter will lead to poor cabin-air quality. Having these filters inspected and replaced is an easy task for our Mazda service team.

Tires

The tires are the one car part that’s in constant contact with the road, so their health is vital. The pressure of your car’s tires should be checked regularly, as well as the tread wear. You should also have them rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. This will help all four tires wear evenly. Depending on how often and the kind of roads you drive on, your car will need new tires around every 45,000 miles.

Exterior Lights

Your exterior lights include not just the headlights, but also the brake lights, turn signals, and taillights. The latter are smaller in size, and thus tend to fail more frequently than the headlights. Since you can’t monitor these lights via a gauge or meter, they should be inspected regularly so they can be replaced promptly. The same goes for headlights, although you should be vigilant for decreasing intensity.

Suspension

Every time you drive over a bump or a pothole, your car’s suspension bears much of the impact. Over time, these impacts can lead to poor alignment, drifting, and decreased fuel economy. Overall performance will suffer too, which is why regular suspension inspections and parts replacements are key at our Pelham, AL, Mazda dealership.

Brake Rotors

The brake rotors help prevent your braking system from overheating during use. With passing miles, friction will make these rotors increasingly less efficient. When you start hearing squealing, grinding and growling sounds, or you begin feeling a “pulsing” sensation whenever you press the brake pedal, the brake rotors need to be replaced.
