How to Maintain a Mazda?

The amount of antifreeze must be appropriate. The service station recommends replacing the antifreeze every two years, but mixed antifreeze must be replaced annually. Engine oil requires higher lubrication standards in winter. If summer-grade oil is being used, it must be replaced, and any oil that has been in use for an extended period should also be changed. If you normally use 90-octane gasoline, you can switch to 93-octane. Since winter driving environments have lower temperatures, higher-octane gasoline has a higher ignition point.
I've been driving a Mazda for several years and feel that regular maintenance is particularly important. I usually change the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers, and it's best to use full synthetic oil since the SkyActiv engine has high requirements for oil quality. While changing the oil, I also check the filter. Tires also need regular pressure checks; it's best to measure them once a month. The temperature difference between summer and winter is significant, and unstable tire pressure can easily lead to a blowout. Don't be lazy about washing the car; keeping the body clean prevents rust, especially in areas with a lot of rain. I've also learned to clean the air conditioning filter myself; otherwise, too much dust can cause unpleasant odors. Before winter, always check the antifreeze level to avoid problems when it freezes. Remember to schedule a comprehensive check-up at the 4S shop on time. Leave professional tasks like spark plugs and brake systems to the technicians—safety comes first. This way, the car can last longer.
