Driving in heavy rainfall or summer storms can be easily dealt with by selecting the right set of tires for your vehicle and driving conditions. DIFFERENT TYPES OF TIRES When shopping for tires, terms such as summer, all season, all-weather and winter tires are thrown out with little understanding. Each type is designed to maximize grip under specific road conditions and can make a significant difference in how your car accelerates, stops and handles. Built for the average driver, all season tires offer a balance of capabilities, including ride comfort, handling and wear life throughout moderate climates and changing seasons. They are offered in many sizes and models for use on a wide variety of vehicles from economy cars to sedans to mini-vans to pickup trucks. The tread compound and tread pattern of all season tires can be optimized to deliver a variety of desired attributes, including fuel efficiency, wet traction, long wear life and more. Summer tires are ideal for high performance vehicles, and are built for speed and agility. They offer increased responsiveness, cornering and braking capabilities. This is typically attributed to specialized tread patterns and rubber compounds that allow for improved precision on the road. The tread patterns of summer tires have large grooves for water evacuation and put more rubber in contact with the road. Summer tires may have shallower tread depths that allow for more stability when pushed to their limits. more While all season tires are capable of providing traction in winter, they are not the best tire to use in extreme winter driving conditions. All season tire rubber will lose flexibility as the weather gets colder, which is why the latest generations of winter tires are specially designed to remain flexible even at extremely low temperatures. This flexibility, together with a tread design optimized for grip in winter driving conditions, allows winter tires to conform to the road and maintain their traction on snowy, icy, wet and dry surfaces. Winter tire technology has advanced in recent years to deliver even better grip on snow and ice. For example, the newest generations of Blizzak winter tires from Bridgestone are specially designed with a Multi-Cell compound that dispels water from the surface of ice. This combats slippage and improves braking. The tread pattern of Blizzak winter tires is uniquely designed with sipes – tiny slices in the tread pattern – that have biting edges to help grip on ice, snow and wet pavement, as well as grooves that retain snow as the tire makes contact with the road. This is because snow-on-snow traction is some of the best traction you can get in those conditions. STUDS OR STUDLESS? Another selection of winter tires have metal studs inserted into the tread. These studs are designed to dig into the frozen road surface to provide traction. Studded tires perform well, especially on smooth ice, but there are several drawbacks. Studded tires reduce traction when not on ice or packed snow and cause substantial road noise inside the car. They also can damage the roadway when driving on clear pavement. A modern studless winter tire like the Bridgestone Blizzak offers similar ice and snow traction capability without the disadvantages of studs. MAKING YOUR TIRE CHOICES Tires are highly advanced pieces of technology and are designed for different terrains and driving applications. Summer and winter tires are designed to provide excellent performance in their specific seasons, while all-season and all-weather tires are optimized to perform across a variety of conditions and seasons. Each driver has to decide on the best option but many have found that keeping two sets of tires for winter and summer driving offer the best of both worlds. Most service stations, neighborhood auto centers, dealers and tire shops will swap your tires for a small fee, with some willing to even store your extra tires.
One of the most important things you can do to keep your vehicle healthy and running smoothly is to change its oil. Changing a vehicle’s oil is simple enough to do at home, but if you simply do not have the time to do it yourself, fear not, your friends here at Passport Mazda are here to help you out. Our trained specialists use parts from Mazda factories and have the experience and knowledge to get your oil change done in a timely fashion so you can get on with your busy day. Many people who bring their vehicles in when they need to change their oil do not think about bringing it to a dealership because they think we charge more than other places. In fact, our prices are very competitive, and we use genuine Mazda parts while other service shops may not. We also include a many other service features to go along with your oil change to make your vehicle drive like the day you drove it off of our lot. more HOW OFTEN DO I NEED AN OIL CHANGE? You may be under the impression that every car needs an oil change at exactly three months or 3,000 miles. Or maybe you're on the other end of the spectrum and you won't bother until your engine actually stops running. (Spoiler alert: if that has happened, it's too late.) The first example is just a little off. The second is scary! MY, HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED. The standard 3,000 mile rule comes from an earlier age of vehicle production. With advances in both engine and oil technology, you don't need to stick to such a frequent schedule. Some classic and specialty cars will still want to be on this tighter timetable, but if you're driving a Mazda built in the last decade or so, it probably isn't necessary. It won't hurt the car, but you might just be wasting some good oil if you change it too often. BUT WHY SHOULD I BOTHER TO CHANGE THE OIL IN MY CAR? Oil lubricates your engine and all of its little components. When the oil breaks down, it can't do its job effectively anymore. With all that friction, your engine will overheat, which can cause parts to quickly wear down and warp. If you just never change your oil, your engine is likely to eventually seize up and turn into a big useless pile of scrap metal. SO WHAT SHOULD I DO? Unfortunately, there isn't really an easy rule to remember across the board. Each car is different, and each driver is different. The first thing to do is check your owner's manual. For example, Mazda recommends a maximum interval of 12 months or 7,500 miles between oil changes for many of their models. Your next guideline is to make sure you always pay attention to your vehicle's notifications and warning lights- Mazda has included some very cool technology in their new cars and it would be a shame to ignore it! You'll want to adjust your own oil change schedule depending on your driving habits and conditions. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can cause your oil to work a little harder. Here are some other factors to consider: • Stop-and-go vs. highway mileage • Mountains and hills vs. flat terrain • Frequency of heavy loads or towing • Frequency of engine idling Don't forget to check our service specials page for any applicable money-savers, and then schedule a service if your car is ready for an oil change. Please feel free to call or stop by to discuss your own vehicle and driving habits - our experienced technicians are here to help you get the most out of your car, and we can help you come up with an oil change schedule you're comfortable with. We know our environment and our Mazdas, so be honest about how aggressive you drive and we'll make sure your car gets the best possible care!
