Engine | Fox Acura of El Paso in El Paso, TXWhile many drivers already know that it is of utmost importance to regularly service their vehicles, some solely depend on their cars’ mileage to tell them when it’s time for a service appointment. Apart from the scheduled appointments, there are some tell-tale signs that your vehicle will give to let you know that it is time to make an Acura service appointment.

1. If Oil is Dark or Levels Are Low

One way to tell it’s time for vehicle service is by visually checking the oil level. By taking a few moments now and then to check your oil, you can know how much of it is left. The dipstick measurements will help you gauge if you need an Acura service appointment or not.
Also, checking the color of the oil can tell you if it needs changing. There can be enough oil left, but if it is dark, this is a sign that you need to have it changed. The color of clean oil is amber and transparent. A dark and cloudy appearance on the oil is a green light for a service appointment.

2. If the Engine Becomes Too Noisy

An engine makes noises; that is a fact. But these noises in excess mean that all is not well under the hood. The vehicle’s oil provides a thin protective layer to the engine parts such that when they move, they do not come into direct contact with each other. When the oil becomes worn out, or there is not enough of it, the oil can no longer do its job effectively.
When this happens, you will start to hear loud noises from the engine caused by grinding and knocking of the engine parts to each other. To prevent more complex repairs in the future, you should make a quick service appointment with an Acura dealership shop.

3. Excess Exhaust Smoke

The exhaust pipe back there is expected to emit some little translucent vapor. However, you should be very concerned when the tailpipe starts coughing out excessive or colored smoke. This could mean a series of problems – it could be the oil is leaking or there are some faulty engine parts. This is a sign that you need a service appointment.

4. Excessive Fuel Consumption

Have you noticed a change in your gas mileage? While various aspects of your vehicle may explain the poor fuel economy, all of them point towards a problem with your car that needs to be addressed.
When your car is running on old or insufficient oil, that means the engine is not getting enough lubrication. To produce the same performance you are used to, the engine will have to work extra hard; that performance will mean excessive gas consumption. Schedule a service with your nearest Acura dealership to have the oil checked, and your vehicle serviced. See if the fuel economy improves.

One of these signs is enough reason for you to schedule a service visit to have your vehicle checked. Contact Fox Acura of El Paso today to schedule your car service appointment.
