Regular maintenance is crucial to keep your car safe, reliable, and fuel-efficient. The following tips will ensure that you can rely on your vehicle to get you where you need to go!
1. Familiarize Yourself with Your Owner’s Manual
All the information about your specific model is in your owner’s manual. The manual contains detailed information on the basic operating commands, features, warning lights, the right oil to use, tire pressure, and so much more. The factory-recommended maintenance schedule and service interval information in your owner’s manual will help you to keep your Acura in tip-top condition.
2. Stick to the Maintenance Schedule
This is the most important maintenance tip we can offer you. If you regularly service your Acura at the factory-recommended intervals, your car will perform at its best. With regular maintenance, your vehicle will be reliable, fuel-efficient, last longer, and be safe on the road. You’ll have peace of mind that your car’s in good condition and save money on unexpected and costly repairs.
3. Replace the Oil and Filter at the Recommended Intervals
Engine oil keeps the moving parts lubricated and running smoothly. It reduces friction that causes wear and helps to keep your vehicle’s engine clean. The oil and filter need to be replaced at regular intervals to avoid damage. The generally recommended oil and filter replacement for your Acura is every 7,500 miles or every six months, whichever comes first.
Road and weather conditions, driving habits, towing, and driving in heavy traffic also play a role in how often your vehicle will need an oil and filter replacement. Check your owner’s manual for the specific oil and filter replacement intervals for your model or speak to your technician for assistance.
4. Use the Right Oil
The right engine oil for your vehicle is just as important as regular oil and filter replacements. For your vehicle’s engine to run smoothly, Acura recommends referring to your owner’s manual to determine the oil specifically designed for your Acura. Top-quality oil, available at your dealership, will protect and keep your engine clean, increase fuel efficiency, and ensure optimal performance.
5. Insist on Genuine Acura Parts
When you need replacement parts, always insist on genuine Acura parts specifically engineered and manufactured to fit your vehicle perfectly. Genuine Acura parts are corrosion-resistant and tested for reliability, durability, and safety. The Parts Center at your dealership stock a wide range of genuine Acura parts, and the parts specialists will assist you in finding the correct part for your vehicle.
6. Quality Maintenance Counts
It’s crucial to maintain your vehicle regularly. It’s just as important to make use of quality maintenance services. If you take your vehicle to your Acura dealership for routine maintenance, you can rest assured that your car is in expert hands.
