Honda Oil Change Protocols: Extending Your Vehicle's Life

When winter is on the horizon, that's the time to get your Honda winter maintenance done. Don't wait until the snow flies to be ensuring your safety on the road. Get Honda Winter Maintenance The first thing to do is visit your dealership. Your dealer will check things like your battery (to be sure it can hold a charge and won't leave you stranded in the cold) brakes, and fluids (to be sure they're the ideal type for winter and topped up). You can also talk to us about winter tires and your options there for better traction and braking power in snow and ice. We'll also take a look at your windshield wipers and at your headlights. If the wipers are getting a little old and brittle, it's best to replace them before you need them desperately in the middle of a snowstorm! We can also polish your headlight covers if they're getting a bit dim and check on the bulbs to make sure they're bright and will protect you through those winter days when the dark comes early. more Lubricate Hinges Lubricating the hinges on your car doors, the catches on the trunk, and even the catches on the door over your fuel cap can save you some serious frustration later. Use a silicon lubricant, which you can get at any big box store or auto supply shop. Also, spray the silicone lubricant over the weatherstripping around your doors, and if you frequently find that you have issues with your windshield wipers being frozen to the windshield in the morning, try spraying them the night before a deep freeze, as well. Get Washed Regularly The road salt and chemicals used to keep us all safe on the roads are absolute murder on your vehicle. You want to get that stuff off as quickly as possible, so don't be stingy about getting a car wash regularly. At least once a week is a good interval once the snow starts to fly and the roads start getting slushy. You don't have to get the most expensive car wash out there! Shop around for a car wash that provides an undercarriage wash with their most basic service, and remember that a touchless car wash will be easier on your paint job. You can get a more comprehensive wash at longer intervals, but for these weekly washes, touchless is perfect. The main point is to spray off all contaminants that could promote rust and corrosion. These are just a few ways that you can keep your Honda in great shape through the winter. Come see us at Honda of New Rochelle, NY for maintenance and more advice for your vehicle.

When it comes to car maintenance, you have a lot of tools in the toolbox to make your car go further for longer with fewer problems. And with the legendary reliability of Hondas, perhaps the single most important maintenance action you can take is scheduling regular vehicle inspections with your Honda dealer. But what exactly goes into a regular inspection visit? Interior Inspection Don't worry, we're not looking for empty candy wrappers or dirty floors; our team isn't here to judge. Instead, we're checking in on vehicle functionality, including cabin and dashboard lights, making sure the horn and parking brake work as intended, and making sure your vehicle does exactly what you expect every time you turn it on. more Exterior Inspection Our crew will do a walk-around of the vehicle, checking all the ways your Honda interacts with the outside world. For example, our team will evaluate your windshield wiper blades and windshield spray pattern to make sure your wipers work correctly. We'll also check your headlights, brake lights, hazard lights, and turn signals to make sure all your bulbs or LEDs are working properly and that you're as safe as can be on the road. Under the Hood Making sure your Honda is road-ready is a top priority during an inspection. Our team will look for any leaking lines and inspect fluid levels, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and even the windshield wiper fluid level. These crucial fluids keep your Honda working smoothly and performing as expected. Power steering, anti-lock brakes, and transmission are all evaluated for efficacy. Making sure your battery is in good shape is important, too, especially in the winter or the hottest parts of the summer, when demand on your vehicle is greatest. Of course, your Honda needs to breathe just like you do, so our team will gladly take a look at both the engine air filter and the cabin air filter, to make sure both you and your car get the fresh clean air you need. Under the Body Checking your Honda's brakes is essential in keeping you safe on the road. Our team will check your front and rear brake pads, discs, and calipers, along with the condition of your tire treads. The exhaust system will get a check-up, too. The steering and suspension will get a good looking over, including links, arms and tie rods, struts, ball joints, and coils to make sure your Honda handles the roads the way it's supposed to. Now that you know what to expect when our team inspects, it's time to get your Honda in for a check-up.
