Why Vehicle Maintenance Matters
Honda vehicles can easily last for hundreds of thousands of miles, but there's a catch: fail to maintain your car and all bets are off.
Each vehicle's key maintenance requirements - spelled out in your owner's manual - will be a bit different. Broadly speaking, however, there are some key components and systems that need attention:
- Oil changes, because aged oil leads to engine wear
- Brakes, since worn brakes lack stopping power
- Fluids, which should be changed periodically and not just topped off
- Filters, which keep fuel, water, and air clean
- Belts and hoses, which are all too often neglected
- Tires, which need to be rotated or changed periodically
- Alignment, which should be checked and adjusted with every tire service
If you're not sure of the proper maintenance schedule for your vehicle (or if you've mislaid the owner's manual), call your Honda dealership for assistance. We'll get you back on schedule.
