When Should You Schedule Honda Service

How Long Can I Put Off Honda Service?

The truth is you never want to skip your routine car service. Scheduling regular car maintenance appointments will help to keep your vehicle safe, improve its efficiency, and maintain its value if you plan to sell down the line.

Here are some scheduling dates you’ll want to consider for your new Honda:

• Service: If your vehicle is running smoothly and there are no signs of wear or damage, you’ll still want to schedule routine service every 5,000-7,500 miles. This will help to ensure it maintains that great shape for many years to come.
• Oil Change: The oil in your Honda car or SUV helps to keep the engine cool and well-lubricated. It also collects road dirt and dust, to protect your engine from damage. That’s why the oil should be changed every 7,500 miles or 12 months.
• Battery Inspection: Your Honda battery should last three to five years, but extreme temperatures and driving styles can affect its efficiency and ability to hold a charge. It’s a good idea to schedule regular inspections after three years or if you notice signs of damage or wear like a slow turnover or obvious battery corrosion.
• Tire Rotation: A tire rotation helps to keep your tires wearing down evenly, which can save you money and time in the long term. Schedule a tire rotation around 7,500 miles, or if you notice signs of uneven wear.
