While it’s important to care for your Honda vehicle through all seasons, after a long season of salty roads and cold temperatures, spring is a prime time to care for your vehicle after winter. You should have your car analyzed by our trusted Honda technicians to determine if any of your vehicle’s components are in need of servicing.
These components include:
1. Tire Pressure: Cold weather can reduce tire pressure, so make sure all tires, including the spare, are properly inflated and balanced.
2. Brakes: After a season of snow and ice it is advisable to inspect the brake system, including lines, hoses, the parking brake, and brake fluid for proper level. Fortunately, all four of your Honda brakes have audible brake wear indicators.
3. Fluid Levels: There are lots of things to check but don’t skip over any of them: engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze/coolant and, yes, even windshield washer fluid. Every Honda comes with antifreeze/coolant, brake fluid, automatic transmission fluid, and power steering fluid to protect your Honda vehicle's mechanical components from harmful deposits, rust, corrosion, and oxidation.
4. Engine Air filter: As pollutants build up on your car’s air filter, engine airflow becomes restricted, which adversely affects performance. That’s why it’s important to regularly replace your old, dirty air filter with a new Honda Genuine Engine Air Filter.
