Acura vehicles are known for their luxury, performance, and longevity, whether you purchase them new or pre-owned. When you buy a pre-owned Acura, it is just as vital to keep up with maintenance as it is when you buy a new Acura car. However, your car’s Acura service requirements are slightly different when you purchase a pre-owned vehicle. Here is an overview of what to expect when maintaining your pre-owned Acura car at Acura of Sherman Oaks.
Timing Belt Replacement
The majority of engines found in pre-owned Acura cars utilize a timing belt to synchronize the engine’s belts and pistons. Over time, the timing belt can wear down and become susceptible to breakage. Because timing belt replacements occur over longer intervals than many types of Acura service, you should check the maintenance history of your pre-owned Acura car when you purchase it.
Coolant Flush
The role of engine coolant in your vehicle is to regulate the engine temperature. By the time a pre-owned Acura model gets purchased, the coolant may have degraded and lost its effectiveness. The coolant flush involves draining old coolant and replacing it with fresh fluid, helping to prevent corrosion and ensure proper engine cooling.
Transmission Fluid Service
Transmission fluid is one of the many fluids vital for the smooth operation of your Acura car. Transmission fluid doesn’t need frequent changes like engine oil, but it requires periodic service, making it something you should check in your pre-owned Acura car. The service involves draining and replacing the fluid and may also include replacing the transmission filter.
