The change in seasons isn't as drastic in Southern California as it is in many other places, which often means that Autumn has a way of sneaking up on people. Every season puts different demands on your car, so it's essential to get timely Acura service performed at a dealership by qualified technicians. Acura of Sherman Oaks is ideal if you live in the Los Angeles area.

Complete an Oil Change
Motor oil is an unsung hero in new Acura cars. It protects the engine by lubricating it and keeping it clean and cool. That way, it delivers the peak performance for which it was designed.
Motor oil breaks down as it ages. When it does, it causes friction rather than alleviating it. To prevent that, visit us for new oil and a new oil filter.
Service Your Car's HVAC System
Autumn is also the perfect time to service your car's HVAC system. Your air conditioner may need additional refrigerant after a long summer, and if you've been driving with the windows down, you'll probably need a cabin filter from our stock of genuine Acura parts. It's also a good idea to check your heater to ensure you need it on the occasional cool evening.
Inspect Your Tires
Traction is essential all year long. When you visit our Acura dealership near Van Nuys, we'll inspect the tires' tread depth and overall condition, recommending new tires if yours are near the end of their service life. Besides traction, wheel alignment helps ensure safety and lets you maximize the potential of your SH-AWD® system, too.
Other Acura Maintenance Essentials in Brief
This is the right time for a few other essentials. We'll check the wiper fluid, transmission fluid, and coolant, changing them if they're low. We'll also inspect the electrical system to ensure the battery won't quit on the first cold night of the year. If you have any areas of concern, point them out to our technicians, and we'll ensure those are taken care of.
If you aren't sure if your vehicle is ready for the season ahead - at any time of year - don't guess. Visit Acura of Sherman Oaks so you can always be sure your vehicle and its passengers are safe and sound!
