Have you been putting off your Acura service appointments? Often, drivers don't consider maintenance a high priority, particularly when they aren't having any issues with their vehicle. However, we can't stress enough the importance of routine maintenance at Acura of Sherman Oaks.

My Car is Working Fine. Do I Really Need Maintenance?
Maintenance is mainly preventative. Even if your vehicle seems to be working great, it still needs to be maintained. There are so many moving parts in your car that wear and tear are inevitable over time.
You should also remember that many parts in your vehicle aren't built to last forever. Service doesn't just include maintaining your car; it ensures that compromised parts are replaced when needed. It's essential to keep your vehicle running as efficiently as possible and ensure it is safe and reliable.
What Kind of Maintenance Do I Need?
There are a variety of maintenance tasks that your vehicle needs. These can vary due to many factors: your vehicle type, mileage, what kind of driving you do, your driving conditions, etc.Â
These are a few of the tasks that your vehicle needs:
- Oil change
- Filter replacement
- Tire rotation
- Refill fluids under the hood
- Brake pad replacement
- Light bulb replacement
 How Often Do I Need Service?
As we mentioned, service needs can vary due to several factors. For example, many require an oil change every 3,000 miles. However, vehicles that use synthetic oil can go up to 10,000 or even 15,000 miles between oil changes.
Remember, pre-owned vehicles can also have different service needs than new Acura vehicles. As your mileage continues to climb, there will be additional maintenance tasks that your vehicle will require. The best way to ensure your vehicle gets the service it needs is to review the recommendations in your owner's manual.
