Congratulations! You've chosen to drive a Honda, a brand with a long history of reliability and dependability. But how can you keep your new or new-to-you Honda running for years and thousands of miles to come? As a leading local Honda dealer, we're intimately familiar with every aspect of Honda maintenance. Here's our guide to keeping your vehicle in top condition. more Routine Honda Maintenance for Longevity and Performance: A Guide from Your Honda Dealer Read Your Owner's Manual The Owner's Manual contains key tips on vehicle-specific requirements. Inside you'll find information on everything from how often to change your oil and what grade to use, to how often to replace filters and have the brakes checked. Keep in mind that the maintenance schedule in your Owner's Manual is a guide, and that you can always bring your Honda in sooner if something isn't behaving quite right. Mind Your Motor Oil The engine is the beating heart of a Honda, and perhaps the most common car maintenance task is ensuring that your engine has enough oil and changing that oil on schedule. Motor oil lubricates the engine so it runs smoothly and helps keep it cool by providing someplace for heat to go. Your Owner's Manual will dictate the weight and type of oil to use. Your Honda may also offer you maintenance minders to let you know when an oil change is coming due. Motor oil typically needs changing every few thousand miles or every few months. It's important to change your oil at whichever criteria comes first; oil degrades with both time and use. Keep in mind that it's also important to make sure there's enough oil to protect your engine. Check your motor oil every week or so, and be sure to add appropriate-weight oil if it gets low, and bring your vehicle in for service if oil runs low suspiciously quickly. Air Filters Engines work by combining fuel with air, which offers oxygen critical for the combustion process. When air filters get clogged, it can decrease airflow and possibly impact performance. Periodically check your engine and cabin air filters to make sure both you and your Honda can breathe clean, fresh air. Spring and autumn are times that can cause a lot of pollen to collect in air filters, so be sure to check your filters in these seasons. Brake Service Keeping your Honda stopping quickly is critically important for safety. Pads, rotors, lines, and fluids are all critical components to keeping your Honda stopping swiftly. If your brakes start to feel soft or spongy or vibrate when you press the pedal, bring your Honda in for service immediately so our team can diagnose the problem. With proper care and maintenance, your Honda will be a fantastic vehicle for years to come. And when it's time to have it serviced, bring it to the people who know it best.

With seasonal temperatures that range from the low 80s to the high 80s, in Hawaii, there can be days, even in winter, when you need a refreshing blast of cold AC air. As your Honda dealer, we'd like you to know a few signs you need to visit us for Honda AC maintenance. more Signs You Need To Visit Your Honda Dealer for Honda AC Maintenance Damaged Condenser The condenser converts refrigerant from a gas to a liquid, removing the heat it absorbs from the air. This part of the AC looks like a mini radiator, and it's positioned in front of the radiator that removes heat from the engine by heat exchange. The condenser can become blocked in time, and it can also be damaged by hard objects thrown up from the surface. If the condenser is blocked or damaged, the cooling process won't happen, and the AC will only bow hot air. Our technicians will investigate and repair the damage or replace the condenser, depending on the situation. Once the condenser is operational, your AC will deliver cold air again. Broken Compressor Clutch The compressor is a pump that switches on and off at set times to move refrigerant and air through the system. It's a vital component, as a failed compressor will prevent the AC from working. The compressor is powered by the crankshaft's movement and is controlled by the compressor clutch. In time, the clutch can wear out, and it will jam on or off. A compressor jammed in the off position won't work, and the AC system will shut down. If the clutch jams in the on position, the compressor will run continually and eventually wear out. A damaged clutch can quickly be replaced to fix this problem. If the compressor has been continually running, we'll need to examine it for damage, and it may need replacement. Refirgerant Leak Refrigerant is the colorless, odorless gas used in the AC to draw water from the air and chill it before it blows into your cabin. It operates in an air-tight system, as this gas evaporates when exposed to air. The gas operates under pressure, and a tiny hole in the system or a worn seal can cause a rapid loss of refrigerant. If your AC isn't delivering cold air on demand, could be the cause. We'll examine your AC, and if a leak is the cause, we add a UV dye to the system. We monitor the dye's progress through the AC using a UV monitor, and the dye will highlight the leak site. Once we've found this, we'll seal the leak and refill your refrigerant. If your AC has a problem, contact us today at Tony Honda in Waipahu, WI.
