Honda Maintenance Checklist

If you want to keep your Honda car running its best, you’ll need to keep up on Honda maintenance. These tasks will keep your powertrain clean, your tires healthy, and your daily drive smooth and engaging. For many of these tasks, you’ll need our expert team at Lester Glenn Honda, but some can be done at home, so get started with these inspections today.

Oil and Fluids

Keep an eye on your fluid levels and check them once a month to make sure you’re not running low. Modern Honda cars don’t require oil changes quite as often as older models, but it’s still an essential part of maintenance, so make sure to follow your owner’s manual’s recommendations. You’ll need to check oil filters, air filters, and other parts that keep your engine clean or have our team do it as part of a regular check-up.

Tire Care

When the weather changes, the air in your tires expands or contracts, changing the pressure by about one PSI for every 10 degrees’ difference. You’ll want to regularly check the pressure with a tire pressure gauge and inflate or deflate it to keep it in the recommended range. Don’t forget to rotate your tires, too, so you can evenly distribute wear across all four and avoid pulling to one side.

Long-Term Checkups

Your Honda car includes dozens of parts that need to be checked, so don’t miss out on scheduled inspections as your car gets older. In addition to lubricants like transmission fluid and transfer case fluid for all-wheel-drive Honda vehicles, you’ll need our team to look at Honda parts like your spark plugs, serpentine belt, and shocks and struts. Plus, you’ll want to make sure your battery still has enough capacity, especially when you’re up against a New Jersey winter.

Washing and Waxing

Getting regular car washes is about more than helping your car look good. It’s also an essential part of maintenance, as salt, dirt, and other contaminants can be kicked up from the road and stick to your paint job. Regular washes reduce the risk of these materials degrading your car’s paint. If you’re washing your car manually, don’t forget to wash the undercarriage, too.
