In order to achieve peace of mind each time you drive your Acura, follow a strict maintenance schedule to eliminate unnecessary issues. At Crown Acura, we recommend changing your vehicle’s oil on time, replacing the battery when needed, listening out for brake wear, and additional suggestions that will keep your Acura in excellent condition.
Our Clearwater dealership is home to friendly certified technicians who are prepared to deliver sincere service as soon as you walk in the door. We also supply genuine Acura parts to fit your specific model so you can drive with confidence at all times.
Changing The Oil
Changing the oil is significant to the life of your engine. If your engine runs out of oil or has a small amount, the vehicle will no longer function properly. It is best to check your Acura owner’s manual and follow the recommended maintenance schedule.
If you drive long distances or make frequent stops, it’s a good idea to change the oil earlier than expected. If you hear a grinding sound in the engine or your vehicle stalls, that is a good indication that your engine has little to no oil. Additionally, changing the oil filter every time you change your oil will ensure clean oil remains in the engine. We will gladly change your oil and oil filter at our Clearwater location. While you are here, we can also take a look at your transmission fluid and determine whether or not it needs to be flushed.
Battery Replacement
There are a few things to look for when determining if you need to replace your car battery or not. If your car battery is over 5 years old (the average auto car battery lasts about 4 years), you should bring your Acura into Crown Acura Service to have it tested. Our car battery service technicians will perform a test that will tell you how strong the battery is.
Unfortunately, there is no fixed rule or time when to get your car battery replaced. The length of time your car battery will last depends on a few things like how heavily the battery gets used, the quality of your current battery, the weather conditions you use it in, and how much car battery maintenance you've done.
Unsure of whether or not you could use a new car battery? Stop by Crown Acura Service in Clearwater and have it tested. Our service technicians will help you decide if it's time to change your car battery or not.
