What is My Car Maintenance Schedule?

Just like any other valuable asset such as your Richmond Hill home, owning a Acura requires regular upkeep and maintenance. This may have you wondering, “What is my car maintenance schedule?” How often you’ll need repairs and the type of repairs your vehicle will need is dependent on your vehicle’s body style. For example, SUVs, vans, sedans, will all differ in their types of required maintenance. To stay on top of your Acura maintenance schedule, we encourage you to join the Precision Maintenance Program. In the meantime, continue reading to learn more about your vehicle’s maintenance schedule from the service department at Southern Motors Acura.

Standard Suggested Car Maintenance Schedule

In order to make sure your car is being checked up on over time, your car maintenance schedule spans over multiple intervals as follows:

For every 3 months or 3,000 miles… you’ll want to check:

• Automatic transmission, power steering, wiper fluid levels
• Engine oil and air filter
• Belts, exhaust, and hoses
• All lights inside and out
• Fuel filter
• Tire pressure, tire tread wear and tear check

For every 6 months or 6,000 miles, you’ll want these to get looked at:

• Car battery and cables
• Chassis lubrication
• Windshield wipers
• Polish your vehicle

Have a technician inspect the following every 12 months or 12,000 miles:

• Brake system
• Coolant levels

Monthly Car Maintenance

It’s always a smart idea to follow a car maintenance schedule on a monthly basis as well. However, this doesn’t mean you’ll have to pay a trip to a service center in Pooler each month…you can do it yourself! Checking the following each month is incredibly simple and is vital for your Acura health:

• Check to see if the check engine light is on
• Keep your interior and exterior tidy
• Ensure all the interior and exterior lights work
• Check tire pressure and tread
• Check windshield wiper fluid levels
