One of the most critical aspects of routine Honda maintenance is having your dirty engine oil replaced with clean engine oil. While many people put off this crucial item, neglecting to get an oil change on time can seriously damage your engine. Today, our car experts dive into how clean engine oil is crucial for your motor and how often you should visit your local Honda dealer to have your dirty oil replaced. The Importance of Clean Engine Oil Clean engine oil is essential for maintaining the health and performance of your Honda's engine. Clean oil carries away dirt and other debris and helps prevent sludge formation. This is great for engine performance. Clean oil is also beneficial in that it improves fuel economy. The cleaner your engine oil is, the more efficiently your motor runs. This results in more miles per gallon. more Clean engine oil is also vital because it extends the longevity of your engine by reducing wear and tear and friction. Having your dirty oil replaced is even good for the environment. Engine oil is broken down over time by the heat of your engine, and that releases gases into the air. Another way clean oil protects your engine is that it lubricates your motor's moving components, mitigating the risk of your engine overheating. How Often You Should Visit Your Local Honda Dealer to Change Your Engine Oil How often you should have your engine oil swapped depends on a variety of factors, including the type of motor oil used, your normal driving conditions, and the age of your vehicle. Generally, you should bring your Honda in every 5,000 to 7,500 miles if conventional motor oil is used. If you have full-synthetic engine oil used, you can drive 15,000 miles before your oil becomes too dirty. ​Come in for a change annually if you rarely drive. If you want to keep your oil clean as long as possible, keep in mind that the way you drive affects the oil's longevity. More frequent oil replacements are required when you drive in "severe" conditions. Examples of severe conditions include: Driving a lot in stop-and-go-traffic Driving in very cold weather Usually driving fewer than five miles at a time Hauling or towing heavy loads Having your engine oil swapped regularly is one of the best things you can do to maintain the health of your engine. Depending on the motor oil used, how you drive, and other factors, you may need to get clean oil every 5,000 to 15,000 miles. If it's time for a change, contact us today at Honda Auto Center of Bellevue in Bellevue, WA to schedule an appointment.

Honda not only makes outstanding vehicles that have won numerous awards, but it also gives you some of the best warranty protection available. As your Honda dealer, we want to tell you about some of the coverage you receive with your 2024 Honda warranty. New Car Warranty This is the main warranty that covers every new Honda. It provides comprehensive protection against any unforeseen issue, however unlikely, that could affect your vehicle. Any identified defect with the materials or labor that went into manufacturing your Honda will be rectified by a Honda dealer using Honda-approved parts and Honda-trained technicians. more Coverage lasts for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Unlike many other warranties, your original 12-volt battery is also included in this coverage. Certain situations, like damage caused by accidents, the use of unauthorized components, or regular wear and tear, are not covered by this warranty. Excluded situations are explained further in your warranty booklet. Wheel Balancing and Alignment Warranty Any adjustment necessary to correct an issue with wheel balancing or alignment is covered for the first year or 12,000 miles. Powertrain Warranty The powertrain comprises your engine, transmission, and FWD or RWD drivetrain. In addition, if your Honda has a transaxle, it is also protected by this warranty. Coverage extends to almost every component in these systems, including the cylinder block, head, and all internal components, the timing gears, the transmission casing and internal components, and the hubs, bearings, and seals. Warranty coverage applies for the first five years or 60,000 miles. Components not covered by this warranty are protected by other warranties or are specifically excluded. All exclusions are detailed in your warranty booklet. Hybrid High Voltage Battery Warranty This warranty protects your hybrid battery against any manufacturing issue for eight years or 100,000 miles. The specialized hybrid battery, like all batteries, slowly loses storage capacity over time. This is a naturally occurring process and not a defect.

The seat belts and all related components are covered by warranty for fifteen years or 150,000 miles. Rust Perforation Limited Warranty Water, mud, or snow can rapidly create rust on any unprotected metal. All metal sections of your Honda are specially treated against rust during the manufacturing process. In the unlikely event rust appears, the affected panel will be replaced at no cost.
