Oil Change Service in Bedford, Ohio
Why Is Changing The Oil In Your Acura Important?
With proper maintenance and care, your Acura vehicle will continue to provide years of reliable performance. A simple and inexpensive way to extend the life of your Acura is to regularly change your engine oil. The oil inside your engine is responsible for keeping vital engine components properly lubricated, protecting them against harmful heat and friction. Trust the team of service experts at Motorcars Acura to give your vehicle the attention it deserves with regular oil maintenance.
When Is The Right Time To Change My Oil?
Oil eventually deteriorates and loses its ability to protect your engine, due to heat, friction, and exposure to exhaust components. The best way to determine the exact information on oil change intervals for your Acura is to reference your Owner’s Manual. Newer Acura models come equipped with a Maintenance Minder system which calculates service needs based on your car’s mileage and alerts you with a series of messages when it’s getting close to needing an oil change. It’s also important to remember that factors such as your driving habits and local climate can have an impact on how often your oil needs changed. If you’re still unsure, our knowledgeable Acura Service Advisors are ready to answer any questions you may have.
How To Know If You Have a Problem With Your Engine Oil?
Identifying the signs or symptoms of an engine oil related problem could potentially save you money, inconvenience, and frustration in the future. Listed below are a few of the most common warning signs to help you spot an engine oil related problem.
Engine Oil Light is Blinking
Should a blinking or steady Engine Oil Warning Light appear on your dashboard, your Acura is likely suffering from low oil pressure. In order to stay properly lubricated and protected against damage, your engine requires a certain amount of oil at all times. If your Acura has a blinking oil light, we recommend safely slowing to a stop and contact the Service Center at Motorcars Acura to address the problem. Continuing to drive with low oil pressure could potentially cause serious damage to your Acura.
Oil Puddles or Stains Under Your Acura
If you notice oil drops, stains, or puddles collecting under your Acura, we recommend scheduling a service appointment as soon as possible. Spotting oil underneath your Acura can be tricky, especially in the summertime or on warm days. It’s common for your vehicle’s air conditioning system to drip water. Be sure not to confuse this for oil. Common areas to check for an engine oil leak include the oil pan drain plug, oil pan gasket, and valve cover gasket. A loss of engine oil can lead to potentially serious engine issues, making it important to address this issue as soon as possible.
