Honda Oil Changes in Concord, CA

What Is An Oil Change?

Oil changes involve removing old or dirty motor oil and replenishing fresh oil in your Honda. You also get a genuine Honda oil filter replacement. Our Bay Area Honda service center in Concord uses Honda Ultimate Full Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil and Honda Genuine Synthetic Blend 5W-20 Motor Oil for most oil changes. The use of Honda Genuine Oil results in quality care for your engine, which requires fresh oil to lubricate parts and maintain a cool engine temperature.

How Do I Know If My Honda Needs An Oil Change?

On most Honda models, a Maintenance Minder will notify you - through the multi-information display - when there is only 15% oil life remaining. This means it's time to schedule Honda oil change service in Concord. Without a Maintenance Minder, consult the owner's manual or look for a light indicating low remaining oil life.

Honda owners throughout the Bay Area can manually check their car's oil level by pulling out the dipstick. Oil should not be black, dark brown, or have an irregular texture. Below-average performance ratings, loud engine noises, shaking, and exhaust smoke are additional signs it's time for a Honda oil change.

How Often Does My Honda Need An Oil Change?

If your Honda CR-V, Honda Accord, or another model takes Honda Ultimate Full Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil, you can wait between 7,500 and 10,000 miles between oil change visits. If you're using Honda Genuine Synthetic Blend 5W-20 Motor Oil for your Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot, Honda Civic, or another model, you should visit the Concord Honda service center for an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Older Honda vehicles require more routine oil changes, occurring every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.

What Will Happen If My Car Doesn't Get An Oil Change?

Your Honda's engine will have trouble without regular oil change service. Old oil thickens to sludge and fails to lubricate engine parts, leading to poor performance, overheating, and potential breakdowns.
