Honda Maintenance Tips for Denver Drivers

As a responsible Honda owner, you’ll want to do your part to keep your vehicle running like new and extend the life of your car, truck, van, or SUV. To do this, you should always adhere to your Maintenance Minder or Maintenance Schedule. Additionally, you should periodically perform self-checks on the following components of your vehicle to ensure everything is in proper working order.

Brakes, Brake Pads, and Brake Rotors

Checking the different components of your vehicle’s braking system on a regular basis — between scheduled services — can help guarantee the continued successful operation of your Honda’s brakes. You’ll want to be mindful of any squealing sounds, which could be your brakes’ audible wear indicators alerting you of a need for new brake pads.
Also, check for low brake fluid and the quality of your brake fluid. If your brake fluid shows excessive signs of contamination, you should get a brake fluid flush.
When you replace your brake pads or brake rotors, use Genuine Honda Parts. These will be better suited to your vehicle’s mechanical operations systems.

Fuel

Be mindful of an overpowering sulfur-like odor coming from your vehicle’s exhaust. If you notice this, please contact Honda Customer Service or your local dealership. For drivers in the Denver area, Mile High Honda is the place to go!
Also be sure to use “Summer” and “Winter” blended fuels is the coordinating seasons, if you store your own fuel. Summer fuel may not vaporize correctly in cool weather and vice versa.
Do not use gasoline containing MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Never use a lower octane fuel than is recommended in your Honda Owner’s Manual
Take all traditional precautions when refueling your vehicle

Timing Belt

Inspect your timing belt for cracks, low treads, and other signs of wear. Replace your timing belt with a Genuine Honda Timing belt when the time comes. This ensures original fit, which is crucial to the successful operation of your vehicle.

Oils and Fluids

When any of your Honda’s oils or fluids are running low, refill or flush them using Genuine Honda products. These are better suited to your vehicle’s inner workings than any aftermarket products, and they will ultimately perform better when it comes to preventing corrosion and oxidation.

Air Filters

Replace your Honda’s Engine and Cabin Air Filters regularly with Genuine Honda parts. They are engineered to deliver maximum filtration and are better suited to preventing adverse effects than any aftermarket products.

Towing

Different vehicles have different towing requirements. Check your owner’s manual to find the specific information on your vehicle’s towing capabilities.
