Maintenance Tips for High-Mileage Vehicles in West Babylon, NY
A car with more than 80,000 miles on its odometer tends to require more care than a newer vehicle. For this reason, learn how to tend to your high-mileage Honda in this overview. After that, visit New Babylon Honda to meet with our Service Department team!
Oil
Make sure that your car’s engine is in good working order by consistently getting oil changes. Newer vehicles can go 5,000 to 7,500 miles before needing fresh motor oil, but you might need this service sooner if you drive a high-mileage Accord, CR-V, or Civic Sedan. Increasing the frequency of your maintenance visits to once every 3,000 to 4,000 miles can have wondrous effects on your vehicle. For example, it is more likely to last longer on the streets of West Babylon and you may even experience better fuel economy and performance during your adventures. Check the Owner’s Manual for additional details about your car’s oil.
Transmission and Brakes
The transmission system in your vehicle usually needs maintenance every 30,000 miles or so, which means you may be due for a visit soon if your model is growing older. This component ensures that you can accelerate smoothly on Expressway 231, so it’s imperative that you get its fluid checked out every time you visit our dealership's location. At a similar interval, we recommend that you have us examine the brake fluid in your Honda. It transfers the energy from the pedal to the brakes on each wheel, allowing you to slow down on a trip to Phelps Lane Park. Since it absorbs moisture over time, a high-mileage model may need a new batch. Contact us with any questions about transmisison or brake fluid!
Battery
Responsible for getting your car started every morning, the battery is one of your vehicle’s most important components. In most vehicles, it will last three to five years, but you will want to get it tested annually to ensure that it isn’t reaching the end of its life. If you drive an older model, it is likely to require attention even more frequently, as the wires and electronics that connect to the battery will start to degrade. We recommend that you reach out to us if you notice any flickering lights or experience trouble starting the engine. Use the Ask a Tech form to tell us about any battery trouble you’re having.
How Often Should You Get an Oil Change?
- Consider getting an oil change every 3,000 to 4,000 miles if you drive a high-mileage vehicle!
