Honda Odyssey Maintenance Tips

The number one most important routine service for any vehicle is, you guessed it, an oil change. Oil is literally the lifeblood of your vehicle and without clean engine oil, your Odyssey can be subject to reduced miles per gallon, overheating, and even catastrophic engine damage in extreme cases. However, these can be easily avoided by bringing your car to the service team here at Pearson Honda for a quick and easy oil change service. Honda recommends that you change your engine oil every 7,500 miles to keep the engine running smoothly. With each oil change, our service team recommends getting a tire rotation. By switching your front tires to the rear and vice versa, you can improve traction and extend the life of your tires. This is because a majority of your vehicle's weight sits on the front axle, adding more pressure to the tires and increasing friction. In turn, the front tires tend to wear faster than the rear. By routinely rotating the tires, you keep the tread wear even and limit premature tire wear. Other routine tire services include balancing and wheel alignments, though these aren't needed quite as often as tire rotations.

The 30/60/90 rule for car maintenance refers to the services recommended every 30,000 miles. However, the timing of these services can vary based on how you use your vehicle. If you drive long distances on a regular basis, for example, these services may need to be performed more frequently. An excellent example of this is your brake pads and rotors. Someone who frequently drives in stop-and-go traffic will see the need to replace their brakes more regularly than someone who spends most of their time on freeways. Here at Pearson Honda, however, the 30/60/90 rule typically applies to most drivers. Every 30,000 miles, our technicians thoroughly inspect your Odyssey's fluids, including engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, differential fluids, and even your wiper fluid. Beyond the fluids, your ignition and fuel systems, exhaust, braking, steering, and suspension systems will all be checked to ensure safe and efficient operation. If any components require replacement or repairs, our technicians will let you know promptly.
