Acura Summer Maintenance Tips

Make Sure Your Air Conditioner Is In Top Shape

As you know, the temperature can get extreme here in Texas. Therefore, you will want to check your vehicle’s A/C system to ensure that it’s still blowing out cool air from the vents. Be sure to check each vent and take a look at the cabin filter. A dirty cabin filter can restrict airflow into the cabin.

Prevent Your Vehicle From Overheating

During the summer, vehicles can be prone to overheating. Be sure that your vehicle’s cooling system is in top shape. That includes looking for coolant leaks under the vehicle. A coolant leak can be an orange, pink, or lime-green puddle. Also, be sure to check the coolant level.

Check Your Vehicle’s Tires

A tire inspection is important before heading out for any road trip. Check to see if there is enough tread on each tire. Also, be sure to check for any cracks on the vehicle’s sidewall. Finally, look for any punctures that may adversely affect the tire pressure.

Check Your Vehicle’s Lights

Your vehicle’s lights are important to road safety. Therefore, you will want to check your vehicle’s headlights and tail lights. Also, be sure to check your vehicle’s cabin lights. If you need replacement lights, our parts center offers OEM Acura lights for all models, including the MDX, RDX, ILX, and TLX.

Inspect Your Vehicle’s Battery

You don’t want to contend with a dead battery on the side of the road. Therefore, it is important that you inspect your vehicle’s battery. Be sure to also inspect the battery connectors for any signs of corrosion. Our service center offers battery replacement service on all Acura models.

Take A Look At Your Vehicle’s Engine

Now is a good time to check your vehicle’s engine. Be sure that all the engine’s belts are in working order. Also, check the engine’s oil level and be sure to change out the engine filter if it has not been replaced in the last 12,000 to 15,000 miles.
