Maintaining your Honda is essential for its performance and durability. The Honda maintenance minder system helps you stay on top of service needs, alerting you when it’s time for service.
Your Honda service minder will alert you when it’s near time for an oil change and tire rotation. It also signals when brake inspection, fluid checks, and more are due.
Oil Change
Maintaining your Honda’s engine is one of the most essential parts to ensure it functions optimally. Keeping its oil fresh and clean can extend engine life, improve fuel economy, and increase horsepower.
Your Honda’s maintenance schedule will notify you when an oil change is due and other services like tire rotation or brake inspection are necessary.
Dirty oil no longer effectively lubricates engine parts, leading to friction and excessive heat inside your vehicle’s engine. Furthermore, dirty oil circulates sludge and dirt throughout the system.
Your Honda engine’s oil can become dirty, making it harder for parts to move around the engine – leading to higher fuel consumption. Sludge and dirt make it harder for these elements to move freely within the machine.
Tire Rotation
Rotating your tires regularly is an essential step to keep your car running optimally. Not only does this ensure all four tires wear evenly, but it also lowers the cost of ownership by extending tire life and increasing tread depth.
A proper tire rotation can also improve fuel economy by ensuring your tires aren’t either overinflated or underinflated. Overinflated tires waste 1.25 billion gallons of gasoline annually, while underinflated tires pose risks such as tread separation and blowouts.
Typically, your tires should be rotated after 5,000 to 7,500 miles. However, the Honda Maintenance Minder system will adjust this based on your oil life.
Fluid Checks
When you see a Honda B1 service code appear on your dashboard, it’s an indication that your car requires maintenance. The code will indicate which parts need replacing and when.
For example, the B1 service code indicates it’s time for engine oil change and fluid levels inspection.
Most often, a code like this will appear on the dashboard if your vehicle needs oil changes or other fluid checks.
Another example would be a message reminding you it’s time for tire rotation. While this seemingly minor service is essential in keeping your car in great shape, don’t neglect this vital task!
These types of messages are designed to keep drivers informed about their maintenance requirements. The Maintenance Minder system utilizes algorithms to notify drivers when their Honda will require maintenance for specific parts.
Brake Inspection
One of the most critical components of any vehicle is the brake system. Our Honda service technicians will inspect your brakes and make any necessary repairs.
Our technicians will also check all of your brake fluids to guarantee they remain at proper levels, helping prevent your car from getting stuck on the side of the road or overheating in its engine bay.
If your brakes have seen better days, we can replace brake pads, rotors or hoses as part of a B1 service. If we determine that you require a complete overhaul of your system, we’ll help get you back on the road quickly and affordably!
The Honda maintenance minder system is an invaluable tool that alerts you when your car requires specific services. It uses various factors to identify when oil changes, tire rotations and other routine upkeep are necessary.
