More Oil Change Tips from Honda of Escondido

• How often should you change your oil? Although it depends on how you drive, you should likely schedule service once every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
• Turning to a certified service center is always a smart idea, because we can identify common issues and problems using specialized diagnostic equipment.
• Unless you’re holding on to new oil, a new oil filter, a new gasket, a rubber mallet, and a set of correctly-sized wrenches, taking advantage of our service specials is usually cheaper than performing DIY service.
• We always use Honda Ultimate Full Synthetic Motor Oil. This helps your engine last longer, and reduces the number of service visits that you need to schedule! You can pick up your own bottle at our parts department.
