Follow the Acura Maintenance Minder

Your Palm Beach Acura is equipped with a Maintenance Minder that alerts you according to certain service and mileage intervals. Based on alpha-numeric codes, they break down the intervals into specific packages:

Code A: Your Acura is ready for its next oil and filter change. If a Service Due Now indicator does not appear after a year's time, an oil change should occur immediately. Regardless, your Pam Beach Acura service advisor should be your first line in defensive car care.

Code B: Is another oil and filter change that includes an exhaust system and fuel line inspection, a brake line check and an examination of hoses used by the ABS brakes and Vehicle Stability Assist systems. Inspections of the driveshaft boots, suspension components, tie rod ends, steering gearbox and CV boots, as well as an inspection of the date on the temporary spare tire kit. A look-see of the brake pads, brake line connections and finally a check of all fluid levels and their conditions occur at this stage.

Numeric Codes:

Code 1: It's time to rotate the tires on your Acura. It's also a good practice every time you come into Napleton Palm Beach Acura for an alignment. Rotation moves the tires on your Acura from front to rear so that the wear is occurring evenly at both ends.

Code 2: Check in with your Palm Beach Acura Service Technician who will examine the condition of your Acura's engine air filter element and in-cabin air filter. The in-cabin filter helps to eliminate odors, pollen and dust that may try to get into the vehicle's interior.

Code 3: means it's time to change your transmission fluid. Especially important if you regularly take your Acura on road trips in mountainous regions, your Acura Owner's Manual suggests a change of the transmission fluid at the 30,000 mile mark and then every 25,000 miles thereafter.

Code 4: This tells you it's Spark Plug replacement time. It's also a good time to inspect the condition of the timing belt, and to inspect and perform, if needed, an engine valves adjustment.

Code 5: The time to replace the engine coolant is when Code 5 appears. The coolant prevents your Acura from overheating in summer and freezing in winter, either of which could lead to a mechanical malfunction. Replacement is important because, over time, the coolant could break down causing it to lose its effectiveness.

Code 6: This is a code that varies according to the model of Acura car or SUV that you drive.

Although not part of any code above, your Acura's Brake Fluid should be replaced every three years.

As always, the owner's manual from your Palm Beach Acura will offer more information on the operation and service schedule of your new Acura vehicle. Additionally, the service department and advisors at Acura Palm Beach are eager to offer you professional service that will keep your new Acura product running and feeling like new.
