Knowing Acura Service Intervals are Essential to Vehicle Longevity
All vehicles, new or used, will eventually need maintenance if they want to keep running properly. No matter what kind of service is required, be it as simple as a battery test or as complex as a transmission replacement, you'll want a trusted maintenance team. But finding the right mechanic is only half the battle. Knowing key service intervals is equally important.
Lucky for most Milledgeville drivers, vehicles will alert them to any internal problem like engine trouble or depleted oil. The owner's manual in an Acura vehicle will also provide service interval details. Sutton Acura helps Georgia drivers from Macon to Warner Robins stay on top of auto maintenance at different mileage benchmarks with service interval information.

Maintenance We Provide in Macon with Critical Service Intervals
Visit our Acura service center in Macon for maintenance and repairs needed at service intervals. Notable services needed at various mileage intervals include:
Routine Maintenance & When to Get It
Tires, brakes, engine oil, additional fluids, and filters all play a key role in prolonging the longevity of your car, truck, or SUV. If routine service lapses, a whole slew of costly problems may occur down the road.
Oil Change
Griffin, GA drivers should have their oil changed every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, depending on the oil already in use. Synthetic motor oil will last longer than conventional oil. Oil becomes thick after a while, and sludgy oil cannot act efficiently as a lubricant or cooling agent. Replacing the dirty oil can improve the functionality of your engine.
Tire Services
Your tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, or every six months if you don't drive often. Tires take a lot of wear driving on roads around Macon, but tire wear is not equally distributed between them. As such, the front tires lose their treads quickly, leading to a lack of traction. Rotating your tires combats tread loss by managing the wear and distributing it evenly.
Wheel alignments are equally important and result in proper road contact on Macon highways. We recommend getting routine wheel alignment service once a year, but to visit us for an inspection every 6,000 miles, or every other oil change.
Brake Check
Brake pads can last a long time, but not forever. Brake pads should be changed out every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. Many manufacturers mix metal into the model of their brake pads, so when you hear a screeching noise when applying the brakes, it's your vehicle's way of intentionally warning you. Worn-down brake pads and other brake components can eventually fail, resulting in less stopping power on Macon streets. Sutton Acura recommends annual brake inspections to check the brake pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, lines, and additional components.
Fluids & Filters
Most filters should be changed annually. Cabin air filters should be replaced every 15,000 miles, while engine air filters should be replaced every 30,000 to 45,000 miles. Fluids other than motor oil, such as power steering fluid, brake fluid, and engine coolant, should be checked every 6,000 miles and topped off as needed.
Battery Inspections
Car batteries act as the heart of your vehicle. If it loses power or stops working, you won't get anywhere. You should have your car battery checked every 6 months, or sooner if you think there's a problem. Most Acura car batteries last three to five years before Macon motorists require a replacement battery.
