Recommended Oil Change Frequency

The recommended oil change frequency is around every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. However, this depends on your individual driving habits and climate. So, if you take part in any of the following, you might need to have a closer oil change frequency:

  • Off-roading
  • Commercial use
  • Racing
  • Heavy towing

Tips on Oil Change Frequency

Let’s check out some tips on oil change frequency to help you throughout the process. If you have any questions, be sure to call your local Woodinville service center.

  • Look at your owner’s manual to see if you should put synthetic or conventional oil in your vehicle. Synthetic oil is more, however, it lasts longer.
  • Because oil breaks down even if the vehicle is not driven often, your oil change frequency should still be about once per year.
  • Always change your oil filter when you change your oil. Our helpful parts center can point you in the right direction of which one is best for your vehicle.

How Often Should You Check Your Oil Level?

You should check your oil level once per month to catch any potential issues down the road. Looks for things such as changes in your oil’s color and texture, as this could point to more expensive issues in the future.

Service Specials at Honda of Kirkland

Cabin Air Filter Replacement

$10 Off

Your vehicle’s cabin air filter helps remove allergens, particulates, and odors from the interior of your vehicle, keeping things nice and fresh. The cabin air filter also helps keep your interior clean, by removing dust from the air. Like all filters, your Honda’s cabin air filter will become clogged over time. As the filter becomes clogged, it will work less efficiently…you’ll get less airflow, more dust, more odors, etc.

If you suffer from allergies, asthma, or a great sense of smell, you NEED to replace your Honda’s Cabin Air Filter on a regular basis. And an OEM replacement is best, as Honda specifies the amount of filtration for each specific system. Some after-market filters are too light, meaning they won’t filter enough air. Other filters are too heavy, which will strain your vehicle’s HVAC system.
