Acura Genuine Oils and Fluids Learn More
Your Acura is built for performance and solid dependability. An integral part of keeping it that way is using new Acura Genuine Vital Fluids at factory recommended intervals.
Over time, fluids lose essential protective properties, and waiting too long between changes can lead to mechanical damage and costly repairs. Acura Genuine Motor Oil, Antifreeze/Coolant, Brake Fluid, Automatic Transmission Fluid and Power Steering Fluid are specially formulated to protect your Acura's mechanical components from harmful deposits, rust, corrosion and oxidation. Please check the maintenance schedules in your owner's manual for recommended fluid change intervals.
Automatic Transmission Fluid Learn More
Most people don't stop to think about the fluid in their automatic transmission. The truth is that fluid in their automatic transmission has a direct impact on how well their transmission shifts, how smoothly it performs, and how long the transmission lasts. Transmission fluid also has a direct impact on your Acura's fuel economy. Acura Genuine Automatic Transmission Fluid has been thoroughly laboratory-tested, and is specifically formulated to meet the needs of Acura vehicles. It uses the finest ingredients that deliver the ideal friction properties for efficient shifting, economical transfer of power, and a smooth ride with exceptional performance.
Antifreeze Protection Learn More
When you're driving in extreme temperatures, the last thing you need is engine failure. Whether in extreme heat or cold, Acura Genuine Longlife Blue Antifreeze/Coolant provides long-term corrosion protection to all metal and non-metal parts of your Acura's cooling system and protects against boil over and freezing. Acura Genuine Longlife Blue Antifreeze/Coolant is the only coolant designed specifically for Acura vehicles. Its pre-mixed formulation is so advanced, no coolant service is required for up to 10 years or 120,000 miles. Use Acura Genuine Longlife Blue Antifreeze/Coolant for optimum long-term engine performance.
Genuine Brake Fluid Learn More
You put your foot on the brake pedal and the vehicle slows. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? The fact is, your Acura's braking system experiences significant stress, especially in stop-and-go traffic. Over time, the brake fluid it uses can become contaminated, or simply lose its effectiveness. That's why Acura recommends replacing brake fluid every three years with Acura Genuine Brake Fluid. Specially formulated to work with Acura braking systems, Acura Genuine Brake Fluid contains moisture inhibitors that help maintain correct lubricity and fluidity in virtually any driving conditions. What's more, its blend of top-quality ingredients is designed to maintain effectiveness for the full three-year period between recommended changes.
Power Steering Fluid Learn More
Maybe it's hard to believe that using the wrong power steering fluid is a mistake you can hear. But it's true. An inferior power steering fluid can allow friction, and friction makes noise. With a higher viscosity than most other power steering fluids, an exclusive blend of friction modifiers and a special base oil (after all, quality starts with the basic ingredient), Acura Genuine Power Steering Fluid is formulated to counter friction effectively, and is 100% compatible with all Acura power steering system components. Help your Acura last longer and run quieter. Always insist on Acura Genuine Power Steering Fluid.
Top Quality Oil Learn More
Motor oil is your engine's lifeblood. It lubricates your engine and protects moving parts to keep things running right. With the variety of grades and viscosities available, choosing the right motor oil may seem confusing. Acura Genuine Motor Oils are blended and tested to meet strict Acura requirements, and are available in a variety of grades and viscosities, each formulated specifically for use in Acura engines. You see, Acura engines are designed to work best with lower-viscosity motor oils, and oil not specified for them can diminish engine performance. So how do you pick the right motor oil with so many brands and types to choose from? Easy. Just look for the only motor oil with the Acura name.
Know How Often To Change Your Oil
If you're not sure when it's time to bring your vehicle into Hopkins Acura of Fairfield for an oil change, it's best to consult your Acura owner's manual. That's where you'll find recommendations and information related to your vehicle's model year, trim and engine type that could affect the best type of oil. For most newer cars, oil change service should be scheduled in 5,000-mile intervals.
The Right Time for Oil Change Service
There are some key indicators for determining when it's the right time to get your Acura serviced for an oil change. The first sign to look out for is if the oil change indicator light comes on your dash. Another way to tell that your car is due is if it's been more than 5,000 since your last oil change. Other signs to look out for include smelling burnt oil or checking the oil and it's color appears very dark upon inspection.
