Acura Fall Maintenance Tips

Acura Vehicle Services We Recommend Before Fall

We’ve noticed the end-of-summer weather change as average daily temperatures are on the decline in Chicago. This means at McGrath Acura of Morton Grove that we’ve been gearing up for another busy fall helping our customers prepare their world-class vehicles for a frigid winter. Fall Maintenance is all about restoring essential components (tires, fluids, battery) prone to rapid wear and tear for reliable cold-weather performance this winter. Many automotive components are prone to failure from extreme temperatures, which makes the fall season the perfect time to maintain those vital components. At McGrath Acura, we are well versed in fall maintenance best practices that have been tried and tested to confirm legitimacy.

Fall Maintenance Tips

At McGrath Acura of Morton Grove, we have designed six vital best-practice tips for your Acura’s Fall Maintenance. Our Fall Maintenance Tips have been informed by years of maintaining Acura vehicles and knowing what components are vital to performance but have a shorter life. Here are the six Fall Maintenance Tips:

    1. Fluids – inspect, top off, and exchange all fluids before winter to ensure that they are at peak performance, including engine oil, coolant/antifreeze, windshield wiper,and transmission fluids.  

    2. Filters – inspect and replace all filters, including the cabin air, engine air, and fuel filters as needed to secure peak performance. 

    3. Tires – make sure that tires are in good condition with a physical inspection, tread depth & inflation checks, replacing worn or defective tires as needed to ensure reliable winter performance. 

    4. Battery – always have the battery inspected and tested to confirm adequate reserve capacity and cold-cranking amps when cold weather arrives.  

    5. Lights – check all lights to ensure that they are functioning properly. 

    6. Multi-Point Inspection – the absolute best way to know that a vehicle is ready for winter weather is with a professional Multi-Point Inspection that removes the uncertainty about the condition of the vehicle and what maintenance will improve performance, efficiency, and safety.
