Some of the most important sensors in your Acura are the oxygen sensors. As their name suggests, these sensors monitor the oxygen level in your engine. This is essential, as oxygen must mix with fuel in a precise ratio to power combustion. Sensors can wear out or become damaged, with serious consequences for your engine. As your Acura dealership, we'd like you to know a few signs you need to visit us for oxygen sensor replacement. more Signs You Need an Oxygen Sensor Replacement at Your Acura Dealership Reduced Fuel Economy Combustion requires far more fuel than air, as fuel can't burn successfully without enough oxygen. Air enters the engine through the engine air filter and mixes with fuel in the intake manifold. The oxygen sensors monitor the air level and inform your computer so it can ensure the correct amount of fuel is added to the mixture. A worn or damaged sensor won't supply the right information, forcing your computer to guess the amount of fuel to add. If the computer guesses wrong, your engine could receive more fuel than air. Excessive fuel turns your engine fuel-rich. The lack of air prevents most of the fuel from burning, and it's dumped out the exhaust. Once we replace the sensor, the fuel-air mixture will return to normal. Black Exhaust Smoke As we saw above, low oxygen levels prevent most of the fuel from burning. The hot fuel is dumped into the exhaust system and travels to the catalytic converter. The converter converts dangerous, toxic engine gases into harmless ones. The converter uses extreme heat during the conversion process, and the hot fuel can raise its internal temperature too high and damage it. The unburnt fuel passes out the tailpipe, usually accompanied by hisses, pops, and occasional small flames when the fuel touches the hot metal. The accompanying black cloud has a strong fuel smell and is also toxic. If you live in Lake or Porter counties, this smoke will cause your Acura to fail its smog check. Your exhaust smoke will turn thin and whispy again once a new sensor is installed. Check Engine Light The check engine light comes on when engine sensors detect a problem that affects engine performance. Sensors are attached to all essential engine components to monitor them and ensure they're working correctly. If the oxygen mixture in your engine is wrong, the spark plugs won't ignite the mixture successfully, causing a misfire or even stalling your vehicle. In addition, a fuel-rich atmosphere coats the plugs and ignition coils in sticky carbon, further reducing their performance. All these issues reduce performance, and this will cause the check engine light to illuminate. Sensors are quick and relatively inexpensive to replace.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​As we all know, winters here in Indianapolis, IN, get very cold. Our flat prairie landscape allows the wind to howl across the land and drop the temperature even further. Winter driving requires good preparation and regular car maintenance to enjoy a safe, trouble-free driving season, and it's never too early to start taking steps to keep your family safer on the road. As your Acura dealership, we want to give you a few tips on good maintenance to prepare for the weather. more Battery Check The average life of a battery is three to five years, but this can be reduced due to extreme weather. Our winters can be battery-killers, particularly if you have an older battery. Low temperatures make the battery's electrolyte solution more viscous, reducing its power and storage capacity. If the temperature drops to 0 F or lower, the electrolyte can freeze, and your battery will fail. We advise testing your battery before winter arrives. Our technicians will connect your battery to our computerized battery tester. This machine subjects your battery to various tests to determine its strength and storage capacity. If your battery is weak, we can replace it in minutes to ensure it works through the winter. If your battery is healthy, we advise parking your Acura in a garage in winter, if possible, to prevent your battery from freezing outside. Fluid Check Your Acura contains numerous fluids that keep your engine clean and healthy, allow the brakes to work effectively, ensure your transmission shifts gears, and that your windshield stays clean. All these fluids weaken over time and become less efficient. Older brake fluid, for example, can overheat and lose its ability to provide the hydraulic power your brakes need to engage. Engine oil is a particular concern in winter. Old oil is thick, and it becomes even thicker as the temperature drops. Thicker oil can block the oil filter, causing engine problems ranging from increased friction damage to components to an overheated engine. Our technicians can easily check all your fluids and replace them if necessary. Windshield Wiper Check Your windshield wipers are easy to forget, but they're vital when snow starts to fall. Your wipers can quickly clear snow and ice off the windshield to give you the visibility you need. We check your wipers to ensure the rubber blades are in good condition. Cracks in the wipers can cause them to break, and broken wipers can scratch your windshield. We can install winter wipers to make driving in snow much easier. Their heavier and thicker blades are more resistant to damage from the cold. We'll also replace your windshield wiper fluid with a variant that includes antifreeze to prevent the wiper fluid from freezing in low temperatures. If you'd like to know more about preparing your vehicle for winter, contact us today at Ed Martin Acura in Indianapolis, IN.

If the muffler on your car ever malfunctions, you're likely to be assaulted by much louder engine sounds and unpleasant exhaust odors, along with various other car problems. Let's take a look at the most common warning signs of a bad car muffler. It's advisable to have an Acura service right away to have a faulty muffler repaired. If repair isn't possible, you might need to have a new muffler installed instead. more Unusually Loud Engine Roaring As the name implies, the primary purpose of a muffler is to muffle the car's engine sounds. This keeps our cities relatively quiet and free from excessive road noise pollution. The first sign of a malfunctioning muffler is usually dramatically increased engine volume. As most states have strict laws regarding the maximum decibel levels that car engines are permitted to make, it's wise to have a faulty muffler repaired or replaced without delay. Foul-Smelling Exhaust Fumes The catalytic converter does the lion's share of converting noxious exhaust fumes into more benign gases. However, the muffler helps in this task, also filtering some of the fumes. This means when a muffler breaks down, more toxic fumes will be escaping the exhaust than usual. As some of these fumes smell terrible, you're likely to smell the difference from inside the cabin right away. Excessive Build-Up of Rust Over time, mufflers are remarkably susceptible to damage from rust. This is because the constant variations in temperature inside the exhaust system generate a great deal of condensation. This water runs out through the exhaust pipes and usually drips from specially placed holes in the bottom of the muffler. So much moisture naturally starts to generate rust, which can eventually ruin the muffler. Falling Fuel Efficiency Faulty mufflers sometimes become clogged up, restricting the outflow of fumes from the engine. This creates a backup of gases, which can prevent sufficient fresh oxygen from entering the engine's cylinders at the front of the vehicle. As a result, the engine will start to lose power and might even misfire and experience several other problems. Rising Engine Temperature One of the worst potential results of a clogged muffler is an overheating engine. This occurs as exhaust fumes become backed up, and the combustion process becomes interrupted, leading to a general build-up of heat. It's never wise to drive for long if you suspect your engine is overheating. Ask Your Acura Service If You Need a New Muffler Mufflers can sometimes be repaired and granted a few more years of effective use, but often they'll also need to be replaced. Ask a trusted technician at your local dealership to service your entire exhaust system and determine whether or not your muffler needs to go. Have your vehicle's muffler checked and repaired or replaced today at Ed Martin Acura. We're an award-winning local dealership providing top-notch vehicles, deals, financing, and customer service.

Trouble with your car audio can be frustrating. When your sound system isn't working right, or maybe isn't working altogether, a trip to the Acura dealer can solve the issue quickly. more Anti-Theft Lockout Many Acura vehicles are equipped with an anti-theft feature on their audio system. If the system detects what it perceives as tampering, or after a power interruption like battery disconnection, it might lock itself to prevent theft. This is often followed by a specific message or code on the display. While this is a useful security feature, it can be frustrating if you don't know how to reset it. Malfunctioning Infotainment System Modern Acuras come with a sophisticated infotainment system that integrates audio with other in-car technologies. Freezing or glitching, unresponsive touch screens, problems with the car's software, or difficulties in connection with mobile devices can be frustrating and make it difficult to use important functions. Wiring Issues While factory installations typically ensure a secure and compatible setup, wiring problems can still happen, especially in older vehicles or those with aftermarket modifications. Loose connections, worn-out wires, or corrosion can all lead to problems with your audio system's performance. Speaker Problems Speakers are a vital part of your car's audio system, and they can deteriorate over time or get damaged. Problems might include blown speakers, disconnected wires, or issues with the speaker cone. Sometimes, the problem might not be the stereo itself but a single speaker, affecting sound quality or causing crackling and popping noises. Faulty Head Unit The head unit is the core of your car's audio system. If it's experiencing issues, it could manifest in various ways, from complete failure to turn on, to irregular functions. These problems could be due to internal failures, software glitches, or just wear and tear over time. Blown Fuses A blown fuse is one of the most common and simplest issues to fix in a car's audio system. If your radio suddenly stops working, it might be due to a blown fuse in the system's circuit. You may be tempted to check and replace the fuses yourself, but figuring out why the fuse blew in the first place is crucial to prevent future issues. Visit Your Acura Dealer for Help When facing any audio system issue, a visit to the dealership is a great place to start. Our Acura-trained technicians understand your model's unique systems. Dealerships have the right tools to diagnose issues quickly and correctly, ensuring the problem is fixed right the first time. Plus, any repairs or replacements will be done using genuine Acura parts, and may even come with a warranty. Don't waste time driving around in static or silence. Call Ed Martin Acura and schedule an appointment for us to take a look at your audio system.

Regular preventative maintenance appointments keep your Acura running as the manufacturer intended. Fortunately, your Acura dealer offers services to make this as simple as possible. This makes it easy to experience benefits like a more fuel-efficient car and helps prevent expensive repairs. more 1. Prevent Expensive Repairs A great Acura technician will check the vehicle over when it's brought in for regular maintenance. This gives them a chance to spot problems early on. For example, they might notice a faulty part that has become weakened. They can replace this before it fully breaks and causes damage that would lead to expensive repairs. 2. A More Fuel-Efficient Car Regular maintenance optimizes your Acura, so it runs more efficiently. When a vehicle's tires are underinflated, the car has to work harder to keep the vehicle moving. If oil filters are clogged, the vehicle has to work harder to push oil through the filters. The harder a car has to work, the worse the vehicle's fuel economy will be. Acura's that are brought in for regular service appointments run cleaner, smoother, and are more fuel-efficient vehicles. This leads to savings at the gas pump and a lower carbon footprint. 3. Retain Your Car's Value With Service From Your Acura Dealer The technicians at the dealership are highly trained in Acuras. This means they have intimate knowledge specifically of what the manufacturer intended for Acuras. They perform maintenance and repairs with those specifications in mind, keeping the vehicle in excellent condition. Used car buyers are looking for a great vehicle that's in top condition and has a full-service history. Bringing your Acura right into the dealership for service appointments will give you a higher chance of achieving the best resale value possible. 4. Improved Safety Acuras have a very strong reputation for building safe cars with strong body structures. It's important to keep all of the vehicle's parts well-maintained in order to keep them as safe as possible. For example, regular maintenance will include tasks like replacing worn-out brake pads. This keeps your vehicle stopping in time to prevent collisions. Services like tire rotations, oil changes, and replacing timing belts will also reduce the chances of a vehicle breaking down. 5. Save Time Major repairs are not only expensive, they are a huge hassle that cost drivers a lot of time. Often, major repairs will mean that drivers have to rent another vehicle and plan their days around the repair schedule. Regular maintenance appointments prevent these kinds of major repairs and can be handled quickly. In fact, at Ed Martin Acura, we provide our customers with an Acura Accelerated Service program. Customers who use this program are in and out of our dealership within 60 minutes. Our team of technicians provides comprehensive services to keep your Acura in top condition.

Transmissions are filled with intricate moving parts that need to be kept in tip-top condition. If you ever allow your car's transmission fluid to degrade or a small gearbox problem to develop, you might end up with a difficult and expensive repair job on your hands. Routine transmission service at your local Acura dealer is the key to keeping your transmission well-maintained. Here's what this service will usually entail. more Flushing the Transmission Fluid Transmission fluid lubricates the bearings, gears, valves, and other moving mechanical parts, helping to reduce friction and heat. The fluid also cleans out debris and contaminants from the gears and maintains hydraulic pressure, which helps the entire system work. Over time, transmission fluid naturally starts to break down in all the heat and friction. As it loses its beneficial qualities, the fluid needs to be flushed out and replaced. When you take your car in for servicing, the old fluid will first be drained. The condition of the drain plug will be checked, and then new fluid will be put into the transmission. It's important to have a technician carry this task out because using the wrong fluid for your vehicle's make and model could cause harm to your gearbox. Replacing the Transmission Filter Dirt, debris, tiny metal fragments, and other contaminants can build up in transmission fluid as it flows through the system. The transmission filter collects this debris, thereby keeping the fluid clean. During routine service, the filter will be checked. If it's too clogged up with dirt and debris, it will be replaced with a new one. Often, the pan will also be checked, and a fresh gasket installed at the same time. Full Transmission Inspection and Clean The most complete service will involve inspecting every part of the transmission carefully for signs of wear, tear, leaks, and other issues. The pan and pan gasket will be cleaned or replaced, and the transmission sump will also be examined. The entire internal system will be inspected for signs of damage or trapped debris, including the planetary gears, torque converter, hydraulic pump, clutches, brakes, valves, bearings, and other parts. Once serviced, the transmission will be tested to ensure it's all in good working order. How Often To Have Your Transmission Checked at Your Acura Dealer It's best to ask a trusted technician how often the transmission of your car requires a routine service visit. Most automatic transmissions need to be serviced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, whereas manual transmissions typically need servicing more frequently: every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Visit Ed Martin Acura today to have your transmission inspected by courteous, knowledgeable technicians.

The 2023 Acura RDX is making a splash in the market and catching the attention of drivers everywhere. With its plush interior comfort, stellar fuel economy, adventurous ride, and competitive price tag, it certainly earns the popularity it has obtained. As one of the best Acura dealer locations in the Indianapolis area, we are thrilled to offer this luxury SUV to drivers like you. more 1. It Packs a Mean Punch The RDX looks impressive at first glance, but the power under the hood still manages to pleasantly surprise drivers. This is thanks to the two-liter Turbo Aluminum-Alloy four-cylinder Mono-scroll engine. It grants the SUV 272 horsepower and 280 pound-per-feet of torque. Its ten-speed automatic transmission allows it to reach from 0-60 MPH in just over six seconds. 2. The Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) This program is responsible for making the RDX such a thrill to drive. Rather than sticking with the standard gears, Acura created four driving modes to cover different terrains and road conditions. These modes can be selected by simply turning the IDS knob located on the center console display screen, making the program extremely user-friendly and easy to toggle. The four modes are Snow, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+. The Snow mode is great for slippery roads where traction is lacking. When selected, your Acura will control the torque going to each individual wheel to keep things even. The Comfort mode expertly balances its drive between smooth luxury and responsive handling. The Sport mode reduces power steering for added control and heightens the throttle's responses to driver input. The Sport+ mode is the thrill-seeker's favorite. It keeps the Sport mode active but offers more shifting power and aggression. 3. Safety Matters to Acura This year's RDX is jam-packed with top safety features. Just a few of our AcuraWatch Safety System favorites are the Traffic Sign Recognition software, the Agile Handling Assist, and the Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow. Thanks to Collision Mitigation, Lane Keeping, Rear Cross-Traffic Monitor, and Blind Spot Information programs, your Acura employs sensors on all sides of your SUV for 360 degrees of protection.

Whether you choose to buy a new or used car at the Acura dealer, you'll have to have it serviced on a regular basis. One of the most important types of maintenance is brake service. Because the brakes are such a vital component of your vehicle, they affect all other parts and can cause problems with safety, durability, and fuel efficiency. Read on to find out why you should have your Acura serviced at the dealer at least once a year. more 1. You Save Money on Repairs and Parts Replacement Acuras are extremely durable, and you can expect your brake pads and other car components to last for many miles. Despite this, you should come to the mechanic approximately once a year to have your brakes inspected. That way, small issues can be discovered and fixed early. This is almost always cheaper than letting the problem spiral out of control since faulty car parts can cause damage to other components inside the Acura. In the long run, maintaining your vehicle properly saves you a lot of money and can even improve the lifespan of the car. 2. You Save Money on Gas Did you know that the effectiveness of your brakes affects your gas mileage? If your brakes are stuck or worn, your car must fight constantly to maintain momentum, which increases the amount of power it uses. This causes a dramatic drop in fuel efficiency, which is a problem for both the environment and your wallet. With gas prices rising steadily, optimizing your car's mpg can significantly affect your monthly budget, especially if you drive frequently. 3. You Are Safer Although saving money is important, safety is an even more crucial factor. As you can imagine, faulty brakes can increase the chances of a serious or even life-threatening accident. In fact, a lack of car maintenance or bad workmanship causes thousands of accidents every year, all of which are preventable. Therefore, you should never skip the visit to the dealership, where your brakes and other vital car components can be inspected and repaired. Because we only employ highly trained Acura mechanics, you can be sure that the quality of service is high, so you no longer have to worry about your safety on the road. 4. You Can Sell your Car for More Acura vehicles are ranked among the most long-lasting luxury cars, and many models can go on for 250,000 to 300,000 miles. Despite this, most drivers prefer to upgrade to a newer Acura every few years. When you're ready to sell your car, you'll need to provide its maintenance record. You can almost always get a much higher price for a car that has a history of professional service than for a vehicle that hasn't been maintained according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Therefore, getting your brakes serviced can increase your Acura's resale value. Having your brakes serviced at the local brand-name dealership is necessary because it reduces your overall maintenance cost, prevents problems with fuel efficiency, keeps you and your passengers safe, and helps you maintain your car's value. Message us now at Ed Martin Acura in Indianapolis, IN to book your service appointment with our friendly technicians. image courtesy of pexels.com
