Motor oil keeps your Acura's finely tuned engine operating with power and efficiency. Any Acura owner who wishes to maximize their car's legendary longevity must change the motor oil on time. Here's a guide to optimal oil changes, which you can schedule at our Acura dealership in Indianapolis. more Oil Change Services Designed for Acura Vehicles How Often to Change Your Motor Oil Consult either your owner's manual or one of our technicians for the ideal oil service intervals for your particular Acura. You'll likely find that it's every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, which means twice a year for most drivers. There are a few factors that wear down motor oil more rapidly. If you regularly make short trips of under five miles, drive for long distances at low speeds, take your Acura on the track, or use very dusty, sandy, or muddy roads, consider refreshing your oil three or four times a year. When to Replace Your Oil Filter Another important Acura oil service is replacing the filter. The oil filter collects dirt, metal fragments, and sludge from the engine. If you forget to change this filter, it will eventually fill up and overflow, depositing these contaminants back into the system. Ideally, your oil filter should be removed and replaced each time you change the oil, but sometimes it's only necessary to replace the filter every other visit. Our technicians can inspect the filter whenever they change the oil and decide if it's time for a new one. Signs Your Oil or Filter Needs Changing With a well-planned oil service routine, your engine should perform smoothly without mishap for the car's entire lifespan. Nevertheless, it pays to know the signs of bad oil or an overflowing filter so you can quickly notice and remedy the situation. Low Oil Pressure Most oil-related problems will trigger the oil pressure warning light to appear on your dashboard. This light may indicate diminished volume, degraded quality, a clogged filter, or perhaps an oil leak. Leaking Oil It's not unheard of for motor oil to leak from a worn gasket, pan, drain plug, filter, or seal. Leaking oil might drip over the heated engine block or exhaust manifold, burning up and creating a burning oil smell. Falling Power Without the full lubrication of fresh oil, your engine will start to lose power. Your acceleration will feel sluggish and unresponsive. Check Engine Light With bad oil, you'll soon see the check engine light appear. This alert won't specify oil as the problem, but our technicians will soon work it out. Set Up Regular Oil Service at Your Acura Dealership Allow us to schedule routine maintenance for your Acura's engine. Our specialist Acura technicians can keep your luxury car purring along in tip-top shape for many years to come. Head to Ed Martin Acura in Indianapolis, IN, for prompt oil service.

Routine maintenance is the easiest way to keep your Acura in tip-top shape. When you visit your Acura dealership, you can book a variety of vehicle services, such as routine oil changes, tire rotations, and a comprehensive multipoint inspection. Learn about the benefits of Acura inspection, how to book streamlined service, and more. more Revitalize Your Acura with Our Comprehensive Multipoint Inspection A multipoint vehicle inspection is a service that inspects the most essential components of your vehicle to identify visible damage that can cause performance issues. Some vehicle components that are covered during an inspection include the steering system, tires, brake system, suspension system, battery, transmission, engine oil, windshield, and other vehicle fluids. Your Acura mechanic will also examine key safety equipment, like seat belts and airbags, as well as common wear-and-tear parts like exterior lights, windshield wipers, and air filters. Examining the condition of the air conditioning system, power steering fluid, and parts of the drivetrain is also common. Acura commonly checks the underside of the chassis to search for corrosion or road damage, as well. Are Repairs Made After an Acura Inspection? After a certified Acura technician inspects your vehicle, either during a routine service appointment or at your request to diagnose specific performance issues, repairs are usually performed immediately. Because a multipoint inspection is a key tool for preventative maintenance, it's a good opportunity to correct minor issues that are identified during the inspection to save you time and money down the road. Scheduling Fast Service at Your Acura Dealership While you have the option of scheduling a stand-alone vehicle inspection, you can bundle your routine services with a multipoint inspection for your convenience. Acura Accelerated Service can complete routine maintenance and vehicle inspections within one hour so you can quickly get back on the road. Drivers do not need to schedule an appointment to access this speedy service routine. Additionally, a complimentary car wash voucher is supplied with Acura Accelerated Service. Acura Accelerated Service Packages can replace your regular maintenance intervals at 7,500 miles and 15,000 miles. The 15,000-mile package adds engine air filter and cabin air filter replacements, along with a tire wear measurement so you know how soon you will need to replace tires. Drivers can also have differential fluid and automatic transmission fluid changed during this streamlined service appointment. When Should You Schedule a Multipoint Inspection? Aside from your regular service intervals, it can be a good idea to drop by your dealership for a multipoint inspection if you are about to go on a road trip or you are preparing your vehicle for seasonal weather. Identifying potential issues before long trips or inclement weather can ensure your Acura is ready for challenging performance demands. Acura's multipoint vehicle inspection is a comprehensive examination of your vehicle's most critical systems that can prevent major damage and expensive repairs in the future.

This spacious model is decked out with intuitive standard technology to refine your driving experience. more Five Standout Features of the 2025 Acura TLX 1. Super Handling All-Wheel Drive While the entry-level TLX is equipped with a front-wheel drivetrain ideal for urban handling, upper models like the A-Spec are outfitted with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. This innovative Acura-exclusive AWD drivetrain maximizes the sporty performance of the sedan on dry roads, so you can accelerate more aggressively and take corners with greater agility. The SH-AWD system works by constantly monitoring the power distribution for all four wheels. The sensors pay close attention to the power of each rear wheel to analyze wheel spin speed and other factors to optimize sporty handling. This system can direct 45% of engine power to the rear drive axle to increase torque and traction during hard acceleration, or it can direct 70% of torque to the outer rear wheels for better cornering performance. 2. GPS-Linked Climate Control GPS-Linked Climate Control reimagines air conditioning regulation by using real-time weather data to adjust the in-cabin climate. This system works by tracking the position of the sun and the intensity of UV rays, then raises or lowers the air conditioning to ensure your cabin is comfortable. This climate control technology is paired with a dual-zone automatic climate system with integrated humidity control. 3. ELS Studio Premium Audio The TLX comes with a 13-speaker audio system that delivers crisp sound quality so you can enjoy your favorite playlist or podcast.

As time passes, vehicle components will wear out due to age or damage. This can make driving dangerous, as vehicle handling and control could become difficult. At your Acura dealership, we can repair any problem. We want to tell you about some of the signs you need to visit us for Acura maintenance. more Signs You Need To Visit Your Acura Dealership for Acura Maintenance Uneven Tire Wear Tire tread will wear down over time due to surface friction as you drive or brake. They will also suffer additional damage due to issues like incorrect wheel alignment or poor tire balance. These three issues cause sections of the tire tread to hit the surface harder than necessary. If you notice uneven tire wear, contact our service department, and we'll investigate. Alignment is the wheel angle viewed from directly above and from the front. Alignment is perfect when your Acura is new, but this can change due to hitting a pothole or driving over irregular terrain. We fix it by attaching your wheels to our computerized alignment machine. Tire balance issues are repaired by fitting each tire on our balancing machine and then adding additional weight to the tire to center its balance on the wheel hub. Worn Shocks If your Acura sways to one side, bounces as you drive, or squats down at the front or rear, your shocks are probably damaged. A shock absorber connects each wheel to the suspension, and its job is to smooth out driving over bumps or other irregular surfaces. In these situations, the shocks extend and compress to absorb the energy caused by the impact and dissipate it. Shocks wear out in time, and they are usually replaced every 50,000 to 100,000 miles. They need an earlier replacement if you routinely travel over rough surfaces or carry heavy loads. Our technicians will test your shocks and replace them if they're damaged, and you'll enjoy a smooth driving experience once again. Slower Braking Your Acura's brakes are designed to stop your vehicle almost instantly when you hit the brake pedal. If the brakes take longer to engage or your braking distance has increased, your braking system could be in trouble. Damaged calipers, worn brake pads, or low brake fluid can all cause these problems. Suspension problems can also reduce braking speed, as the suspension helps to keep the tires in contact with the surface to provide correct traction. Damage to the suspension can cause the tires to dip, reducing their ability to adequately grip the surface. We'll find and fix the problem, and your braking responsiveness will return to normal. These are just some of the issues we can repair. If your Acura isn't working as well as it should, contact our service department at Ed Martin Acura in Indianapolis, IN.

The brake fluid in your vehicle is used to translate the pressure you apply to the brake pedal to an equivalent amount of power applied to the brakes to stop or slow down your car. When your fluid is old or too low, your vehicle will not stop as quickly, which could lead to performance issues on the road. For ideal performance, schedule routine brake service at your Acura dealership. more Ensure Optimal Stopping Power with Acura Brake Fluid Exchange Most often, you will need to schedule a service to enhance the fluid in your brake system every few years. For average drivers, service every three years or 45,000 miles is adequate. However, if you have a habit of riding your brakes or you drive in bumper-to-bumper traffic, you may need to schedule brake service every other year to ensure your brake system is ready for the road. Why Do You Need a Fluid Exchange? Although the fluid in your brake system is sealed and self-contained, it can become dirty simply from being used over several thousand miles. Dirty fluid will not correctly translate the amount of brake pressure from the pedal to the brakes. It's also sometimes the case that excess moisture entering the fluid line of your brake system can throw off the chemistry of your vehicle's fluid, which can cause performance issues. What Are Signs of Brake System Issues? When your brake system encounters issues related to fluid levels, it's common for the dashboard indicator warning light for your vehicle's anti-lock braking system to turn on. You should book brake service as soon as this light turns on, since it might not be safe to drive on the road when the brake system is having performance issues. Sometimes, the first sign of brake issues may be the feel of a hard or soft brake pedal. A soft brake pedal that feels squishy or spongy when the brakes are applied is usually a sign of low fluid. You may also notice a burning smell if your brakes are overheating, or you may hear your brakes squealing when the brake pads are thinning. What Happens During Brake Service at Your Acura Dealership? During your brake service appointment, an Acura mechanic will start with a visual inspection of all brake components, from the fluid level to the pads and rotors. Any parts that appear old or worn out will be replaced, such as when brake pads are thinning. The next step will be to drain old fluid out of your brake system and replace it with new fluid that meets the performance standards for your vehicle. The brake system is your vehicle's first line of safety on the road, so it's essential to book service as soon as you notice brake performance problems. Contact Ed Martin Acura in Indianapolis, IN to schedule a fluid exchange today.
