Honda Odyssey Service Intervals
The Odyssey is Honda's entry into the minivan market and has been a dependable brand in that market for many years. Honda includes a service maintenance schedule for their customers when they purchase a new car. Honda is not unique in this offering, as every other manufacturer also consists of some form of a maintenance schedule. Almost every customer knows about the oil change schedule as most manufacturers require the motor oil to be changed every 3,000 - 5,000 miles or every three months, whichever comes first. The other end of the time scale has the transmission flush and timing belt replacement (if the car has one), requiring those to be done every 50,000 miles. Honda also has service intervals every 30,000 miles or once every two years. Those intervals require an oil change, replacement of the air cleaner, replacement of the dust filter, drive belt adjustment, tire rotation, and other checks and inspections.

The Importance of Service Intervals
Dealerships and Oil Change Garages only run many checks while doing the regular 3,000-mile oil change on the automobile. This is especially evident in oil change garages as their main mission requires your oil to be changed and minimal other checks to get the client's car completed as quickly as possible. The attention to detail required falls into these 30,000-mile service intervals. These inspections go into far greater depth to check on items and components that usually don't get checked on regular oil changes. Customers in Altoona, PA, can have these service intervals completed at Altoona Honda.
The Pitfalls of Skipping Service Intervals
Service intervals are vitally important to extend the car's life as components can break down prematurely without proper maintenance. The drive belts could wear down and snap if not properly checked. This snapping of the belts could acutely affect other internal engine components and cause more damage. Air cleaners that are gunked up could also affect the smooth running of the engine and cause other issues to crop up as well. Customers in Bellwood and Hollidaysburg, PA, can have their 30,000-mile service interval done at Altoona Honda, where our mechanics are certified and knowledgeable about your Odyssey.
