A big perk of routine Honda service is having your vehicle regularly inspected by a professional. Our expert technicians at Heritage Honda Westminster ensure parts are replaced when they’ve become too worn or compromised. After all, many auto parts can diminish your fuel efficiency once they've reached this point.
Mass Airflow Sensor
Your mass airflow sensor measures the amount of air flowing into your engine. Then it signals to your computer to regulate the fuel injection. So, if the sensor has become damaged or gotten too dirty, it won’t give accurate readings. This causes your vehicle to produce more energy than necessary and consume more fuel.
Oxygen Sensor
Your oxygen sensor’s main role is to monitor your vehicle’s exhaust flow. If it can no longer function properly, again, it will send inaccurate readings and cause issues with regulating your fuel injection. While they don’t require regular replacements, most oxygen sensors will need to be replaced after 100,000 miles.
Engine Oil
Your engine oil, on the other hand, needs to be replaced routinely. As it ages, it loses its efficiency. This forces your vehicle to work harder and to use more fuel than necessary. With routine oil changes you can keep your engine functioning efficiently and improve your gas mileage.
Air Filter
Your air filter can affect your engine’s efficiency as well. As your air filter becomes worn or clogged it restricts the air your engine gets. This will also diminish your fuel efficiency. Air filter replacement is part of your routine maintenance. On average, we recommend replacing your air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles.
