2004 Acura RL Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Acura RL to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your RL could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your RL, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2004 Acura RL maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Acura, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your RL's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2004 Acura RL problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2004 Acura RL and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your RL’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2004 Acura RL? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your RL may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Acura RL battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your RL stranded. Your Acura RL won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2004 Acura RL engine. See Acura's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2004 RL in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2004 Acura RL.

Maintaining your Acura RL steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

If you skip recommended Acura RL services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Acura RL’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too.
