2008 Honda CR-V Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Honda CR-V to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your CR-V 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. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine CR-V maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2008 Honda CR-V!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Honda themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; 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 CR-V's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2008 Honda CR-V problems later.

Bring your 2008 Honda CR-V to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your CR-V's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2008 Honda CR-V. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your CR-V may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Honda CR-V battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty CR-V) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Honda CR-V could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2008 Honda CR-V engine. See Honda's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2008 CR-V in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2008 Honda CR-V.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Honda CR-V can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Honda CR-V's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Honda CR-V maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
