What to Know About 2006 Honda Insight Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Honda Insight, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Insight 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 Insight, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2006 Honda Insight maintenance schedule!

Honda knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Insight perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2006 Honda Insight problems in the future.

Overview of Essential Honda Insight Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2006 Honda Insight and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Insight. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2006 Honda Insight. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Insight may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Honda Insight battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Insight) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Honda Insight won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

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 2006 Honda Insight engine. To learn how often Honda recommends you have the oil changed in your 2006 Insight, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2006 Honda Insight.

Maintaining your Honda Insight steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Honda Insight suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Honda Insight's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Honda Insight maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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 Honda Insight’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Need a new Honda Insight radiator? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2006 Honda Insight maintenance.

Don’t wait until something goes wrong with your car. Visit your nearest location for proactive maintenance today.

2006 Honda Insight Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 2006 Honda Insight. Get answers to common Honda Insight maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have Honda Insight alignment checked? You know your Honda Insight better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When does my Honda Insight need high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Honda Insight engines.
  • Can Honda dashboard warning lights wait? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Honda Insight to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
