2012 Honda Odyssey Maintenance

You want your Honda Odyssey to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Odyssey could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Odyssey, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2012 Honda Odyssey 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Odyssey running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 Honda Odyssey problems later.

Bring your 2012 Honda Odyssey to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Odyssey’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2012 Honda Odyssey be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Honda Odyssey 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Odyssey) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Honda Odyssey 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 2012 Honda Odyssey engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 Odyssey. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2012 Honda Odyssey.

Maintaining your Honda Odyssey steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Honda Odyssey steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Honda Odyssey's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Honda Odyssey maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Honda Odyssey cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Honda Odyssey? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it.
