Upscale Interior Comfortable cloth seats, automatic climate control, and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are some of the amenities you can enjoy on the base Accord Hybrid. The driver sits behind a customizable 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster. On the Sport-L Hybrid and Touring Hybrid trims, the driver's seat comes with 10-way power adjustment and memory settings.

Your engine is the heart of your vehicle, and it needs to be protected to ensure your vehicle remains running reliably. Follow Honda oil change protocols to protect your engine. If you're unsure of how you should care for your motor by keeping your engine oil and oil filter clean, read on to discover everything you need to know about why and how often you should visit your Honda dealer for preventative engine maintenance. more Routine oil replacements help ensure engine oil leaks are detected and corrected quickly. If an engine oil leak is neglected for too long, your motor could overheat. Routine oil replacements also help ensure that clean oil circulates throughout your powertrain. Dirty engine oil is ineffective and can lead to unnecessary wear and tear, requiring more frequent repair work. Routine oil replacement is also vital for ​your vehicle's longevity because it helps ​prevent the formation of rust inside your engine. Also, ​clean engine oil traps contaminants that could otherwise damage your engine. How Often You Should Visit Your Honda Dealer for an Engine Oil Replacement You should bring your Honda in for an oil replacement when you see the maintenance message on your dashboard if you want to help ensure your motor lasts as long as possible. If you don't drive a lot, come in for an oil replacement at least annually. Even when engine oil doesn't circulate a lot, it breaks down over time. Note that you should schedule an oil replacement if you notice certain warning signs from your vehicle. It's advisable to check your engine oil monthly to ensure it's still in good condition. If your engine oil level is low or your oil is dirty or discolored, schedule an oil replacement right away. What You Need to Know About Severe Driving Conditions You should know that you will probably need more frequent oil replacements if you put your motor under severe strain regularly. For example, if you use your Honda to tow anything or haul anything on the roof regularly, your engine is put under a lot of strain. Additionally, driving long distances in hot temperatures at highway speeds causes rapid engine oil degradation. You also could benefit from more frequent oil replacements if you often drive over dusty, muddy, gravel, or salted roads regularly. ​Another common example of severe driving conditions is driving for long distances at speeds that don't exceed 50 miles per hour. Clean engine oil keeps your engine's moving parts lubricated, helping to prevent overheating. Friction is also reduced, minimizing wear and tear. If it's been a while since your last oil filter change, contact us today at Perry Honda in Bishop, CA to schedule a service appointment. Image via Honda

As you drive, continual knocks against curbs and over rough patches of the road can gradually push your wheels out of alignment. Wheel misalignment leads to more than just a bumpier ride; it also harms your handling, tire lifespan, road safety, and gas mileage. Here's an overview of the key symptoms of this problem and how the technicians at your local Honda dealership can resolve the issue with prompt wheel alignment. more Keep Your Steering Straight The most worrisome result of misaligned wheels is how it disrupts your steering and handling. If your steering wheel has become permanently tilted to one side or your car tends to veer away from a straight line, then your wheels are likely misaligned. Any such reduction in steering precision is dangerous and should be resolved as soon as possible. Enjoy a Smoother Ride When your wheels have mismatched alignment, your ride will get rough, and you may feel increased vibrations, especially when driving at higher speeds. Overall road noise might also become louder, not only from vibrations but also from the tires squealing when you navigate corners. Promote Better Tire Longevity When forced to grip the road at odd angles, tires tend to wear down unnaturally. If you notice that your tires are unevenly worn, misaligned wheels might be to blame. The awkward pressure that misalignment places on tires also makes them more susceptible to damage and skids. Enhance Fuel Efficiency The additional friction generated by misalignment creates drag that slows your car. This means you'll be using more gas than usual and may notice an increase in your monthly fuel expenses. Protect Connected Components As your car is designed to have all components in perfect alignment, when the wheels begin to twist out of shape, excess strain is put on connected car parts as well. As a result, the axles, brakes, suspension, differentials, and steering system may develop faults of their own. Realigning your wheels reduces this pressure, saving you from additional repair expenses. Schedule Routine Alignment at Your Honda Dealership Wheels should be realigned at least once a year; many drivers have their wheels aligned each time they have their tires rotated, which is usually twice a year. It's considered wise to schedule routine alignment rather than wait for the aforementioned problems to develop. That way, you can rest assured that your vehicle's steering, handling, traction, fuel efficiency, and road safety are kept in tip-top condition at all times. Visit Perry Motors Honda in Bishop, CA, today to have your wheels realigned by courteous, qualified technicians. We're a locally owned and operated, third-generation dealership that's been helping out the region's drivers for over 75 years. Image via Honda
