Here at our dealership in Fairfield, our Honda service technicians are trained and educated to know your vehicle inside and out.

Honda Ultimate Full Synthetic Motor

What is it?

Motor oil is your engine's lifeblood. It lubricates your engine and protects moving parts to keep things running right. Full synthetic oils are produced without the types of chemical compositions found in conventional oils that contribute to oil oxidation and sludge buildup. Honda Ultimate Full Synthetic motor oil is developed for Honda vehicles to enhance engine performance at extreme temperatures or under severe driving conditions.

What if I ignore it?

Oil eventually deteriorates and loses its ability to protect your engine, due to heat, friction, and exposure to exhaust components. Engine oil contains special additives to enhance the oil's performance, and these additives are also broken down or consumed with distance and time. Engine damage can occur if the proper maintenance schedule is not followed.

What if I take care of it?

Changing engine oil at recommended intervals (from the owner's manual or Maintenance Minder™) is important for long engine life, and helps avoid premature engine wear and possible severe damage to the engine.
