Advice About Honda Hybrid Service

As their name suggests, hybrid vehicles have hybridized powertrains. Those powertrains typically include an internal combustion engine, a battery pack, and at least one electric motor. With their specialized powertrains, it's not a surprise that hybrid owners must regularly schedule Honda hybrid service at our location. To learn when you'll need to do the same, contact Honda Van Nuys.

When to Schedule a Honda Maintenance Appointment 

Like EVs and gas-only automobiles, Honda hybrids have a routine maintenance schedule in their owners' manuals. Sticking to that schedule is the wisest thing you can do to extend your car's working life and preserve its resale value. Some of the maintenance tasks hybrids need will be familiar, while others may surprise you in a good way. 

Battery Checks 

The batteries that power hybrid vehicles are much larger and more elaborate than those in traditional automobiles. They're also significantly more expensive to replace. For that reason, it's critical to request a battery check every time you have your hybrid serviced. If your battery is malfunctioning, bring your car to the service center at our Van Nuys Honda dealership as soon as possible. 


Routine Inverter Care 

A hybrid vehicle's inverter converts the energy stored in your DC or direct current battery into AC or alternating current energy that powers your car. That conversion process generates considerable heat, which the inverter's cooling system neutralizes. With so many responsibilities, the inverter will need coolant flushes, tune-ups, and other services to remain in good shape. 


Oil Changes 

Since hybrids have an internal combustion engine, they need regular oil and oil filter changes, just like conventional cars do. If you're a do-it-yourselfer, you can pick up the necessary supplies to change your oil in our Honda parts center. All other drivers should leave oil changes in the capable hands of our factory-trained, certified technicians. 


Brake Inspections 

Regenerative brakes are the norm for hybrid cars. These brakes absorb the friction generated when you coast or slow your vehicle and convert the heat into energy to charge the battery. Hydraulic brakes work with your regenerative brakes, so they won't need to be replaced as often. That said, regular brake inspections are still recommended.
