Importance of Oil Changes for your Honda
Performing regular maintenance according to the factory-recommended Maintenance Schedule is the best way to keep your Honda running to the best of it's abilities.
Each Honda vehicle has its own service requirements, so Honda developed a specific maintenance schedule based on model equipment, such as transmission choice or the addition of a towing package.
The Maintenance Schedule calculates service needs based on mileage of your Honda. It checks engine-operating conditions and helps coordinate oil service dates and other maintenance check-ups. We want you to prevent problems before they occur.
If you have questions about your maintenance schedule, give us a call at (866) 838-5783 or fill out the form. If you would like to make an appointment, click to the button below to the right to schedule your service appointment for your Honda!

Learn How To Change Your Oil
What Type of Oil Should I Use
Honda recommends you always use Honda Genuine Oil, available here at Larry H. Miller Honda Murray. When Honda genuine oil is not available, it is very important to select an oil displaying the "Starburst" certification symbol that says "For Gasoline Engines", this symbol indicates that the oil meets the latest performance requirements set by the automotive and oil industries. By selecting oil for gasoline engines it will provide your Honda with superior performance in the areas of deposit and sludge protection, wear protection, and oil life. These oils will also protect the environment by extending the life of your emissions system and conserving energy through better fuel economy.
Once again, Honda recommends the use of Honda Genuine oil for your vehicle. This oil meets the Starburst performance requirements listed above, but is also subjected to a series of Honda-specific tests to guarantee optimum performance and compatibility for your Honda engine.
Each Honda vehicle is designed to use a specific weight grade, refer to your owner's manual to determine the proper weight grade. If you have any questions be sure to fill out the form or give us a call at (866) 838-5783.
What is a "Crush Washer" and why is it important for my Honda
Being a Honda owner, the crush washer you should be most concerned with is the one that must be replaced every time you change your motor oil. The crush washer fits between your oil pan and the drain plug. It is a one and down washer, it should be replaced every time you change your oil. Discard the old washer at each oil change and replaced it with a brand new one. Larry H. Miller Honda Murray does this every time for you. If you ever need to get your oil changed somewhere other than a dealer, please stress them the importance to use a new crush washer.
When a new washer is installed and the drain plug is tightened, it "crushes" the washer to form a very tight seal, thereby preventing motor oil leaks without overstressing the oil pan threads.
Mechanics who are not aware of its importance may think it's okay to re-use this washer, with it being already crushed, it will not collapse further resulting in the possibility of over-tightening the drain plug to get a tight fit. This can lead to stripped threads in the oil pan -- a very costly repair.
