You are in the Honda Accord Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
The current oil has ~4K miles and is 6 months old (Castrol 5W20). The oil life monitor is at 50%. The car has 10K miles. I just checked the oil level and found it had burned about 0.8-1 qt oil. Is this normal? My driving style is VERY gentle, and mainly highway (~14 miles commute each way a day).

I am sure this has been answered somewhere but I couldnt find it by doing a search. How do you tell what model a '97 accord is? I purchased mine used about a year ago but the letter on the trunk are gone. My accord has the 4 cylinder V-Tech engine, Power windows and doors, Cruise control, AC, and Moon roof. My guess is that it is an EX? Oh and while I am at. is the V-tech engine the same as L4 2.2 Liter FI F22B2 2156 cc O.H.C.- SOHC

They can be a lot of fun; I've learned an awful lot about my car by participating, asking questions, and even sharing some advice from my own experiences! http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.efdf920/">1994-1997 Accord Maintenance and Repair Forum http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.ef7c366/">Accord Real World MPG Forum |

I have close to 13K miles on my 06 Accord. According to the manual, I'm supposed to wait for the minder to tell me when to rotate the tires. I'm tempted to rotate them now though, since well, it's been 13K miles. Is my understanding correct and how reliable the minder is regarding tire rotation intervals? I trust it for oil change intervals but am not so sure about tires.
