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.

Replying to: elroy5 (Nov 19, 2007 3:53 pm) That's a good point, which I didn't realize. Is this really true? I reset the minder after the first oil change at 6300 miles. If that reset the tire interval as well, then I'm long overdue for a tire rotation.

Replying to: tallman1 (Nov 21, 2007 8:00 am) My oil life per the minder is at 20%, which's been consisent so far taking ~6500 miles/6 months to get to 20%. I'll change the oil today. |

Hi everyone, Tomorrow I am removing a F22B motor on a 1996 accord LX and installing a 1995 motor from Japan. The Japanese motor doesn't have a sensor on the oil pump. I can't find my Haynes manual which I thought was ok at best. Does anyone know where I can download a good manaul similar to what is used at a dealership? I really don't want to buy another hanynes manual tomorrow. I need to pull the front of this motor apart tomorrow. Can anyone think of anything I should watch out for other than pinning the counter weight. Be careful if you buy a 1996 Japanese motor. You will end up with a 1994-5 that the supplier changes the oil pump and charges you 200 more. I'm short for time the supplier put the screws to me. After setting the whole thing up a week ago, they waited for me to take the day off drive 50 miles to tell me there is no warranty because I am swapping the pump. I called them from an add on Ebay and they knew this is what I was doing. They wanted 200 more for a 96. After they put me on the spot I said I would take the 96. One of the guys slipped and said there was no time to take one of the motors and install a pump with the sensor. Carl |

This is my first post so hello all. This site rocks... Anyways.... I am new to driving and i hope to finallyget my license soon and my first car i would like to buy is a 2003+ accord (i love the redesign+i cant afford a 2008  ) Anyways.... I am a big dude.... 5'7 and about 280 pounds (im working on that) Is this car very roomy for a big person? If possible anyone have first hand experience? I have not gotten a chance to try one but if anyone out there has, pls let me know? I would highly appreciate it. I am really thinking hard at the Accord2003+ or a CRV Ive also been eynf the Honda Fit.. but i guess that car is probably too small and its better for a thin person |
