Thanks for the feedback blueiedgod. This is EXACTLY the kind of info I'm looking for. Can't imagine spark plugs need to be done now. I expected the valve clearance to be needed to be done much later because of my experience with my 2004 Accord 4 cyclinder, but it seems from your post that this can't even be done on this engine? And no additives needed, got it.

Change the oil and filter and rotate the tires front to back on the same sides.
Let Firestone inspect the rest. Then, see what is left based on the suggested mileage milestones as per the maintenance schedule in the manual.
Save your $$$.

No problem.
I would just go by the OWNER's MANUAL's SEVERE schedule and have them to those items.
I am not sure if the OWNER's MANUAL for Gen 3 lists service items. Maintenance minder may just list the codes for items that need to be done, then look up the codes in the OWNER's MANUAL.
I would find a more honest shop to this done at, as well.

In my opinion, especially for a Honda, the best extended warranty is NONE! The percentages are in your favor here. The 3 yr 36K mile standard warranty will weed out most problems IF you have any at all. If you are hell bent on being prepared for a future problems outside of that time frame, put the $900-1000 you would have spent into a savings account. Chances are you won't have to tap it .

Possibly a loose heat shield over the catalytic converter? That noise would be a rattle by the right front wheel. While on the subject: Anybody know of a good way to get the rusted bolts off the converter? I need to replace the heat shields because they are rusted away and am scared of doing more damage trying to break them loose.

The noise is more of a grating grinding noise. My husband doesn't think it is all that serious butthe car should not sound that way. The sound never goes away unless you turn it off.

I have an '04 CRV and had the check engine light go on with about 55,000 miles. Code reader indicated upstream oxygen sensor (there are 2). I replaced it and cleared the code, no problem ever since.
