(Couldnt find that on their website but I have read blogs where people have mentioned that) On Honda's web site, it says "no schedule maintenance tune up's until 100,000 miles". Maintenance is needed on the Accord, just like every other car on the market. 2. I have the new Mazda has transmission problems when its COLD, does anyone know about this? News to me, and we have put several of these 09's on the road. Here in CT we have had a pretty cold winter. BTW, it's the same tranny that is in the CX-9, which has had virtually no issues in the 2+ years it's been out. Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Mar 06, 2009 5:47 am)

So all it means is you can leave the spark plugs in for 100K mi, if you wish. This is nothing new, various manufacturer's have been saying that for at least a decade. IIRC, my 1997 Windstar was in the 100K mi plug club. I changed them after 6 years at well under 100K mi, as I understand leaving them in too long can cause them to become welded to the the head.
