if you want to do the 30K service by the book, BUT:
1. you can change both filters yourself, for about $30 in parts.
2. for $380, the dealer is without a doubt doing some type of laundry list of "services they recommend" - you could just ask them to do what is listed in the book for 30K (pretty much just those filters, tire rotation, and oil change) and see what they say for price
3. you could have a private shop just do those things, for even less money
4. you could get an oil change and turn the maintenance light off yourself - just hold down the odometer button and turn the key to 'on', hold it for a count of five or so, and the light goes out.
 
Some inspections are part of the maintenance schedule Honda provides. It might not be a bad idea to do them if you plan to keep the car a long time.

thanks so much.
 
I've asked acura and they say as long as I keep receipts my extended warranty is intaked.
 
I already did the oil and had the tires rotated months ago...so I'm gonna change the air filter and cabin filter..
 
I'm sure the belts are fine at 30K...
 
have a great memorial day weekend...safe driving.

RSX noise on low speed by motarheadd

Hello,
 
I am trying to buy a 2004 rsx
 
I just looked at one this afternoon.
 
Car is in good shape and deal is pretty good too.
 
I would love to buy it if I can resolve this problem.
 
when I was test driving this car, I noticed high-pitched noise comming from
the front of the car. I could only hear it between 0-10 miles and when I went faster
the sound disappeared.
 
Noise sounded like high-pitched electric/flapping sound. I was not loud but I could clearly hear it.
 
I am a first time driver and knows nothing about car.
 
Please enlight me people!

I've had RSX'03 for 5 years now. A month or so ago, at mileage of 127K, high-pitched, buzz-like noise started in engine bay, driver's side.
At irst, it was heard only when starting car cold; now it may be heard any time.
It's hard to replicate, as it comes and goes.
any suggection will be greatly appreciated!

No Low Beams on my 2004 Acura Help,
I turned on my head lights only to find no low beams, but I have high beams and all other lights. Any one else have this problem and does any one know what the problem might be? I have had to replace the drivers side low beam bulb twice before this happened.

         All I said was, sitting still turn car on and step on brake and you get a clickking noise and it's normal.

Gas Type: Regular or Premium by lp2

I''m currently looking to purchase an RSX 05 or 06 type s and I wanted to know what type of gas the car can drive on. I remember browsing over a review that said that the car takes unleaded premimum. However, I'm unable to locate any other solid info about this. I would like to hear from the owners what type it takes.
 
Thanks

I have an 06 and have only put 93 oct in it from day 1. 91 or better is what Acura says. This is due to the high compression engine. I'm sure it would run on lower octane, but I honestly wouldn't do it. Performance above all would suffer, you'd probably experience knocking and other such engine issues too. If you don't want to put the extra 20c a gallon for the good stuff in it, I wouldn't bother buying one.
