Yep, that is true, I could possibly change the oil and do a few other things before it even starts to warn me. I don't really do by what it tells me. I usually keep the fluids up, oil changed, and keep my tires rotated often.
 
And of course keeping the paint washed, waxed is all in part of maintenance to me.

I guess it's just another thing to ignore, like speed limits.
 
Also, there's a review in Edmund's long term test blog about the 08 Accord with VCM. The writer/reviewer was writing about how the eco light is more annoying than useful because he says he can't keep the thing on and it's just more of a distraction.
 
I don't think I would trust it. Meanwhile, I have about 6000 miles to save up for the big 60k interval. Which is around $450ish. Scary.
 
  My cars getting middle-aged. Not really. It's just entering it's prime. I want to keep it motoring well past 250k.

I've just been told that I need to replace the battery on my 2003 Accord EX V6, Any thoughts about one that would be less than the $168 Honda wants?
 
Thanks.

Group 35 battery. Advance Auto Parts $72-87
 
Walmart probably $59 for quality battery from Johnson Controls. There are only a few companies making batteries these days.

Looks like the price included an hour labor charge.

I also have an 03 V6, and my battery had to be changed last year. I bought one from Sam's, and installed it myself. Less than $50. Easy to install with basic tools.

And if you don't want to do it yourself..., most of the auto stores mentioned will put it in for you as well as actually checking the old one to see if it really does need to be replaced. Walmart even used the voltage maintainer to keep all the computer settings and radio settings while the old battery was removed.

My car did the exact same thing this morning. Did you find out what caused your problem? Please email me back jts768telusplanet.net

The lights came on once in a while. A few tmore imes since I
posted last.
I am scheduled to have the TCS-VSA modulator replaced
(under extended warranty) next week.
Will post it if the lights continue to come on after the replacement.
 
What year is your car?
Do you feel your brake pedal soft and shinking when you
apply the brakes?

it's an '05 V-6 6M. The brakes are sensitive and sometimes will vibrate with the transfer of material from pad to rotor(disc)......... Light braking has been effective in countering this for some 50k + miles...........
 
My only bitch is with the clutch (lately, the infamous 'pedal actuation CLICK' is first and foremost). I understand there is a TSB (Jan 2005?) out on this very subject. Any steers toward that TSB deeply appreciated by this sailor.
 
all the best, ez...
