Replying to: carzzz (Jul 05, 2008 10:05 pm) ... really? hmm.. I didn't know that. I'd be willing to sacrifice a little fuel economy to help my car stay alive. It's at 114k miles now.
#3971 of 4108 Windshied chips and white spots. by hondahenry Jul 06, 2008 (9:43 am)
Does it happen to any of your 06-07 Accords? My 07 Accord has lots of chips on the windshield and some white spots possibly caused be debris or sand on road. It appears it's quite easy for hood and bumper to get chips on Accord but chips on windshield are quite of blizzard. Is it normal? This thing is as fragile as a baby's face.

Replying to: hondahenry (Jul 06, 2008 9:43 am) ALL windshields have to meet DOT requirements. Unfortunetly for you, your Accord has been subject to something that would have chipped any windshield.   Mrbill Replies to this message: elroy5 (Jul 06, 2008 10:56 am) hondahenry (Jul 07, 2008 12:11 pm) thegraduate (Jul 07, 2008 12:26 pm) tallman1 (Jul 07, 2008 1:03 pm) and 2 more... altair9 (Jul 09, 2008 4:37 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: mrbill1957 (Jul 06, 2008 10:00 am) It makes me wish they still made cars with chrome covering the front end . Now everything is painted (bumpers, grills). If you are going to drive your car in any type of high speed traffic (over 30mph), you will acquire some chips. There are clear protective films you can buy to protect the front, but they are pretty expensive. I have one of the old vinyl bras, but it's a real pain constantly removing and putting it back on.

Replying to: hondahenry (Jul 06, 2008 9:43 am) Only a small "scuff" on my windshield after nearly 36k miles in my 2006 Accord. I make a point not to follow close at ALL, since it is my pet peave.
#3975 of 4108 valves by stickguy Jul 06, 2008 (2:30 pm)
is it really neccessary to adjust the valves at 30K on a 2005 I4? Dealer is pushing a big $ major service at my next oil change (I have about 26K on it now). I thought valve adjustments went out with crushed valour (sp?) interiors! Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jul 06, 2008 2:49 pm)

Replying to: stickguy (Jul 06, 2008 2:30 pm) You do NOT need a valve adjustment. The dealer sounds full of it.   TheGrad 06 Accord I4
#3977 of 4108 thanks grad by stickguy Jul 06, 2008 (2:52 pm)
I know I should get out the manual, but I was too lazy! I do seem to recall something about valves though. Maybe checking them? But that seems odd, since if you need to check them, you might need to adjust!   30K seems kind of soon in any case. THis isn't a VW Beetle!

Replying to: lkwilson2 (Jul 05, 2008 7:12 pm) Hmm.. I usually get my oil changes done at the Honda Dealer and/or Firestone (I bring my own Mobil 1 though - I'd like to start bringing my own filters too). I wonder if they'd accommodate the the transmission / Mobil 1 cocktail for that 1/2 quart.

Replying to: tankbeans (Jul 05, 2008 5:48 pm) "....I know of many people who switch over to synthetic because they get better mileage out of the deal. "   When you say better mileage, are you referring to a higher mpg, or going longer in between oil changes? As per the manual, I could go 10k miles in between oil changes on regular motor oil. Using Mobil 1, I think I could go longer, still keep it at 10k though. I'm not sure if I should push it any further. I'm not sure if the filter could go any further either.
