The top panel is difficult to remove, but after you get that off, it goes pretty easily. |

Replying to: srizvi1 (Jan 02, 2009 11:09 pm) Thanks again for the advice. I went to the Honda Dealer on Friday and took a printout of handa-accessories.com's prices. And the guy was a bit confused at first if he was able to, but then went ahead and matched the online prices (I fibbed a bit and said someone had did it for me before - the truth was that someone did it for elroy5 before  ). So I got to shave a few bucks off of all the items I needed AND didn't have to pay shipping so it worked out well. In the post I am replying to, I listed all the items I had wanted to get: a) Air Filter / Genuine Factory Honda Accord engine air filter - $20.49 - bought two of these b) Micron Air brand Pollen Filter - Also called A/C or Cabin filters. Fits Years 2003-2005, for other years - $15.95 - bought two of these too c) Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF-Z1 - $6.11 - bought 5 of these d) Genuine Factory Honda long life antifreeze/coolant type2 - 1 Gallon Container 50/50 prediluted. - $11.73 - bought 2 of these Final price - $136.20 Now, I have been shopping around a bit with the different dealers in the DC/Baltimore area to find out the costs of the 120k and under services I have to get done: 1) Inspect Valve Clearance (110k miles) 2) Transmission Fluid (120k miles) 3) Coolant (120k miles) 4) Spark Plugs (110k miles) Many of the dealers were pretty high in price for the services, so by me getting the parts, I should have been able to save significant money. However, Sport Honda in Silver Spring was one of the last dealers I e-mailed, and when they responded, it seemed to be most reasonably priced for these 4 services and looking at their breakdown, it seems that by buying my own parts, I prob won't be saving a significant amount. Check out their e-mail to me below: Transmission Fluid Replacement - fluid $36.00 washer $4.00 - Labor $52.00 - our present special $79.95 (a savings of about $12.00) the fluid replacement consists of about 3 quarts... the procedure that you are quoting - 'three successive flushes w/ roadtest' is only done if there is a specific problem with the transmission fluid being burnt - Honda does not recommend a flush of the system unless there is an actual problem - If in fact this procedure was needed the price would be $249.95 - I would be suprised indeed if it turned out to be necessary. Spark plugs - Honda platinum $100.00 regular installation $104.00 /$ 204.00 - there is a si Valve Adjustment - Honda Valve cover gasket $14.00 + labor charge of $156. - when done together - special price is $349.95 - As it is necessary to remove the valve cover to inspect the adjustment there is no seperate charge for the inspection Honda engine coolant for your vehicle $22.00 + labor $72.80 - Special $ 86.95" When I get a chance, I'll post some of the other breakdowns I received from other dealers. I hope all this info helps other Accord owners when they hit services around this mileage.

Replying to: elroy5 (Jan 17, 2009 10:42 pm) I just posted a bit ago (scroll up a few posts() about where I'm planning on going to get some big 120k and under service items done on my 2004 Accord EX-L Sedan w/ Auto. I'll ask them about the power steering TSB also. |

Replying to: srizvi1 (Jan 25, 2009 8:28 pm) Use IZFR6K11 (NGK) or SKJ20DR-M11 (DENSO). Use IZFR6K13 (NGK) or SKJ20DR-M13 (DENSO) for SULEV model (4-door model only). |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 26, 2009 9:46 am) I have the 4 door sedan 2004 honda accord EX-L w/ Navi (Auto) so I believe I will be needing the: Use IZFR6K13 (NGK) or SKJ20DR-M13 (DENSO) for SULEV model (4-door model only). I don't think I saw spark plugs on handa-accessories.com so even though I was able to take a printout to the honda dealer and have them match prices, I couldn't do it in this case. So if I was to go to the dealer to buy them, I'd have to pay whatever price they have. or I could go to Autozone and get these from there for probably cheaper right?
