As long as the gauge stays below the 1/2 mark then it's ok.
If not, you might want to replace the thermostat.

Are you sure it is oil leaking?? It could be the tranny?? When I purchased my 07 accord I inspected it on the rack. The first accord had a tranny leak, yes the brand new car already had a leak. If it is the tranny you have 5 yr. 60K warranty to get it fixed. Honda may give you headaches but keep up the fight!!!

Maintenance Question/Adivce at 22K miles Accord 2007 by garrick

2007 4 cyl Accord will be 2 yrs old August 09. Need to bring it in for service now with 22K miles. Maintenance Minder is showing "B" which if I read the manual correctly shows the following suggested:
 
Replace engine oil and oil filter
Inspect front and rear brakes
Check parking brake adjustment
Inspect these items:
Tie rod ends, steering gear box, and boots
Suspension components
Driveshaft boots
Brake hoses and lines (including ABS)
All fluid levels and condition of fluids
Exhaust system
Fuel lines and connections
 
Dealer obviously suggests a lot more service for about $300 such as rotate tires, roadforce balancing, air filter, inspect distributor cap, clean injectors, 40 point service inspection and others.
 
What should I do at 22K miles if I plan on keeping this car for the long haul?

All the maintenance items you listed sound like good ideas, except for two. If the car has no hint of vibration in the steering wheel at speed or other vibrations, I would decline the roadforce balancing. The balance will only be as good as the guy operating the machine. If the balance machine is subpar, or the operator is inexperienced, you could end up with a problem you didn't have before. Second, I don't think your car has a distributor cap.

Hello board,
 
I am writing this note because I need rear brakes- and rotors on an Accord EX V6.
 
My normally reliable dealer is charging $420.00 for brakes and rotors. I think that is robbery....
 
Anyone know of a dealer that can do the work cheaper?
 
Does anyone know of any coupons I can find for this service? I have looked everywhere....
 
If so, please let me know...
 
thanks a lot... any insight helps!

Is there a reason you're going to the dealer?

I don't know where else to go. Haven't had to replace these brakes before. Wanted to know where the other users/car owners went. The dealer told me that I need rotors and brakes in the rear of my car. They want to charge $210 for each. That sounds like a lot to me. Has anyone used Midas or Meineke? Any suggestions?
 
thanks

My suggestion would be to talk to people you know; friends, family, coworkers, people at your place of worship, etc and find out if they know a good reputable mechanic. I go to the mechanic my grandfather uses; just had my timing belt and water pump done on my '96 Accord for $478. The dealer wanted $820.
 
Get a few opinions/estimates before you have it done. The worst they can do is give you the same answer/price, which I would wager won't happen.

Check the net for dealer brake specials in your area then give your dealer a chance to match the price.
