Replying to: jik (Jul 30, 2009 10:23 am) If it has been more then 3 months, I would suggest to get the oil changed. It also depends on what area you live in. If you're in a hot weather area, I would suggest to get it done asap/ However, its really up to you. You can probably go to 6000-6500 miles with out worry. Honda usually recommends 3-4 months or up to 6000 miles. Check out www.honda.com for the recommended schedule. If you have an extended warranty, you may want to follow their maintenance schedule. Usually thats the caveat with extended warranties through the dealer - if you do not follow their schedule, it could void any extended warranty service. Just a heads up.... |

Replying to: jik (Jul 30, 2009 10:23 am) After that, you get to decide whether you side with the crowd that follows the "cheap insurance to change oil every 3000 miles" philosophy or those who use Honda's Maintenance Minder system and change it when it says 15%. You can do a Google search on "3000 mile oil change myth" and find lots of pros and cons. Finally, Grampy's advice is correct: If you don't drive very many miles, Honda recommends that you change your oil at least once a year. |

Hi, I have noticed in the last few days that the AC seems to be overworked every time I start the car. I always leave my AC on auto. Even if I keep set the temperature to 85 and there is very less air coming out of the vents, the AC is very loud and seems to be running at full blast. I dont hear any metallic clanks or knocking noise. Any suggestions? Thanks Kris |
