Replying to: bioman (Jul 26, 2009 11:06 am) 1. tire rotation - Bridgestone Turanza OEM tires look fine 2. brake flushing 3. change air filters 4. change oil filter - so the guy at the local Honda dealer had a cow about how I need to use Honda parts because they are so much better (I ordered the filter from H&A accessories online, same with air filter). Prior to now the car had only been serviced by that dealer, and it had a Valvoline filter on it when I changed it, and it was WAY overtorqued (9-10n-m shouldn't require a breaker bar with extension). 5. Change oil - Castrol GTX 5w20 6. Inspected every moving suspension joint (LCA, UCA, ball joints, tie rods etc)...it was interesting, the '93 had little covers on the bolts for the UCA and LCA that the '07 doesn't have. I sure hope I still don't have the car when those are rusted solid. 7. Installed official Honda "Leather shift knob" woot woot its just like a Ferrari now The tire and brake stuff took about 45 minutes. I got one of those mitivac brake bleeders and it was easy; wife was stoked she didn't have to sit and pump the brake for an hour. I think the oil change was where things went to pieces (everything over-torqued, cracked oil drain basin), but all in all, everything was pretty easy. I do like my leather shift knob

Replying to: lilengineerboy (Aug 11, 2009 4:46 pm) Yes, I'm glad I have the mity-vac for two reasons. 1. Who wants to sit in your car, and wear himself out pushing the brake pedal (for quite a while).  2. It could mean a longer lifespan for your master cylinder. Not to mention the constant tightening and loosening of the bleeder bolt.

I skimped on my last maintenance in April  about 26,000 miles because it was near the end of my lease term. I unexpectedly bought the car. I'm trying to figure out what I missed so I can attend to it now. It's only 2,000 miles later. Got an oil change and not the other stuff that was called for at the time. Didn't make a note of the letter + number combination that was showing on the on-board computer at the time. Not the way it used to be that you could check the owner's manual and find out the maintenance items that should have been performed at a certain mileage interval. I have a 2006 Accord LX V6. Can anyone help me out based on their experience and records of maintenance done on their Accord at about 26,000 miles? Thanks.

Replying to: tankbeans (Aug 17, 2009 3:19 pm) it took me a minute to understand the system, there is A&B and 1-5 that illuminate in the message center area where the ODO is. Those letters and numbers refer to services listed in the owner's manual. 1 is an oil change, 3 is a trans fluid change, etc. |
