2004 Honda Accord LX v6 now has 254,688 miles... knock on wood, car still runs well... still averaging 30 plus miles to the gallon, with most miles being highway driving... i continue to change the oil and Honda oil filter every 4,000 miles... would recommend changing the cabin air filter every 20,000 miles here in the South, or anyplace where the pollen count runs high... had been changing the engine air filter every 30,000 miles, though may begin changing it every 25,000 miles, for similar reason why i'm changing the cabin air filter more often... i continue to wash the car every week and wax it regularly too, as it helps with gas mileage.
I would like to find out what others use to clean the cloth upholstery and seatbelts... thanks.

You can clean your seatbelts with mild soap and water. As far as cloth, I use Resolve to clean spots/stains.

I haven't tried everything but I've been very impressed with the Interior Cleaner from Griot's Garage.
I need to use a scrub brush on some stains but this stuff is great.

I just purchased a 2003 Accord coupe with 119k miles on it so this thread is nice to see. My friend picked it up at auction but I checked it out and the car is in great condition, paid $6,500 hope I got a good deal.

I have the same problem with my accord V6 this will not affect the operation of your car in any way it detects gas leaks, my evaporator can just went bad and I have 306,000miles so you can see that this has nothing to do with any service,(nerver had the service you mentioned)they go at certain intervals as their lifespan is only so long my accord is a 2000. As a matter of fact most of the dealer expensive services you can do without if you know what to look for yourself I have owned 6 honda accords over the past 15 years and all of them went well over 200k usually i get rid of them for a change not because I have to. Ill see if I can take this V6 to 400K.

It can't hurt, particularly if you live in a hot climate. Here in Tucson, I know several folks who raise the hood when possible.
