I have 8,000 miles on my accord the oil life is at 15%. I want to know if its safe to go till 10% or even 5% to change the oil? Any suggestions and feedback would be appreciate.

I don't own a Honda but I change the oil/filter in my Toyota Camry and Ford Ranger every 3 months or 3000 miles. My experience is oil is cheaper than an engine job in any vehicle .

15% is preferred, but DEFINITELY get it done before you wind down to zero.

An historically good practice but we are talking about break in oil here, which Honda recommends be left in for the full time according to the computer.

Rattling noise in cabin by back window

I have a 2008 Honda Accord and have about 6K miles on it. I have just noticed that when I hit a bump or go over railroad tracks I hear a Rattle inside the cabin. It sounds like it is the rear brake light in the window. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to check it? I can not find a way to the light and I do not see any clamps or bolts that might be loose. Please help the noise is driving me crazy.

I would like to know if you ever figured it out. I have a 2008 Honda Accord and I have the same issue. When I go over railroad tracks or a bump I hear a rattle in rear of car. I beleive it is coming from the rear light in the window but have no I dea on how to tighten or check to see if something is loose back there. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Check under the parcel shelf/speaker shelf in the trunk for anything hanging loose that could rattle... just a thought.
If not, take it to the dealer and let THEM figure it out. For $20k + it is the least they can do.
Let us know what you find out.

My experience has been the noises from the back come from the cheap styrofoam jack holder. This holder can rotate and its back-right hand corner can be rubbing against the trunk wall.

The noise ended up being a loose bolt near the rear quarter panel holding up the rear "tray" that mounts across the back and holds the speakers and trim. I took it to the dealer- the maintenance head and I took it for a drive and they got in there to tighten in up- That did the trick-no more noise.
