| I purchased a 2008 Accord EX that had an annoying rattle from the rear deck of the car when the car went over a twisted surface like an inclined driveway. It sounded like loose bolts. I had my wife drive the car down our driveway while I listened in the trunk. I can zero in on the noise but the access was difficult so I took it in to the dealer and asked the service manager to listen. He heard it and found out that it was a loose bolt/nut that held together the "skeleton sheet metal framework" that consisted of the rear quarter panel and speaker deck (to my recollection) . Anyway he called me back later that afternoon and told me about it and that it was tightened up. Ever since then its been good-no rattles. I hope that helps. MACSAN | |

Hi All, Honda recommends to change the oil when the oil life gets to 15%. I would like to know how low get the Oil Life % go and it would be still safe to change the oil? In other words, what the lowest you can take the oil life % and no harm is done to the engine etc.? Thanks for all you feedback.

Replying to: mazda6dude (Mar 09, 2009 6:51 am) I typically make an appointment for the next time I have available when I hit 15%, that way, its no less than 10% when I go in for service. Since it is usually 7000-8000 miles between changes, why push it further I figure. |

Replying to: temj12 (Mar 09, 2009 10:07 am)  As I said before, there are many opinions on the subject. I'm not familiar with the CR report but did they test the cabs beyond 5000 miles? Maybe they would have shown no wear at 7k too. I used to be a 3k mile changer until I started to do some research. I feel comfortable at 7500 now. Like theGrad, I wait until the MM is down to 15% and then make the appt. I use a synthetic blend.
