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.

Replying to: jhinsc (Mar 09, 2009 11:44 am) Didn't Toyota have some problems with sludge a while back? I change my own oil, so I can afford to do it more often. If I had to bring it somewhere, I would probably stretch the interval a little too. My owner's manual says 3,750 miles, so I go with that.

I’m in the middle of buying Accord process, and found out in this forum for the headlight dimming problem when A/C is on (2008 Accord maintenance) , it has been extensively discussed for 2008, 4 cylinder Accord no matter which trim was driven; I understand that Accord has not changed the design from 2008 to 2009. Has anybody heard or aware the similar problem for 2009 Accord? Thanks.

i had problems with my driver's seat in my 08 accord...would not adjust and still does not adjust as it should...back hurts alot due to their seat construction and i have power seats. never heard about the headlight problem. does the 09 still have that gas guzzling eco thing that shuts down cylinders while driving... ie...6..4...then running on 3 cylinders? Performance lacks too due for this eco thing. if i put in the 87 octane that my 08 v6 calls for, it pings and knocks and gets gas mileage about 21 city/highway and around 23.5 strictly highway. i burn 89-90 octane and get mileage now about 22-23 city-highway and my best so far has been 25.5mpg highway only. also had to have the headlights and driving lights readjusted. they had to be raised. i can finally see at night now. friend had same problem with lights..saw mine...got his readjusted. he sees better now too. they were pointing too close to the front of the car...couldn't see more than 10 feet in front of vehicle. i see about 25-30 now.
