I now have almost 10,000 miles on my E. I loved every minute of it. It was the best decision I made and the best 22,000 dollars I have ever spent.....
I have already got two oil changes.. First at 2500, second at 5000 miles with mobil 1 syntech and next oil change is coming up.. ANd tire ratation at 7000 miles...
So what is needed now??? tranny oil change?
Can someone advise me on what I should do on my car at the mileage I have?? i would like My E to live as long as I can???

I would recommend opening the owners manual and reading the portion on service/maintenance. Your needs will very depending on several factors. Check Pages 212 - 216 of the Book. From what I can see its mainly tire rotation, oil/lube and inspections of various components.
Hope this helps ya! :wink:

I appreciate your quick reply. :D
I already got the tire rotation and did the oil changes so i guess Im cool..
I don't trust the owners manual cuz it tells you not to change the oil was it till 10,000 miles or was it 5000... Which i dont' believe in.. Change oil every 3000 miles or 5000 with synthetic.........
But thanks for your advise.. any others are welcome..
or u can call your local honda service dept
and ask them what they will do to E at 10000 miles..and the prices quote too
my E only has about 430 miles

Took my E in for it's 10,000 mile today, here is what they did...
Changed the Oil/filter
Rotated the Tires (I didn't do it at 7500 miles)
Checked and adjusted the brakes
Checked all belts
Checked and topped off all fluids
Basically it was a complete under the hood check up on my baby.
Total price $68
then I had a coupon for a free oil change and Honda Care sent me an email for 10% off the 10,000 check up at my dealership....so my total cost was $42

With all the modern advances in everything from soup to nuts, some people refuse to abandon the 'ol "change oil every 3000 miles" no matter what. Til their dying day, they will insist on it because that's what they always have done. Amazing. :roll:
