Oil Change Frequency by
Mel P.[_2_]
Up until I got my 2009 Civic, I would change oil in my cars every 3K miles.
Now with the car's 'maintenance minder", it shows the oil life left which
is 5-7K miles.
If I REALLY can go by it, I have no problems.
Just asking if it will wear the engine out quicker.
thanks,

turn signal sound by
Bob Daun

are operating. Consequently, some times I don't turn them off when I

Fram Oil Filters? by
Nino NoSpam
Before you condemn Fram filters, I just thought that you'd like to know that
my OEM Honda filter --Made in Japan, says Made by FRAM! If it's good enough
for original equipment for Honda, it's good enough for me!

Have you had your V-6 auto transmission replaced? by
George Earl
I just had the automatic transmission in my 2001 Accord LX-V6 replaced
under warranty. I'm at 90k miles, so I have only 10,000 more miles to
go before I'm playing Russian roulette with the replacement

I'm curious for real life experiences or scuttlebutt on how long these

Hello,
I have been having this minor oil leak which I'm almost 85%

question... anyway, for a manual car, driving in the suburbs (not New
