Is there anywhere with a list of the major service intervals I can find online? I don't have the manual in my hand right now and was just wondering what the next major service should be. This is for a 06 Accord btw.

I believe your car is equipped with maintenance minder, mine is an 06 4cyl Auto Sedan and has the maintenance minder system. Whenever it's due for checkups, you'll get a wrench symbol, along with a letter and number.

Sign up on AHM-Ownerlink.com and you can check what service to perform each time you have a light.

If you want the old time/miles interval maintenance schedule, you can add an 03-05 Accord, and get the schedule that way. I'm pretty sure that will work with owner-link.

Anyone know when I need to have the timing belt done on this thing?

105,000 miles.

(Your signature says that you have a 6-6. If you're asking about something else, please say so.)

Nope I'm asking about the 6-6. Thanks.

I just wasn't sure when I needed to be planning to do that and I didn't see it on any of the service schedules.

It's expensive, but still not as bad as these things used to be. The spark plugs are good until this service, and you're going to be surprised how much it costs to replace them!!

hometheaterman

Not looking forward to that. At least I have a little while. How much are the plugs? What about the timing belt? Are they around $500 or so with labor like I think it was the last time I got it changed on the 96 4cyl Accord we have?

George Knighton

I think it's going to be more like $900 - $1100.

hometheaterman

That's a little more than I was expecting. Is that with the plugs too or just the timing belt? Oh well, I guess it's not that often that it has to be done.

George Knighton

That is for the complete service including plugs. We recently paid about $800 without the plugs to do the Sedan, and the Coupe's coming up in a month or so.

Considering how little has to be done to the car over its life's history, you just have to kind of work this huge service into the average. :-)
