45000 maintenance
Dealers recommend lots of maintenance, Do I need to go for each ?
Like honda recommends oil change between 5000-7500 miles while dealer recommend every 3000 miles.
I skipped 45 K maintenance but I think I should get it done.
any opinion ?

Re: 45000 maintenance (accordy)
if you dont maintain your car...it wont last too long. maintenance is key to keeping ur car forever, not to mention keeping a better resale value.

Re: 45000 maintenance (accordy)
best thing to do is to learn to do your maintenances on your own...its cheaper and you can do it on your own time instead paying an arm and a leg for the dealership to do your **** for you...its really not hard if you think about what you have to for a tune up or general maintenance, people just make it look harder than it is

As for oil changes, yes, the manual says every 5,000 or 7,500 miles, but it really doesn't hurt your car to change the oil every 3,000 or 4,000 miles, and it's not expensive. Just do it yourself, costs ~ $11 from Wal-Mart for a 5-quart jug of Castrol GTX (get 5w30) and a new oil filter. Maybe another $20 for ramps and $10 for an oil catcher, if you don't have them, but these are one time expenses.

If car is not lowered then dont need ramps.
Could just use synth. if you want to carry it to the 7500 mile or higher.
Yes, do the list, but 90% or better you can do yourself or with a buddy that knows how to wrench good.
There are so many DYI's here on forums.
when I see more women putting the men to shame 
Yea, a male BUMPING for the WOMEN
There are many out there that can out wrench me, and that is fine with me, not a typical idiot here.
