Car Forum / Honda Cars / May 2007Factory recommended service intervals
Just bought me a new V6 Accord sedan (EX-L trim line) -- very nice car! The supplied MANFACTURER maintenance booklet does not list the MANUFACTURER-recommended time/mileage intervals for various services. However, there is a separate booklet with DEALER-recommended service intervals. I asked the dealer about that and he said there are no MFR recommended intervals, just ones from the DEALER. My experience over the years with various brands of cars is that DEALERS generally recommend more frequent service intevals than the Manufacturer does. No big surprise there since the dealer usually does the service. So what's the deal? Has American Honda quit making service recommendations for their vehicles?? > Just bought me a new V6 Accord sedan (EX-L trim line) -- very nice car! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > intervals.

Gee, how convenient. > So what's the deal? Has American Honda quit making service recommendations > for their vehicles?? Does the owner's manual that came from Honda talk about a Maintenance Minder? A computer that keeps track of your driving conditions can do a far, far better job of evaluating when maintenance is required than you can or than a simple time/mileage schedule can. And since the car is chock full of computers that are already measuring everything necessary to do this, adding in a little light to tell you when they've hit time for maintenance was easy. >> Just bought me a new V6 Accord sedan (EX-L trim line) -- very nice car! >> [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > everything necessary to do this, adding in a little light to tell you > when they've hit time for maintenance was easy. The owner's link at www.honda.com has all of the info you would need concerning maintenance requirements as well as the manual. Maintenance lists are in the manual but there is no set mileage as the maintenance computer tracks that stuff and your dash board lights will tell you what is due and when.
