that's fine. make sure you stick with a high quality brand of oil. i
tried motorcraft in my civic and the seals leaked like sieves. changed
back to castrol, it stopped leaking again.

What year is this Accord? Makes a difference.

What's "premium" oil? What brand? What viscosity?
And 90K is hardly "high-mileage", regardless of what the oil marketers
would like you to believe. I have almost 270K. *That's* more like "high-
mileage".

My wife's Accord as 90,700 miles on it. When we get the oil changed
what kind should we get? We get it changed every 3k/3months
religiously but for the last year or so I have been using the premium
oil. Should I save my money and use regular, continue the premium, or
use the high milage oil?
Thanks!!
