i could be wrong on this, but somewhere in the owners manual i think it tells you what you should do at certan thousands of miles.....i could be wrong on that, i know it does in my sisters honda, but give it a look anyway

id say do the tranny flush, if you havent do the fuel filter, clean out your throttle body with cleaner......yes your lil manual tells you when to change everything but not everything in there i think you should follow....i believe it says change the oil every 8,000 miles dependant on how you drive......to me that seems crazy.......the fuel filter i forget how often it lists but a lot of us agree on here it should be changed every 15,000 miles or so, you will notice a difference.......and heat is the number one way to kill a tranny, and old fluid will do it......every 40-50,000 miles is prolly a good estimate......

and id recomend some throttle body cleaner, pull of the intake box, spray some in there with the buttery flys closed and wipe up all the dirt and dust in there, it will surprise you.....

yeah change the fuel filter, change tranny fluid, maybe a coolant flush, i also strongly suggest switching your oil and tranny fluid to synthetic. also maybe take a look at your spark plugs and PCV. have you changed your rotors or pads in the past 50k? if not you need to, also rotate your tires if you need to.

It does tell you want you should do. It does get pricey at the higher mileage maintance intervals. I know 60,000 (?) was going to run me around $250. Thank God I work for the dealership. Discounts rock!
