Haha no. There was a huge lawsuit many years ago (see the Magnusson-Moss Act) that resulted in manufacturers being unable to require vehicles to be serviced at dealerships in order to maintain warranty.
However, you have to be able to perform service correctly (and keep receipts/records of work...
Transmission fluid will show up around 50,000 miles. For severe conditions, the manual says to change at 35,000 miles. You are free to change the fluid whenever you want.
I THINK it’s due to the gobs of additional taxes y’all have. Seems to be a common theme among states with certain types of government - heavy taxes. Just an observation.
Yep. Averaging 43 mpg. Since I took the picture below, I've had two more tanks at 44 and 43 mpg each (400+ miles). I have backroad drives to/from work (55 mph whole way, 28 miles roundtrip 5x/week) and to/from the gym/grocery (35 miles roundtrip 3x/week, mostly 55 mph then ~10% 45 mph). The...
No. It wouldn't void all your warranty, only what you've modified. Also, they have to prove that your modifications caused the issue.
Don't go cheap on replacement parts.
I had already typed this up for something else, so pasting it here. I felt it appropriate to put here based on your comment:
There's a big misconception that a lot of people have about a dealership being the same as manufacturer. Honda service techs did not build the vehicle, Honda built it...
46 mpg. When you treat it right it treats you right. To think I could have 550 miles on a tank… crazy. Just lifting and coasting to stops, driving the speed limit, using ECON mode, and keeping it at 1500-2000 RPM. 87 octane with ethanol.
I run 87 and I'm getting 40+ mpg regularly (attributed strictly to driving style and lack of stop-and-go traffic). I have the 2.0L so not apples to apples but I see zero benefit, no mpg change when I put 89/91/93 octane in the car. I do get better mileage with ethanol-free, which is expected...
