2012 60k Mile recommendations?

I know the coolant is one, but while it's in the shop- may as well do plugs, drain and refill MT fluid? Anything else?




Currently living in an apt, don't have a garage anymore- so oil changes are all ill do myself. Wife and I have only one car, she's out of town and i'm off for a few days- so i'd like to get some work done.

Thanks in advance

I'd do intake and cabin air filters as well.

Check the brake pads, make sure they've still got some life left in them.

Thanks Mike, ordered a cabin filter online. I could handle that one and the intake air filter, which I forgot about until recently. Luckily we mostly do country driving, almost had a panic attack about it.

Think I should get the valves checked?

Brake fluid flush and rotor thickness check is what I would also suggest

Otherwise I think you got it covered with a trans fluid and coolant flush

I thought coolant was 110k miles or 5 years? Same with plugs.

Spend the money you saved on those items on a valve adjustment....


X2 on the MTF replacement and brake/clutch fluid flush.

BTW MT fluid replacement is no more difficult than an oil change.

Hmm, good to know buff. Found this:
on MT fluid change, seems not too bad.. guess it would depend on how much they charge.

If you have the work done at an independent shop, be sure to specify HONDA oem fluids BTW.
