I just got down to 15%. Please don't chastise me for going so long on the original oil. There are lots of opinions on that subject. I made my decision and I spoke with a Honda mechanic that had been around Hondas for 20+ years.

You must have really low mileage then. I've done two oil changes and one was part of the 15k maintenance. I'm at 22k now and 40% after just over 12 months.

Oh yeah, I've had to have the pads replaced and the rotors turned already also.

Don't worry, we're not chastising you man. To each his own.

No offense taken.

I go 10,000-11,000 miles on my 86 civic with Mobil-1 and I have over 160,000 miles in it. I also get between 35 and 37 miles per gallon. Not bad for a 24 year old carburetor!

www.tunersports.com

The pads may not be on the site yet. It's a fairly new online store. I ordered though the owner. He's the admin for Clubintegra.com. His username is Jay Jay. Send him a PM on CI. Tell him that I sent you.

I got the pads for $72 shipped.
