2011 accord sedan 176k - 4cyl
New member, and just wondering with 176k miles and no apparent issues, what should I be looking at in the way of PM. I've changed all fluids (3x on tranny), new plugs, filters, cleaned throttle body & reset idle, new front struts. Anything particular to this vehicle ready to go?
Not particular to any specific vehicle, but 2 things that are common to overlook are antifreeze & brake fluid.
They aren't always on a mileage schedule, but rather on a time schedule because they deteriorate over time. People tend to look at the mileage schedule & sometimes overlook the stuff that says "replace every xx years".
Antifreeze itself doesn't go bad but the anti-corrosion additives in the antifreeze get "used up" over time. Maybe every 10 years(??) so that's not a panic for your car. Older cars probably had stuff that doesn't last too long, so anyone reading this with a 1997 Accord would probably change it every 2-4 years.
Brake fluid absorbs water from the air and becomes corrosive. I usually flush with fresh brake fluid every time I change brake pads. That works out to 2 or 3 years for me.
