Default Service Schedule Question

I have a 2013 Accord EX-L (CVT) with almost 22K miles on it and I almost feel silly asking this question.

Before I go write any else, YES, I know there is that wonderful thing called a "Maintenance Minder" built into my car...hey unless my car car can directly talk to me I simply don't trust it...and for those of us that regularly care for our cars by doing PREVENTATIVE maintenance...well here's my question.

Does anybody have (or can point me towards) a good general maintenance schedule for my Accord?

I already change my oil every 5K (Mobil1 & K&N filters) so I'm more curious about things like;
- Coolant
- ATF
- Brake Fluid
- Spark Plugs

I know the spark plugs have iridium tips...aren't these good for something close to 100K miles...?

Coolant...I think every other year or every 50K miles...?

ATF & Brake Fluid...I have no idea.

Thanks in advance!

Scott

  • Coolant: Honda Maintenance Minder (MM) sub-code item 5. Honda MM probably at approx. +- 120,000 miles, then every 60,000 miles/ Benardi Honda Parts shows 5 years/60,000 miles life . I would change at every 2-3 years/30,000 miles
  • CVT Fluid (not referred to or the same as ATF): Honda MM probably approx. +- 60,000 miles. I would recommend 2-3 years/30,000 miles
  • Brake fluid: Honda recommends every 3 years. Honda MM does not show brake fluid sub-code. I recommend every 2-3 years.
  • Spark plugs; Honda MM sub-code item 4. Honda MM probably at approx.+- 105,000. I would recommend at 100,000 – 105,000.
The system automatically moves up maintenance items or delays them so they get done along with engine oil replacement. For example, if tire rotation is normally done at 7,500 miles, but the oil life ends around 6,000 miles, the system will move up tire rotation. Or, if the oil life appears to be ending around 9,000 miles, the system will delay tire rotation.

That schedule is for an older generation Honda (99 Civic Si); which is similar to older Accords. The spark plug interval is different for the newer generation Hondas due to iridium spark plugs. In addition, newer Hondas have cabin filters which older ones did not. The newer Honda Accord 4 cylinders had a timing chain vs. older Honda Accord 4 cylinder timing belt....
