Just purchased a 05 Honda Accord EX-L V6 with 28k as a daily driver for my wife. This is our first Japanese made car so I am going to be learning a new language. Just picked up the car 4/18/07. I 'm sure to have lots of questions. Seems to be a friendly bunch of knowledgeable people on board.
From what I've seen so far this car is pretty solid with plenty of power. I'm sure I will have some typical used car issues to deal with, first up is curb rash on the front wheels.

Ok here is my first question.
What are you're thoughts on running synthetic oil?
TIA

Attempting to post a pic hope it works!

Synthetic oil is completely up to you. I ran my 94 accord for 231k using regular 5w30, and never had an issue, chaning every 5-7k. To me, synthetic would not be money well spent, unless recommended by the mfgr. Others would not agree.
