Did following DIY jobs, 2000 Honda Accord EX v6 sedan, still going strong. Mileage 197,834. Any thing else which you guys would like to recommend?

9/8/2012 - Mobil 5w 30 High mileage oil change

9/8/2012 - Rotated tires, cleaned throttle body

Only thing you might think about - dist cap and rotor - the OE wires on these seem to last forever.....

After that, a good wash and wax before old man winter shows up and enjoy

 

I just got done replacing about 12' of vacuum line and a most of my coolant lines. Doesn't really do much performance wise, but usually you see a huge difference in a vacuum test. Then again I have a 96' and they've had time to dry rot. I'd say maybe even a bottle of seafoam. (I haven't done it yet, but from reading the bottle i'm gonna give it a try on Friday.) Maybe even give the PCV valve a shake, just to make sure its still running nice. Tune ups are always fun.

 

You aren't gonna see ANY improvement in performance from vacuum lines & coolant hoses. But just wait for a coolant hose to rupture and spew antifreeze all over the place, and then you'll know why you need to do those things.

 

Poorman212, thank you for the advise. Planning to change the distributor cap and rotor over this coming weekend. Trying to shop around for the parts, do you want me to replace them with the OEM parts? please advise.

 

I always take brakepadsoff and clean/lube up.Thats good to do on every Honda!Its the only weaknes i know about.
