Hello.
New to the forum.
Not new to Honda.
Wife traded 04 CRV for the new 08 Accord.
I have nothing but nice things to say about this new style Accord.
Everyone that has seen or ridden in it agrees.
Absolutely awesome.
The 3.5 really comes alive after 3800 rpms.
Question, what's this oil indicator life thing? It says 90%. Does that mean it has 90% of it's life left, or I've used 90% of it's life already?
Couple of pics....
Clicky picky, then look to the right for "full size" link.....

Welcome and congratz on the new car!

The "90%" means you have 90% oil life remaining. Check out your owners manual for more information about that display.

Yeah, that.

Please do NOT change your oil earlier than 15%, and save yourself some money and don't change the oil at 3,750 miles as every dealership recommends. It's pointless...even according to the owner's manual.
