What is the proper torque amount for the lugs?

^^^^^Double check the manual but people here report 80 ft lbs is listed in the manual. German cars I have owned call for 90-110.

80 ftlbs

Honda does lower than most alloys.. maybe softer alloy? But its 80

I think because some German cars uses bolts rather than lug nuts. I know my sister's 3-series says 120 ft/lb of torque.

Just checked my cold tire pressures. All 4 were over, but not by much. 4 psi at the most. Adjusted and recalibrated the TPMS.

calibration is not successful. Press and hold
the TPMS button again."

Thanks!

I keep $20 as emergency spare change in the owner's manual, don't forget to grab it before trading in.

I made SURE THAT i GRABBED MY k&n AIR FILTER AND ALL WEATHER FLOR MATS. I also had splash guards but to my surprise, my new car had some on them.

Mine were at 35. I put them at 33/32 and I did not like the handling. I then decided to put them at 34. I might try 33 all (Sport).

Mine was spot on when I picked up my car, but I always check again after a few days of getting any tire servicing done since they don't always compensate for the cold weather when filling up the tires. On previous cars, I've always ran them 4-6 psi higher than the recommended pressure, but on this one, I won't go over 35 psi. The ride gets noticeably bouncier above that and it doesn't improve gas mileage or handling at higher pressures. OEM Goodyear LRR tires have a pretty stiff sidewall I guess.

Full tank gas
4 floor mats
Tire pressure and lugnuts
Inspect car, walk around look at paint for any blemishes, etc
Open hood, trunk for inspection
Check mileage (5-10 miles typ)
Make sure VIN matches paperwork (I've had them mismatch before!)
Check glove box for unusual items (someone here reported drain plugs in their's)

Excellent advice. I also check after I take her in to the the dealership. We have some old school mechanics here that stick every tire for every car at 32psi. Drives me nuts.

Grabbed my filtermagnet off the oil filter too. Been using the same one for years.

To all new owners check your tire pressure found 40 PSI in mine. FYI V6 coupe is 33 front 32 rear. Then recalibrate TPMS car rides better now. Drove it a 100 miles then I decided to check the pressure. You would think the dealer would check this?
