*Any info you guys would like us to add, please PM one of the mods or reply to this thread. We're still looking for info on: fluid capacities, problem areas (rattles, etc), torque specs.
This FAQ is not meant to answer most of your detailed questions in a nutshell. It is meant to give you a place to start looking for an answer. You still have to do your own reading and draw your own conclusions.
Of course, this FAQ is not meant to be used as a Bible or as a replacement for common sense. It is only meant to be used as a guide. Do not go out and pour 5.3 quarts of oil into your car and assume the oil is at the correct level. If you bring the part number for the brake pads into your Honda dealer and they tell you that you have the wrong part number, I would generally advise you to believe them.
Good luck and happy motoring :yes: :thmsup:
