yup, after you get your oil changed take the engine restore and pour it right into the crank. they make bottles for 4, 6, and 8 cyl cars. just get the bottle for the 4 banger pour it in and you'll be ready to go.

unless your car is throwing an engine code your cat should be fine.

I did have to get a VTEC solenoid change, which cost me like $250 at the dealer cause nobody else wanted to do the job... They fixed it back in Sept. and this mechanic put the computer on the car last Friday and said the same code came up so I went to the dealer and they said it was probably b/c the computer stores the codes for future reference.. Unless the check engine light is on, not to worry.. I don't trust them dudes... Of course, they would charge me $40 just to put the computer on it to verify ish..

you do know you can check the code yourself don't you?

if you don't there is a sticky in the 6th gen accord section on honduh.com how to do it. you can also reset the code by pulling the clock fuse which is on the passanger side of your car.

HAN is a fun site, I've been here since I got my accord(almost 4 years). the 6th gen accord crew over at honduh.com is a pretty good resource as well. good info as well as a good for sale section.
