My question is, should anything else be done to the car now besides service level B1? Does it need anything else? And I don't want the Honda dealership, which is where I take it for service, trying to sell me anything I don't need. I want to go in there informed and confident in what I need at this time.
Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks for your help.
I put Nokian WRs on my '02 CR-V in early '06... Those last 27K miles I owned it were the best I had.. They transformed the ride and handling...

What I like about them with the CR-V, is not only did I get wintertire-like snow traction, they were better handling dry-road tires than any of the crappy OEM tires that Honda uses.... In the size my CR-V used (205/70-15), they were H-Rated, vs the S-rated tires that came on it..
It was a win-win... except for the price..... shewwww (still, worth it).

The steering is already phenomenal but I've got to thank Honda for the worst tires ever that made the transition to real rubber an epiphany of great chassis response!

LMK how you made out,

Today the check engine light came on and the speedometer stopped working accurately. It still moves but is clearly not responding properly. The "D" light is NOT blinking
Car is going to dealer for clicking sound on Tuesday anyway. Are these two things possibly related?
The original oil is Honda certified so no worries. Just wait until the maintenance minder goes to 15% life... probably around 6 -7 K.
No light will show but it will remind you each time you start the car by displaying 15% life.
I went with M1 for every oil change (changed at the 15% mark each time and rotated the tires as well. OEM BS tires only lasted 23K). There is 48K on the odo so far and the engine is perfect.

I think 10k oil changes have been common over the pond for over a decade or more.
Yeah, I think they changed the time frame on the later models because they went to synthetic oil.

But, do you really trust the Brit's for reliability - just kidding!
But I don't know what to do to fix it. Would somebody please give me detailed directions on how to fix the leak. Thanks!
If you noticed the water INSIDE the car, then you'd have a problem (a clogged drain).
The Japanese automaker told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration it has been investigating the issue for several years. In September 2008, it received three claims of bearing breakage in the United States and began investigating. It received other complaints worldwide and changed its bearing supplier in late 2009.
Honda will begin to notify owners on Aug. 31

Any thoughts - I have tried running next to the car while my wife is driving, etc. Just can;t pinpoint it.
Any experience with something like this. I did notice one of my electric locks did not work but never noticed anything else. ANyone have any idea what this is or if it is worth worrying about
1. How much brake fluid do I need for a full brake fluid flush? I have another independent mechanic I go to and I doubt he carries Honda OEM. I plan on picking some up at the dealer's parts department.
2. Is a purolator brand cabin air filter good enough? Or should i spend more for Honda OEM?
3. Finally, they also recommended a BG fuel induction service at $150. What is the best way to handle this? I have noticed a rough idle when the car is stopped in Drive and some lower MPG. I am willing to spend some money, not an excessive amount, though, to get these issues addressed.
Thanks.
You don't need the other stuff at 32K. If you want to treat the car to fuel injector cleaner go to NAPA auto parts and ask for some BGK-44 or order some online. It'll be about $130 cheaper !!
You don't need a brake fluid flush unless you can see that the fluid is no longer honey-colored, but rather brown and gooey (I rather doubt it but go look).
But I did want to follow up on the OPs question - how much brake fluid should you flush through? 1 bottle, 2 bottles? You're supposed to visually see when the color changes but I remember when I changed my IS 350's brake fluid, I couldn't tell. So I just went through I think like 4 bottles, spending about a bottle for each of the axles.
If not, what was your experience with getting it fixed? From where did you get it fixed and how much was it?
Look into a UOA in the near future to make sure you're not throwing away oil when it's still good.
