He traded his Accord in with 667,000 miles. Thats no jive. He had to trade it because the northern Illinois winters and salt caused the right rear strut tower to rust and come through the passenger's compartment! Engine still ran great, he said he put like 7 clutches in that thing!
You're doin' alright. Check with Honda to ensure these later model cars can tolerate synthetic, or maybe ask 98CoupeV6. Just don't know there.
I believe they are ok with synthetics. I also do tranny fluid (Honda ATF only) drain every 15k miles. AUTO tranny failures (statistically) worrie me more then the engine ones.
