Hm sammyg10,

Why would you want to tune your brand new car when it has only 7k miles?

There are basic maintenance that you can do yourself.

1. Anyhow, you gotta change the oil and filter after 1k miles break-in if you haven't done so already. Use 5W20 oil (any brand will do). As far as the OEM filter, I use Bosch filter. I've ordered a dozen of them and keep them i n garage since they're cheaper that Honda, and I don't want to waste time buying them individually.

2. Inflate the tires properly and rotate them.

Regarding using OEM fluid or not, at this stage, you are topping so I would play safe and use Honda OEM fluids (costing just a little bit more) to avoid mixing different types of fluids.

You can do all the above steps my byself.
