Engine fluids for my 03 coupe
I got a 03 accord coupe 4 cyc. I see there all kinds of fluids in the market that I can add to my engine after a new oil change. Any recommendations?

I would recommend adding nothing....its a brand new car with no problems...why take the chance of screwing it up? None of those additives will do anything useful to a new car anyway.

aren't synthetic oils for cars higher mileage? I'm not too sure.
i also heard from some other people on the forum, saying that it's not compatiable for my car. I want the best stuff for car, but can I use it?

I just got a 03 Coupe 4cyl also. What's the procedure for break-in? The dealer told me don't change the oil until 7500 miles, but I couldn't verify this anywhere.
Whenever I do the first oil change, I think I'm going to use Mobil-1 (and continue to use it throughout the life of the car). What are the benefits of using synthetic instead of regular oil?
I'm also looking to get a leather steering wheel wrap. Anyone know where I can get one of these (besides a dealer) and how much they cost?
