2 months in under 3k miles. First dealer oil change and replaced coolant reservoir tank under warranty.

  
5 months in under 5k miles. Second dealer oil change, tire rotation, and air conditioning suction hose replaced under warranty.

9 months in under 9k miles. Third dealer oil change and steering worm gear recall completed.   


1 year and 4 months in under 12k miles, oil changed myself, tires rotated, found out dealer did not reinstall all the screws holding under tray.

  
1 year and 9 months in under 15k miles, second oil change done by myself.

  
2 years in currently at 18,xxx miles, rear brake pads started squealing, changed to Powerstop Z23 Carbon Fiber Ceramic brake pads. Stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires have noticeable wear on inner edge, wear indicator 3/32 inside 4/32 outside. Changed engine air filter and cabin air filter.

  
Notes: I change the oil and filter once the oil life indicates 50%. Takes a full 5 quart jug and around half a quart from the small bottles. Only used OEM Honda oil filters.   


Stop going to dealer for anything other than warranty work. The newest guys get put on LOF, and will likely strip your drain plugs and forget undercarriage bolts. 



Rear brake pads you can slap on. The brake torque vectoring will wear rear pads faster than the fronts. No vibrations or noises afterwards. Changing the rear pads was very easy, no scan tool required. If you can take off the wheel you can pad slap and retract the electronic parking brake by hand. You don’t even need to unplug the parking brake motor. 

Luckily I have access to a tire machine and a balancer that I installed my own tires and balanced my own rims. The tires are low profile but the rims are NOT reverse mounted. Find someone who knows what they are doing that won’t scratch your rims. Same for the FL5 rims. 

Alignment was pretty spot on, nothing was too far out of spec for 18k miles. I don’t daily this car but I have taken it on a few long distance trips and carve the canyons a few times a month.

  
Surprisingly the manual states the brake fluid is changed at 3 year intervals so I left that alone. I plan on doing a brake fluid flush and drain and fill for the manual transmission fluid next year.
