Almost 200 Oil Changes: The Million-Mile Honda Accord!

[@MapleBar777]

That's not just good build quality. That's phenomenal maintenance.

[@HeyDude93gt]

That and probably built on Wednesday

[@MapleBar777]

@@HeyDude93gt Monday cars come with over torqued nuts and bolts, and Friday cars are always missing a few. 🤣

[@censored4christ162]

And a lot of build quality bro. This things door materials are thicker and tbe shopping cart wont cave it in when tbe wind blows it. You really wish you could just buy them new just like this just like you can a dr650

[@scootersonlyrepair6773]

Those aren't stains. That's just wear

[@scootersonlyrepair6773]

​@@censored4christ162😂😅😂😅😂😅😂 no that this is a tin can it has just been taken care of. If I throw a coin at it ,it will dent.

[@creedleader5583]

And the fact it's registered in New England too. I can only imagine how much work went into fighting off rust over such a long time.

[@daftcow706]

If you get a carwash once a week not much

[@antoniobiondo1509]

I noticed the tag says Maine, how it doesn’t look like swiss cheese is beyond me.

[@Sgt_Paco]

Oh god yeah my mom's 2011 pathfinder has more rust

[@thatslegit]

it was rebuilt by honda. even living in rust free arizona you still get patina and sun fade in under 5 years

[@warrenb8228]

Spray WD-40 on everything monthly. It’ll last forever. They used to spray nuclear missiles with it during the Cold War to keep rust away.

[@vancemacd6315]

I had an 89 accord, power everything, sunroof, flip up lights, 5 speed. It was by far my favorite vehicle I ever owned.

[@somedudeinatunnel3102]

I thought I wrote this comment, except mine didn't have a sunroof. Beige on maroon. Coupe too. I really wish I kept it

[@aaronzimny8201]

Same here. Fun to drive too with the manual transmission. Not a lot of HP by modem standards, but plenty for such a light car.

[@Nutzac]

Original engine and transmission..... that's a true million mile vehicle 👏

[@legacyturbo8485]

Early 90’s accords are the best longest lasting accords ever produced ..!!!

[@censored4christ162]

Wish they had the same factory just selling the same car. Like a dr650. Same one, for years

[@babbalonian2]

Bought my 1998 civic brand new. Still drive it today. It has 147,000 km,,,which is 92,000 miles. Still on the first timing belt, and stainless muffler. Its a very easy car to maintain, so i never bought another one. Just did the front brakes in my garage for 93 bucks. Has the og paint, two door DX. rarely drive in the rain,,,its always in my garage. Great on gas, aluminium engine block etc. . Gets alot of complements here in the future.

[@justinhopper5941]

They don’t build them like they used to. Now car companies build them to break so you can visit the service department. The service centre is actually where dealerships make the bulk of their money, not selling the cars.

[@NoirSavant]

They’re not built to break, they just aren’t built to last beyond the lease.

[@erickricharson5196]

​@BlackBoyInABlueBimmer actually they are designed to fail.

[@NoirSavant]

@@erickricharson5196 actually they aren’t.

[@hustla818]

No they aren't. Hondas and Toyota are just as reliable now if not more reliable. Other brands break down at 150k miles if you're lucky, but those other brands always broke down that early, even in the 90s

[@mofayer]

​@@NoirSavant yes, BMW are not built to last, but you can still find accords from previous generation with 300k and in very good condition.

[@GA-FL-pirate]

That is awesome, my favorite honda body style. I've seen 2 year old cars with nastier dirtier interior. This guy loved his car

[@wyattengle7512]

And it still looks like it's in better shape than most new accords less than 10 yrs old now

[@garywalker8693]

I just went three hundred thousand miles on my Honda Odyssey. Love Honda

[@zuhawk15]

I’m at 288,435 on my 06 Accord love my car

[@mixedupcrazyday209]

My 2015 odyssey started misfiring because of VCM at 120k miles. Lucky if you dont have this issue, because many do. I recommend getting a VCM tuner.. Seems to run good now. just been a sketchy experience especially because i still have a payment

[@garywalker8693]

Mine is a 2000. Paid $300 for it because the people that owned it before me were not smart. They put the battery in backwards and it blew the main fuse. Apparently pissed off some people that threw a rock through the back window. Their IQ was lower than their shoe size. $100 for the glass, $5 for the fuse. Still runs like it's brand new. Recently replaced the EGR valve but that comes with age

[@anthonypicklesimer1030]

I’ve got a 93 accord with 329000 miles absolutely love it not quite as nice as this one but you cant beat the old hondas

[@linuxman0]

I remember when this model was a "new" Accord. These "old Accords"... I feel old :->

[@siubhan2047]

I had a 2000 civic vtec that i drove flatout to work on the highway every single day. At about 50000 miles i was in an accident. When my car came back from the repair shop I drove it for 150 miles before realizing something was badly wrong. Turned out the repair shop neglected to re-oil the engine, thus running completely dry. I drove it straight back, yes DROVE it. They refilled it and i kept on hammering it for the next 60000 miles till i sold it. Never skipped a beat.

[@wydopnthrtl]

You gotta be kidding....

[@censored4christ162]

"Lightly used take it or leave it i know what I got"

[@davidnorth3411]

The 1972 Cvcc that my dad drove from 1976 to 1983 was built well , my HS handoff was still going strong until 1988 , this when I moved up to another vehicle , I would see it up to 10 years later still driving around .

[@lcharles7444]

Wish they still made cars that reliable

[@moniesincere5083]

Thats a testament to Honda!

[@OldManBadly]

Most of what it takes is living outside of the rust belt and being lucky enough not to end up in an accident. Otherwise, just keep fixing things as they break and you are good to go forever.

[@joebrito2066]

Amazing the facts that this car is from main and it’s not a rust bucket

[@tdubh666]

Its because in the usa you guys got absolute base model engines that were Super reliable

[@dennislavoie5869]

A 32 year old car in the New England rust belt that didn’t rust out. He must of washed it constantly and kept the undercarriage immaculate. The paint looks pristine. Great job 👏

[@americancanuck9790]

I had a teacher in high school in 2014 that was still driving his 1989 Honda Civic. You take care of these cars and drive them often they last a very long time.

[@MireSeVini]

‘17 Accord here. Gonna hit 100k this year & no major mechanical issues. Keeping it as long as I can but I unfortunately live in the rust belt.

[@BlueAustinMaxi]

I knew about the car but I didn't realize it was in my state, really goes to show how persistent us Mainers are

[@AirmanBrown]

Now this is how we cut back on emissions! Making reliable cars and keeping up with maintenace. This owner prevented 10+ vehicles from needing to be manufactured!

[@uncaboat2399]

I'm not surprised it went a million miles, it's a Honda! I'm just surprised the guy kept all the receipts for all the maintenance! I have kept my Toyota Corolla for almost 200,000 miles, with one axle repair and one fender bender, but I have no clue how many oil changes its had!!

[@alexanderhess2351]

New cars could only dream

[@jessea7117]

Hondas and Toyotas from the 80s and 90s were indestructible

[@JakeyBro69]

That’s either some insane maintenance and keeping it inside a garage every time you’re done driving, or a full body fix. Because there’s no way you’ll get to a million miles without any rust at all

[@ImClean-]

My stepdad had a 99 civic given to him by work. He’d drive to chicago every day and when he got rid of it it had 800,000 miles on it. He gave it to my BIL who sold it just before a million miles.

[@kayleehong7818]

My Toyota Avalon 08 has 286k and engine not leaking not smoking and still purs. To get to 1 million miles, you need to drive often, maintain often, and not care to buy the latest and greatest cars. Some people just want newer cars even what they have is still running great.

[@TexTom1981]

My 87 Corolla had over 1.5 million miles on it when I retired it after driving it 23 years. It's routine with toyota.

[@fredwilliams7893]

And this is why oil intervals need to be brought up! How often was this oil changed?

[@MrDrakula3000]

A million miles on an original engine is awesome but it actually happens more than people think

[@Fire5G]

I’ve seen million mile cars with three engines, those aren’t true million mile cars. This is, true reliability is shown here.

[@williambray7784]

Accords are amazing. I own a Fit, runs awesome.

[@aidendamep5118]

1,000,000 miles at an average of 60 miles per hour is 16666.67 hours, which is 694.44 days, which is 1.9 years. They spent a total of almost 2 years behind the wheel of this accord. Actually crazy.

[@jorges3766]

Honda will forever be 🐐

[@SaulTheZealot]

Thats awesome, I want my car to go a million miles.

[@TBlock1347]

Same with toyotas. The 80s and 90s models really are built to last.

[@slstone76]

That's a MAINE plate... Maine, the way life SHOULD be.

[@ayanned]

That car is far more useful than women that had been ran though that have similar milage.

[@milestonefx6361]

When u take care of things they last ❤

[@RonniePI]

Try that with an American car! Looking thru some used car listings, I kept finding things like Chrysler and Chevy with 120,000, but it's on it's second engine and 3rd transmission!

[@ZIlxIM]

my Dodge caliber is at 423k miles, not sure about the engine or trans bc I've only had the car for 6 months

[@dustinkettwig8970]

Wish I had the patience to do this. Got a gx470 and I believe it would make it pretty damn high but I just grow tired of vehicles too quick.

[@ziggiesaquaticexotics8270]

About 75 to 80 thousand miles per set of brakes that’s not bad 😮

[@G19Jeeper]

Only getting 13.8k miles out of a set of tires is WILD.

[@jeovs1]

I just got a 2012 v6 at 11k miles and I’ve added 13k miles too it in 2 months. I should probably take better care of it like this guy 😂

[@herselolmos3743]

Just wait until the suspension is tampered with

[@sterlingfoulks1325]

As my dad says a car doesn't die until the rust takes over

[@ryanperez7080]

That's why I don't want to get a new car because these older ones are are built really good I have a 2001 Toyota Camry Le at 196,500 miles

[@theevilben666]

My friends grandma got a new toyota corolla in 2016 when her 98 corolla hit 999,999 and they asked her to take a new car in exchange so they could display it.

[@carstuff4u942]

Mine went 104k miles and the timing belt broke and totalled the engine. Odd tho, as i just checked the belt, and it looked excellent!

[@gforcekaras]

Even more amazing if it was built in America at the Marysville plant!

[@tman4915]

Yeah, unfortunately those days are over. Profits over reliability is where the money is at. Everything nowadays is built to sell not built to last.

Japan focused so much on reliability back then, their modern cars are still much more reliable than German, British, or American cars who sway more to a planned obsolescence approach. The amount of german and British cars i see with eml and airbag lights is shocking, especially VAG.

[@slevenkelevra6945]

[@pod9363]

I wonder with a lot of new cars how if you actually did the maintenance a little early like oil at 3k and trans fluid at 30-40k how long they would actually last. Like if you took a Hyundai and just kept it in mint condition inside and out how long it would actually go for.

[@Ovahlls]

OK I don't think you guys understand - - newer Honda accords don't last nearly as long as they used to. My 2003 Accord Coupe blew it's auto transmission at 250K miles. Like you're lucky if you get 200k miles out of the newer gen accords. The fact he got 1 MILLION on an 80's accord is absolutely insane.
