My 1998 Honda Accord has 411,000 miles. I was just nodding my head every time you pointed to something that needs to be checked, replaced or maintained. Even the best made cars need consistent maintenance. But it you're lucky, and you pick a good car (like my Honda Accord!), it can last for a long time. Thanks for sharing your tips! -Robert

I had a 2001 Accord when I was an on-the-road salesman. Sold it 4 years ago with 396,000 miles and still drove 200 miles every week to help my Dad. Changed oil every 5k, timing change every 120,000. Can't beat a Honda!

Don’t forget about the other filters! Cabin air is nice for clean smelling air but also the fuel filter which can put extra strain in the fuel pump if it gets super dirty and restricts flow. Worst case scenario, the fuel pump dies or the engine runs too lean.

Currently own several 'high mileage' Acura vehicles (07 MDX @ 243k, 08 MDX @ 216k, 09 RL @ 211k & 99 TL @ 336k). After 200k consider everything suspect. Meaning most of the movements associated components have most likely exceeded engineered life span. Acuras of my vintage specifically not using premium fuel is very much a short term gain, long term loss (the EGR sys specifically). I stick to the maintenance schedule as close as possible with the only exception is oil. I replace in/around 3k using Mobil Full Syn High Mileage w/Wix filter. Honestly people can debated forever on best oil//filter combo. The key is that as thw engine continues to age it is breaking down - hello physics. So as you cross the 200k plus boundary the factory default of 7k oil change should be ignored. Everything he spoke to in this vid is spot on. PS - transmissions will fail. My 99 TL 4SPD has fianlly thrown in the towel. While it may feel daunting a $30 Honda manual from RockAuto, rent or buy some tools, and set aside the time, you too can rebuild your transmission. I guess biggest takeaway - any vehicle north of 200k dont get mad at its issues- just solve them or anticipate as much as possible. Happy wrenching everyone!

2006 Town and Country minivan with 210,000 miles. Synthetic oil change every 3-4 thousand miles. Exchange trans fluid every 40,000 and trans filter change every 100 thousand. Brake fluid flush every 40,000. Engine coolant exchange every 30-40,000. Still has original water pump. Plugs, spark plug wires and coil pack every 100 thousand. Exchange power steering fluid every 30-40 thousand.Burns 200 cc oil every 4 thousand miles. Rust belt van with minimal rust because it gets Fluid Film undercarriage every year in the fall. Lastly, drive conservatively! Don’t accelerate to stop-lights! Don’t accelerate like it’s a drag race. Don’t tail-gate!

@@justlg3359MAF - mass air flow sensor, immediately after the air filter box. MAP - mass air pressure sensor generally for turbo charged engines. This particular Acura/Honda model in the video may not have a MAP, because it is a naturally aspirated engine, but I could be wrong, as I don't have intimate knowlege of this V6 engine's electronic management system. But it will definitely have a MAF sensor. 🙂 You need MAF sensor cleaner spray to clean the MAF sensor, which the autostore will have. Be careful to use it in a well-ventliated space as it is likely to be a known carcinogen.

Nice video and tips. Sometimes we have go rouge and not do what the owners manual recommends. Like some toyotas say " lifetime transmission fluid never needs changing ". Well, if you want your car to last, you better change it. And sometimes earlier than later. For example, I would change my coolant every 75k miles. This way you'll protect your water pump from going bad because coolant is also a lubricant. Also, I would change transmission fluid every 50k miles. Oil changes every 5k miles or 6 months, and brake/clutch fluid every 5 years.

I had to replace the module for the climate controls, cost 30 bucks pick and pull I just did it myself. Though I don't generally DIY the daily driver It's a very light car so the tires and breaks last a long time. I fairly regularly do fluids. Oil whenever the tag says.

So you don't do anything apart from regular maintenance it seems. Those are all the basic thing a car guy knows, even the trans & brake fluid. I've a very well maintained hyundai bought used but I just reached 100,000 miles on it. Runs smooth as you won't believe. So it means nothing needs changed/replaced, my timings gotta be good too? I know I need to replace my belts which I'll do at the coming service. And I don't really change my engine oil anytime before the service center or the oil can says till this many month or that many miles (which ever comes first though 😅) Edit: I don't drive fast or crazy all the time because where I live, the traffic is bad, jammed all the time. But even driving slow don't mean you're driving right. And when I drive fast, it's weekends, nights. I don't drive to hit the red line but close or according to how I need my speed deliverance. I don't feel anything wrong but it's very hard to believe that around that high of miles driven everything's gotta be werkin fine.

160k on my Corolla, I always do my oil changes 3-5k miles depending on what kind of driving I do that cycle. I put fuel additives on my gas tank to keep my engine running smooth. New Air filters every 2 oil changes. Transmission fluid change 30k miles I do the drain and fill method not the flush. I disconnect the battery every 10k miles to clean and condition the terminals and condition the ground. It keeps connections strong and prevents it from having a short somewhere. It’s all love and care to our cars. Our vehicles take us from point A to point B! Really good video!

I had an 06 TSX (176,000 miles), 08 RDX (+210,000 miles), and 11 MDX (155,000 miles) with very similar engine bays. I switched to full syn oil at the first oil change, changed the AT fluid every 30,000 miles, power steering at 100,000 miles, cabin air every year, rotation/balance every oil change, alignments as needed, and engine filter every 2 years, and brake fluid every 3-4 years. I did the 105,000 miles scheduled maintenance of spark plugs, coolant, water pump, serpentine belt kit, and valve adjustment (timing belt only on V-6). I had similar issues of alternators failing, leaky P/S pump/rack, crappy OEM battery failures, cracks in radiator or coolant hose, faulty radiator cap. All three cars were in perfect operating conditions when I either handed them down to a family member.

I’ve owned 10+ Hondas/Acuras, and something you really need to watch is on the double wishbone ones, the front end wear parts. Don’t let the upper control arms go until they break and your wheel falls off! They should go 100k or so. Includes lower ball joints, lower control arms, axles, tie rods etc. one of the more frequent things I’ve needed to do. Alternators for sure and on the 90s ones, distributors. Use the blue coolant. And ONLY Honda power steering fluid. Only the ngk spark plugs that came with the car. I always drive manuals and don’t worry about the fluid inside the transmission but clutch fluid can be bled.

No disrespect to this guy but he doesn't know what he's talking about. When your vehicle has mileage that is high enough to be concerning, what you do is go to an auto shop and get a full check up so that all problems of your vehicle can be identified ("note": make sure to tell the mechanics that your check up is due to high mileage.). Lastly if you replace your engine make sure a mechanic changes your mileage meter to match the mileage of the new engine.

Different cars have different maintenance requirements. Everybody should refer to the owners manual for recommendations about your specific car. Almost no car needs an oil change, “every couple of months.” Doing it that often would be wasteful, unless you are driving a LOT of miles.

Mileage and coolant does not correlate. Coolant can be tested with a tester. Definitely don’t wait until 100k miles. Also oil does not need changing every few months. Plenty of scientific vlogs on here on oil performance. I have never changed power steering fluid and a Quick Look at brake fluid is a reason to change. Belts need changing and incorrect tension will wreck an alternator. Why are 100 or 200the markers? Just maintain it.

We bought a 2112 Honda CRV a couple ago. Old & retired now, don't drive much. I was surprised that owner's manual had no maintenance charts like all my previous vehicles had. Manufacturers want you to depend on the computer for maintenance info. Sorry, I don't trust manufacturers. Since I'm not sure what maintenance the previous owner did, I had my mechanic do all you talked about & more. Maintenance is cheaper than repair.

I have a 2008 Acura TL with 180,000 miles on it. I don't know the last time the transmission fluid was changed should I change it? I heard changing it on an old car that hasn't had the fluid changed can cause it to start slipping.

Great question! In your case, since you don’t recall ever changing the transmission fluid it may not be the best option because of potential slipping. So your 100% right! In your case, you should check your transmission fluid every 6 months and make sure you have enough fluid to reach the minimum full line & the red color is still there! Any more questions please feel free to ask! Thanks for the comment 💪🏽

TWO very simple but practical practices for older cars (and new ones too but not as critical): When you start the car wait 20 seconds before you place it in gear giving the time needed to get all the fluids moving and performing their purposes. If you drive in hot weather using the AC (or long distances) when you get home raise the hood of the car and allow the engine to breathe. This gives longer life to all the hoses and plastics under the hood but do so ONLY if your car will be in the garage.

Now you see, I used to think that. Vehicles run at high temperatures for as long as you are driving it - after it's warmed up of course. After you stop the car, where exactly is the "extra" heat coming from to "damage" the plastic parts under the bonnet? As soon as you stop your car, temperatures can only drop because the heat-producing process has stopped. I also don't understand why you suggest to do it in garages only?

If you raise the hood to allow for engine cooling outside a garage, particularly in colder environments, you will likely have a warming facility for small animals.

Would you use 10 year old oil in your car that has been sitting on a shelf in you're garage? Of course not. I have a Chevy truck 2005 with 170,000 and a Ford car 2004 with 165,000 . I change every fluid ( brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant power steering, differentual) and brake pads every 80,000. Drive them easy most of the time. And change oil every 5,000. The only repair required was a water pump replacement in the truck at 165,000 and struts in the ford at 163,000.

For such an old car, there may be a risk of transmission failure if you now do a first time fluid change after 20 years. As no fluid lasts forever due to heat and pressure, I would take the risk and drain out only the oil in the transmission sump, and refill with genuine Toyota fluid, which is likely to be the Type IV fluid, not the WS fluid - check your owners manual for the exact fluid, and do not substitute with aftermarket. And Toyota Type IV is different to Toyota WS fluid, so use only what the manual says. A simple drain and refill will only change out 1/3 of the total fluid in the transmission as there will be lots of leftover old fluid in the torque converter and the oil cooler lines which will not drain out via the sump. I would let the new fluid mix with the old fluid and hope for the best. At worse, you will need a new transmission eventually, and at best, this old gearbox will enjoy some freshness in the fluid and last for a long while yet. I'd repeat the process after another 12 months, to get the fluid cleaner still and then if it's still running, chances are, it will be fine for a long time to come. I certainly would not recommend flushing the transmission so that all of the fluid is 100% fresh in one go, as it may result in transmission failure very soon after.

Other than that just the basic wear and tear items and oil etc. I did do thermostat, water pump, coolant, and serpentine belt at like 200k just as preventative when I did my alternator since I was already in there.

Correct, maintenance is key. Be proactive rather than reactive. I have a 2007 Mitsubishi Galant 2.4L. ORIGINAL engine and transaxle. I purchased it with 57,345 miles in 2009. Today, November 3rd 2023 it has 296,911 miles on the clock. It runs perfect. It has NO leaks of any kind. The engine idles as quiet as a church mouse. No noise of ANY kind. It DOSEN'T BURN a drop of oil. Transaxle runs and shifts perfectly. My maintenance routine is: 1).oil change: every 2 months or 2,000 miles.(Castrol Full Synthetic Extended Performance 5w20). 2).Transaxle drain and fill every 15,000 miles. 3). Coolant flush and NEW thermostat every 2 years. 4). Flush power steering system 15,000 miles. 5).Flush the brake system every 2 years. 6). Replace engine and cabin air filters as needed. 7). Rotate tires every other oil change( 4,000 miles). 8). Replace plugs AND coils every 80,00 miles(NGK Iridium plugs and coils). 9). New timing belt,balance shaft belt,crankshaft and camshaft seals, timing belt tensioner and idler pulleys,water pump(which is driven by the timing belt) every 80,000 miles. 10).fuel injection/air induction system cleaning every 6 months. I'm an ASE master certified mechanic. I perform all my own maintenance. However IF you take care of your car,your car will take care of you.

I look after my car 2015 Yaris fairly well even at 100,000m,only do 5,000m a year & change my oil every 6 months,last year i did my CVT fluid twice as it takes 2.2L each drain,the fluid came in a 5L bottle at £72. Will do others every 4yrs like my old Yaris as i'll explained here ......Had a 2002 1.3L Yaris 1.3L 4sp auto in 2008 (Had 65,000m when i got it & 90,000m when i sold it on to a friend) here in the UK for nearly 15yrs, changed the oil on that yearly at 5,000m, did P/S,coolant (Prestone) ,plugs,air filter every 4 yrs. Brake fluid just the once 10yrs in when i had it about 2017. Did spray underneath everywhere front to back 3x yearly with WD40, many of these Yaris's goes to car heaven with rust in the UK. Rear beam in great cond. only failed it's MOT (Yearly inspection) TWICE & that's on wiper blades/windshield wiper blades. MOT means Ministry of Transport here. It's an overkill for your coolant & thermostat.

I buy new and do very little maintenance. I dump them at 10 years old and 250k miles and never have any major issues. I only have to change tires, brakes, wipers, air filters, oil filter, and oil. At 250k miles cars become unsafe as the body starts breaking down, suspension is wearing out, the drivers seat starts falling apart, the seat belts wear out, and the air bags stop working correctly.

I always did coolent change every 100,000 km. Never had any problems. Then one time I skipped it till 200,000km. When I changed it, there was a bit of rust. Just a bit in the reservoir. This is Toyota long life coolant. So change it frequently. Only take the car to the mechanic for major jobs. I can do it myself, but too lazy and its safer for a full time mechanic does it. So far took it twice to the mechanic for a total of 11 years.

I appreciate you posting this about maintenance in high mileage cars. I have long been an advocate of regular maintenance throughout the life of a vehicle. My 2002 CR V has 400,000 Km or about 250,000 miles on it and I do oil and filter changes every 5000 Km or 3000 miles in Canada. Most fluids have been changed starting in 2022 with manual transmission and differential to coolant in 2023. The battery was replaced in May 2023. The only things left are brake fluid, power steering (done 3 years ago) and the serpentine belt. The spark plugs were done in Feb 22 which is an easy job but if not installed with antiseize very difficult to remove. Use copper type antiseize and NGK Laser iridium plugs which are pre-gapped. It has also had the starter and catalytic converter replaced in 2022. Seems like a lot of money but worth it. I keep a log of all services done by date, mileage, part or fluid and file the receipts or invoices separately. You might want to recommend a careful cleaning of the engine bay before starting. I would a recommend a brake cleaning and adjustment at least once a year at home or at a brake shop. The air cleaner is hard to change in the CR V but I do it at home with a Honda filter. I go by appearance of the filter for frequency. Still have to do the cabin filter. See The CAR NUT CARE GUY video for removal of leaves and debris from the cowling and cleaning of the moon roof tracks. Thanks!
