Just wanted to update good people on this board which helped me a lot with reading material
I still have this car, hit 200K miles last week. Following advice from first oil analysis I switched to extended drain intervals, between 8 and 12K, usually annually in the fall. Used Mobil 1 5W30 found cheap in W-mart, starting from about 100K - mostly High Mileage. Filter is Purolator, air filter - still the same K&N cleaned few times since then. Mostly city driving.
The car still goes strong, was able to keep 100 MPH at 5th recently staying on the tail of some sppedy bimmer. Oil consumption was steady 1 qt/year till it hit 190K miles or so and oil started leaking out a bit around distributor. Since last oil change in September I had to add oil twice already, 1/2 qt each, not really sure what the reason for that, cold be valve guide seals too.
I actually bought 2011 Sienna, we use for long trips but handling is so ugly I still prefer Accord for all local driving and commuting. Having extra car and being old clunker worth probably less than $1K I am not afraid to do all kind of repairs on it, like welding broken exhaust pipe (still original), TB, struts in all 4 corners (originals were not that bad), bushings, oil seals on transmission, axle. Lots of fun. Since I keep the records, in last 10 years from 100K this car costed me $4.5K including everything except gas and insurance. That includes TB at 105K and clutch somewhere around 130K professionally made since I was not brave enough to do it myself back then.
