So, we just picked up a 2005 Honda Accord EX-L V6.
From what I understand, this has a 5 speed A/T. This car is in EXCELLENT shape!
Questions
- The owners manual says there is a washer that needs to be replaced during an oil change. What is this, why do I need to replace it and where can I get them?
- I'm planning on running a 5w-20 Synthetic ... M1? Which filters are good. I am going to most likely just find a Ford filter that will interchange on the car.
- The A/T oil looks clean, which makes me believe it's been changed at some point. How do I change it on this car? Do I have to suck it through the dipstick?
- What A/T fluid do I use in this car? Do I have to use the specified Honda fluid or is there a better/cheaper option?
Will 15'' wheels fit this car? I know the lower end models had 195/65-15 tires ... There are a few sets of 195/65-15 tires on craigslist locally. It's a popular bolt pattern, I'm sure I could score a set of wheels for it at the local junkyard.
Thanks!
Anything else we should be looking out for with this car?
