| 35981 mi | An information warning came on that said "Tighten Fuel Cap." It had been at least a week since the last fill-up. I shut off the engine, removed the fuel cap and then put it back on, twisting it to hear the recommended three clicks. After starting and stopping the engine, and running a few errands, I brought it into the dealer with 19 miles left on the original warranty. The assistant service manager ran diagnostics which said Evaporative Leak and then cleared the warning. He said to drive it 100 miles and see if the warning returns. I asked for written verification that I had visited for the problem but he said running diagnostics and resetting the warning would not require a service department invoice. If this comes up after 19 miles, I'll be out of warranty. |

Looking at engine, right side of camshaft there is a round cover about 1.5" diameter. The o-ring dried and cracked after 14 years of driving and leaked oil onto transmission and down onto driveway, about 1/8 quart per week. Only leaked when engine was running. Wiring manifold from computer to sensors is right next to it and there is no slack so moving it out of the way was difficult. Disconnecting the wires from sensors was more difficult to get to so I didn't do that, only disconnected the ones I could easily see and get to. |

| 152000 mi US $20 |
Poor heat on cool mornings drove me to flush and fill the radiator using typical off-the-shelf chemicals. During that effort I discovered that the overflow bottle had contacted the serpentine belt system and had a hole worn in it. This caused the car to lose enough fluid that the heating performance suffered. I took it out, patched it with fiberglass mesh and adhesive, reinstalled, finished the flush-and-fill, and thereby solved the problem. Flush-and-fill probably not necessary. |
| 153000 mi US $300 |
Old radiator (assumed to be factory original) split at the top tank while driving. Pretty exciting. Installed new radiator, upper and lower hoses, new (green) coolant. |

| 159000 mi | I had an oil leak at 140000 miles in 2012. Oil leaked out from under the timing belt cover and ate up the the timing belt, this repair however was after years of racing and abuse. Driving over curbs hitting the bottom of the engine. |
| 170000 mi | Oil leak because I changed my oil at the honda dealer and they put way too much oil in the engine. I also drive really fast which turns the oil pump faster and wears seals out faster. As well as creates more heat. |

Check engine light came on, low oil pressure. As car is old, rather than trace down the leak, I top it off periodically (~1 qrt/1000 miles). Dealer also suggested using 10W30 instead of 5W20, which has allowed me to top off less often. |

| 125500 mi | It's burning oil quite badly when cold. I think it's the valve stems. No repair per-se. I just top-off the oil at gas stations, and let the car idle more to warm up in the mornings. It has mitigated but not solved the problem. |

Rattling was due to corroded heat shield on catalytic converter. Said only lower shield was removed and replacement not necessary. But they took off top shield too, and my online research showed this shield is important for safety. Follow up to prior trip.
