I go to every one.........

 

The maintenance schedule should be followed to the letter. Not doing so at the very least will void your warranty.

 

the only thing required during the warranty period is a few oil changes and a valve adjustment.

Everything else, like the failed timing tensioners, wheel bearings and ignition switches come after that when Honda is off the hook.

 

If you get an extended warranty you still need to follow the maintenance schedule for it to be valid.

 

I follow all of the scheduled maintence. However, I do all of it myself. I keep all of the receipt for filters, oil, gaskets, fluids, etc. so if the dealer tries to say I didn't keep up on maintence I can shove them in their face.

Buy a Helm's manual and you can do everything yourself.

 

Even if you do there isn't that much to do with a prelude except an oil change and valve adjustment and tire rotation every now and then so...

 

My lude is a 2001. It has 110k on it now, and I bought it(carmax) in '04 w/ 32k. The only maintenance I've done is regular oil changes(synthetic) and new spark plugs/wires(nology) @ 65k. I have had a dc header, tanabe cat back exhaust, and injen cai installed. 80% of my driving is highway, and I rarely even push my engine to vtec(once a month). I checked all my belts and hoses, and they have no signs off ware. I've been reading alot about maintenance parts(timing belt, valve adjustment, etc.), and I think its time to do the works. I don't want any problems because the only one i've had so far is oil consumption. Can someone give me a list of stuff i might as well do now. I want my lude to last, and i'm willing to spend 1k-1.5k on maintenance pre-cautions that i've neglected to date.
