I replaced mine at 80k when it was 8 years old and the belt still looked perfect.
I did an aftermarket 3 core aluminum civic radiator with electric fan on my '80 gas Dasher. Fabbed 2 brackets that would mount to factory locations in the engine bay.
Only issue I’ve had is having 2 spark plugs blow out. The first time required a replacement head and the second was fixed with a helicoil. Most reliable vehicle I have owned.
Infact last week we got a 2015 oddessy that had non oem glass installed last year (no issues). Now we just replaced tje camera unit and it won't calibrate. We instslled a oem glass and problem solved.
I always go OEM for filters and fluids, brakes. other parts are OK. Cabin air filter I made a mistake and bought on Amazon, it had a weird smell to the filter after letting it run, OEM come packaged in sealed plastic so no manufacturer offgassing. Oil filters I always go OEM. Mainly becahse the last thing you want is a piece of dirt inside a boxed oil filter (no plastic) such as Fram or Purolator. Honda oil filters come wrapped in plastic, inside a box. If you go oem for the oil filter, never stick your finger in the hole to open it, always twist the plastic away, such as stick a screw driver/pin through the top of the filter and peel downwards. At my dealer it's happened where a tech would open it by shoving their finger in the bottom and a tiny tiny piece of plastic would clog one of the oil ports inside the engine block starving the head of oil entirly
The correct coolant is Honda longlife which is blue. Someone has already put \"all vehicle\" green stuff in it, which will keep it cool just fine but not provide as much corrosion protection over the long term. The factory Honda coolant is designed to run for 120,000 miles; this stuff is good for maybe 30-50k before it should be changed.
The brakes were so-so, and it had lots of torque steer, and benefited greatly from an aftermarket and much stiffer rear ARB, which improved its turn in and corner habits tremendously.
my 08 Accord went through rear pads every 18-20K miles. They were way too soft.
my 2015 Fit EX seems to be having the same problem on about the same timeline. Got the starter replaced maybe 4-6 years ago (also, starter replaced on a 3-4 year old car? Sheesh) and just this morning, lots of clicking and dash lights come on but no engine turnover.
Just a word of warning, those accords with the K24 do not like aftermarket starters. We've installed a few aftermarket starters and they come back with long cranks, and the Honda, for some reason, will cause an engine light for the long/slow crank. The aftermarket ones just don't have the same jam as the OE ones.
