Tore out most of the interior and trunk. New top going in over the long weekend. Taking a lot of time to clean the interior pieces while they're out. Also found that some mice were stockpiling dog food in the airbox. So I cleaned that out as well. Upstream of the filter fortunately.

Oil change, 5500mi on this 5w-40, and it only ate about 1 quart. Castrol Syntec 10w-40 and OEM filter. Bought a quart of Redline 75w-140 full syn for the diff but didn't have the 23mm and 24mm sockets needed for the drain plugs.

Changed coolant and cleaned idle air control valve while the motor was dry. Honda OEM type 2 coolant. Old coolant looked fine, but it was a pain to bleed. They must give it a 120k service interval so they don't have to provide proper bleed valves. Cleaning iacv increased idle speed slightly and generally smoothed out the idle a bit. Still it's not quite perfect though.

Trans fluid change, Honda MTF. Also added about 1/2 quart of oil. Half quart over 2400 miles is not so bad. 2400 miles in the past 27 days IS bad.

Changed oil just after fill up. Starting with a $16 Honda filter and Mobil1 synthetic, because it is the easiest to get my hands on.
