That kills me. :-)
I can't say whether to call this customer silly (for not realizing she has way got her money's worth out of this car) or smart for taking good enough care of the car to make it last this long. I hope you guys just smiled and told her to have a chat with Tom and Ray about her little workhorse Honda.

Love the oil data. But hey, take some credit for yourself for obviously
taking care of your Accord! "zonie" <sjemoomaw@nospam> wrote > I bought my 92 Accord new. At present 314,116 miles. For metric people, > 502,585 km. Original engine and auto trans. Mobil 1 oil every 5000 miles > or 8000 km > |

No, not a regular and also we have "oil change customers" They think we make
money on oil changes. Look at the history and 25 15.99 oil changes and no real service. Sometimes they come in with our recommendations done by "Their Mechanic". Then, why doesn't he do "Your Oil Change?" Take Care -- Stephen W.

geez, and I thought my Honda 94 accord had too much mileage at
136K miles. However, I do a lot of driving in the city, so it probably won't take long before the honda gives up. |
