502,585 km. Original engine and auto trans. Mobil 1 oil every 5000 miles
or 8000 km

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!

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

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.
