Hope he got a manual. Those early CVT Civics weren't the greatest. The 2013 was the last year of the 5 spd automatic. I would have just kept driving that if the thing is fine I'm not sure why he wouldn't want to take it even further.
All he did was trade in a good running paid off 🚗 for a another car payment and someone at the dealership bought it for pennies and driving it right now.
Why do you assume he will have a car payment buying a used car? Obviously this guy probably knows what he is doing and will pay cash for his used vehicle. He seems like the type of car that will pay cash for a car, then well litterally drive it 500,000 then rinse and repeat.

I just bought a 2013 Honda Civic LX back in October of 2020 that had 159000 miles on it and I've only put about 1500 on it so far myself and seen this video tells me I made the right choice buying this car so I know it will last me for many years to come.
Yep......bought my 2012 lx coupe in 2014, with 40k on it. Here it is 2023, just getting ready to turn over 200k. Precisely zero problems, I'll never give it up.
He uses it for business that engine is trashed and he knows it. At least it's working and he can get some money out of it for a newer one with low miles. I wonder if he ever considered a different profession instead of sitting in a Civic for 5 hours a day.
@@markm0000 It might still be going strong after 500k, Honda makes great engines, if it's an automatic it might be getting long in the tooth for a honda. Honestly, he probably likes his profession. Lots of people love to drive. Also what's wrong with sitting in a Civic for 5 hours a day? It's cheap to run and operate, the seats are comfortable, probably has cruise control, has a stereo. What else would he need? Lots of people would make the argument that it's not fancy enough, but I don't think he cares. Seems like a humble man, good for him! Hopefully he gets another 500k out of his next Civic.
@@markm0000 How are you assuming his profession? You have no idea what work he does, he said he likes to travel across different states, that could either mean he's retired and having fun, or travelling for work. Regardless he looks like he has a fun job, if he is getting to travel across the country all the time. Also he looks over 50, maybe 60-65 so he could be retired.
I promise you guys the new civics with turbos will not be as reliable as this 9th gen Civic. I'm sure this guy did his homework on the 10th gens reliability and simply opted for another 9th gen.
The R18 engine is bullet proof. He will notice a difference between the last model yr of 9th Gen to what he had. Smoother ride and tranny as this was also revised.
wow...I have the same 2013 Honda civic EX model (Metallic gray), having 252600 km on it and it is still going like champ. After watching this I am confident that mine will also go some more km. Replaced rear wheel bearing other than that routine maintenance..
I have 288,000 on my 2013. I change the oil when the light comes on which is always at least 10,000 miles. Other than that, just tires and brakes. The car has been incredible.
That's not true.. I got 2007 honda civicEX, it was 53,000 miles, the engine block got crack..., m.carcomplaints.com/Honda/Civic/2007/engine/....... I have to strangle to fight with honda to fix it...
Obviously they had too, the car is in mint condition body wise. And he would not accept 100-200. First of all when you scrap a car you get from 100-300 so he would not accept that 100.
I'm so torn. Thinking of getting a '24 Corolla but I've only had Honda's. Currently driving a 2012 Civic with 195k miles on it. It's kind of hard for me to justify getting a new car because this one has been so damn reliable. Just had to get some suspension work done but I honestly blame that on the NY roads being so bad. Got some sensors replaced and that's it. It runs and runs.
Got a 99 CIVIC for 1500$ it had 230 k miles when i got it ..now after 65k miles. 295k and runs great did not spend anything on maintenance except for tires and brakes. Best car ever!!
I have a 2012 Civic Si that I bought in 2014 with 5,800 miles on it. It has roughly 89,000 on right now. Only reason it has that many is because I had to drive about 90 miles each day to and from work for about 2 years. Other wise it'd only have about 40,000 on it. Car still runs like the day I bought it. Well, other than a throw out bearing that squeals when I first take off from 1st gear. I've only ever replaced the battery and the only reason I replaced that one was because the old one defective.
I thought my CRV miles was high - 186K miles! haha. Mine is 2002, 2L Petrol, Auto. Original engine and tranny.. but I do, Know!- Honda goes on forever if u really maintain these cars. Great true ownership experience video (Y)..
I bought my civic 2012 brand new. Now it has only 106k kms and my only complaint is the air blower being too loud. Overall, i'm happy with it and after watching this video, i decided to keep mine for few more years rather than trading it in.
Honda proved it could be done in the 1990's. Others could do it as well. Now ? Everyone damn near can, if not, can. That's why when I bought a used '12 FIAT 500 with 124k miles on the clock, it didn't bother me. Cast iron block, even better (other than weight penalty). I read a study where FIAT dynoed & then tore down a 200,000 kilometer engine & found it actually did better in all areas than new. So it's the same with any manufacturer these days when it comes to the basics. Of course, the more complex the engine (turbos, VVT, etc., etc.), the more things that can break.
Our 2015 civic ex-l is my wife’s 5th one but we had a 2013 we bought new and traded it in on this one new, so it’s my second Civic and it just turned 90k on the odometer and we’ve not had to do anything other than oil changes. It’s a great running car, now I must add that I’ve spent 24 years in the car business selling used cars and I’ve seen just as many shitty Honda’s as any other brand. Most of the initial quality of any of these vehicles is luck of the draw, and after that it’s if you can afford to maintain your particular one.
You go Pat! My 2013 only has 77,000 miles. Body is in great condition. Oil changes every 5000 miles. I only drive around 8000 miles a year on average. City driving though. Zero mechanical problems, knock wood. She gets washed once a month. I am lazy, so I have been using the spray on ceramic hybrid wax. Seems to do a good job beading up water. It lasts around 5 months before I have to reapply. Unfortunately I don't have a garage, but it is kept in a parking lot. I am just hoping to get to 200,000 but I don't drive enough to get that mileage.
@@stevec5465 You shouldn't have anything to worry about as well as you are taking care of it. Who knows, in a few years I might reach out to see if you're willing to sell it! haha.
I have a 2014 Honda Civic bought new with only 7 miles at the end of 2013 I love it only have had normal maintenance done to it never had any problems now It has 66,230 miles and I hope to see it roll over 100,000 this was the first Honda I ever bought and I love it.
My 2018 Civic EX-T (bought new) currently has 90,150 miles. I maintain it religiously with early oil/filter intervals between 3,800-4,200 miles (0W-20 full synthetic and OEM filter). Transmission fluid changed twice, coolant flushed, spark plugs replaced, engine air filter replaced every 10,000 miles, fuel injectors cleaned, and I replaced the battery. It’s been trouble-free to date. I plan on keeping it for the duration of its life...hopefully over 300,000 miles. My only concern is the longevity of the turbo and the CVT so I don’t drive hard...ever. Never redlined. Heck. I never exceeded 4,000 rpm and drive about 60% highway. Getting an average of 33.2 mpg using only Shell premium 92 Octane for the maximum detergent.
2012 Accord Coupe V6 49K.....I’m 50 it will be the last car I ever buy....bought in 2014 from Carmax 20K mint condition, 50K service was done and only needed 8oz’s of refrigerant, oil change, fluids topped off $131.00 Cliffords Auto Repair Humble,Texas
I have a Honda Civic 2009 i-shift. 62000 miles.I jad to change the clutch since the previous owner probably didn't know how to drive it properly. Apart from that, no problems.
I have the same exact car. Same color and everything. I bought my 2013 Honda Civic from some crummy used car dealership in 2017. It had 78K miles since purchase and quickly became my daily driver. When the pandemic happened, I lost my job and started traveling a lot. Driving back and forth from Albuquerque to Phoenix constantly and a handful of times up to Colorado and a couple times to Vegas and San Diego. This thing has been a beast and couldn't be more happier with my purchase! I finally paid off the vehicle this past month and after watching this video, I have hope that I can enjoy my Honda civic for another 100k miles!
I've replaced struts, radiator, entire air conditioning assembly, ball joints, water pump&timing belt 3 times. Uses 1/2 qt oil every 5k. Runs and drives like new. Clear coat on paint finally flaking is all. Love it.
in terms of wear and tear tho, highway miles/kilometers wear your car only about 10% as much compared to stop and go city driving. i have a high mileage city honda civic 07 lx bodys a little rough but works like a charm with 170000 km. so that 500000 mile civic is a 50000 mile car.
Mustve been a ton of freeway miles. Id imagine salt wouldve ate away on the suspension components so perhaps he didnt drive too much in the northern states during winter.
I have a 2013 Honda Civic EX. I'm currently at 95,000 miles. Only thing I've had to replace this far is brakes, rotors, and interesting enough just like the guy in this video the front right wheel bearing. I've been meticulous with the oil changes and tranny oil servicing. I also replace the inline tranny filter also (even though I can find no recommendation for its interval. It's relatively cheap to replace when I change my tranny fluid every 30,000. I've also replaced the struts by the way. One on the front right was leaking oil. So I did both front struts. I'm going to do the rears here soon as well. At 100,000 I'm replacing all fluids in the car, doing plugs, and getting valve adjustment done. I drive a ton of miles and hope to get a lot of miles out of this car. I really hope to see over 300,000. I drive uber with this car. One complaint I do have with Hondas of these years is the very thin paint they use. It is peeling behind the roof where it meets the top of the rear window glass in that seam area. I have to keep touching it up. Also some other areas where the paint is wanting to flake. I keep the car washed and waxed so I don't understand why this is happening outside the fact the paint is thin or there is bad primer underneath. I've noticed the paint chips really easy on my Honda. That's one of my biggest complaints so far. I notice a lot of Hondas (I don't know about the newer ones over the last few years) that have this issue with paint problems from chipping, peeling, and flaking.
Ha ha ha ha, better than gm, ford, or really any American brand car. That’s the power of foreign technology, they don’t apply things like planned obsolescence into their vehicles. I do like Ford but their not as good.
I have a 13 civic ex with the last year of the conventional automatic. I have 145,000 on mine now. I've had to replace the belt tensioner twice now. The original oem one failed, the 2nd oem one failed, and this time I threw in the towel a got an aftermarket one. I just replaced the struts, sway bar links, control arms with ball joints, outer tie rod ends, and I replaced the water pump and accessory belt at 107,000 miles. I've been religious on the oil, coolant, brake, and tranny fluids. I've also replaced the plugs. She runs very very well still and (some) of the parts I replaced weren't necessarily because they were bad but to be preventative. I want to get the valve lash adjusted soon, do fuel pump, and want to get the ac serviced. I'll probably have the timing chain and sprockets replaced around 200,000. I'm shooting for 300 to 400,000 out of it even if I have to have the tranny rebuilt or replaced at and point.
Just a friendly warning on the plugs...they can sieze if in too long or for too many miles. Mine were changed from originals in a 2020 Lexus rx 300 at 210000 and 20 years old. Was running great and luckily they were not a problem. The gaps were massive from wear by the way...which makes the system work harder to keep it running. It's worth it.
That's crazy I have 100,000 miles on my 2013 Honda Civic and I'm thinking about trading it in, f*** that I'm keeping it😁
Same lol I've got an Si. Clutch is slipping a bit but that's not worth selling the car

@@markm0000 It might still be going strong after 500k, Honda makes great engines, if it's an automatic it might be getting long in the tooth for a honda. Honestly, he probably likes his profession. Lots of people love to drive. Also what's wrong with sitting in a Civic for 5 hours a day? It's cheap to run and operate, the seats are comfortable, probably has cruise control, has a stereo. What else would he need? Lots of people would make the argument that it's not fancy enough, but I don't think he cares. Seems like a humble man, good for him! Hopefully he gets another 500k out of his next Civic.
dongle trump Honda’s are pretty good as long as you get maintenance work done.
@@markm0000 How are you assuming his profession? You have no idea what work he does, he said he likes to travel across different states, that could either mean he's retired and having fun, or travelling for work. Regardless he looks like he has a fun job, if he is getting to travel across the country all the time. Also he looks over 50, maybe 60-65 so he could be retired.
I have an 8th Gen Civic Coupe and it’s been pretty great to me so far. The 9th gen is awesome, the last reliable Civic honda ever made.
Japanese cars last forever
I promise you guys the new civics with turbos will not be as reliable as this 9th gen Civic. I'm sure this guy did his homework on the 10th gens reliability and simply opted for another 9th gen.
The R18 engine is bullet proof. He will notice a difference between the last model yr of 9th Gen to what he had. Smoother ride and tranny as this was also revised.
You cant promise that fyi!
The new 1.5 liter on the Civic hatchback already having oil dilution problems specially the CR-V and some accords
According to the website, they also sell one with the 2.0L (normally aspirated). Just make darn sure to get that one!
@@GeneralSirDouglasMcA that's the one I got :) let's just hope the damn CVT proves to be reliable unlike Nissan
wow...I have the same 2013 Honda civic EX model (Metallic gray), having 252600 km on it and it is still going like champ. After watching this I am confident that mine will also go some more km. Replaced rear wheel bearing other than that routine maintenance..
Seems like it's common for the wheel bearings to wear with age.
Now try that with any european or GM car
I have 288,000 on my 2013. I change the oil when the light comes on which is always at least 10,000 miles. Other than that, just tires and brakes. The car has been incredible.
I have 64,000 miles on my 2012 civic lx.its now 01/21/19
My 2008 Honda civic LX has 127600 miles...
That's not true.. I got 2007 honda civicEX, it was 53,000 miles, the engine block got crack..., m.carcomplaints.com/Honda/Civic/2007/engine/....... I have to strangle to fight with honda to fix it...
160000 miles on my 2013 Honda Civic the only thing I've replaced as brakes
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Hey. Where did you replace the breaks and approximate how much it cost you? Did you also replace rotors ?
have you changed the belt and the tensioner? one year later update
120,000 miles per year? Holy moly. Did you give him more than $100?
Obviously they had too, the car is in mint condition body wise. And he would not accept 100-200. First of all when you scrap a car you get from 100-300 so he would not accept that 100.
Thunder Thighs no doubt ! I’d buy that car for $2,000 still. Shell is mint, easy $600 engine swap when it dies and you have a pretty good car
My civic 2014 has 137k do you think I should keep it?
Yeah Honda is built different very reliable and dependable and cheap matinence
This is amazing I have 2013 Honda Civic EX I only got just over 40000 thousand miles and I intend keep mine for many more years to come! GOOOOO Honda!
I'm so torn. Thinking of getting a '24 Corolla but I've only had Honda's. Currently driving a 2012 Civic with 195k miles on it. It's kind of hard for me to justify getting a new car because this one has been so damn reliable. Just had to get some suspension work done but I honestly blame that on the NY roads being so bad. Got some sensors replaced and that's it. It runs and runs.
Got a 99 CIVIC for 1500$ it had 230 k miles when i got it ..now after 65k miles. 295k and runs great did not spend anything on maintenance except for tires and brakes. Best car ever!!
That's impressive I have a 99 Civic EX Coupe have 150,433 miles I have a lot of catching up to do.
7th gen accord and I just hit 264000 miles still solid!
Lol, that's awesome!
My 2014 has 114,887 and I hope it gets to 300k np
I have a 2012 Civic Si that I bought in 2014 with 5,800 miles on it. It has roughly 89,000 on right now. Only reason it has that many is because I had to drive about 90 miles each day to and from work for about 2 years. Other wise it'd only have about 40,000 on it. Car still runs like the day I bought it. Well, other than a throw out bearing that squeals when I first take off from 1st gear. I've only ever replaced the battery and the only reason I replaced that one was because the old one defective.
I have a 2000 civic with 200000 miles on it and I love the way it drives, no signs of stopping anytime soon
he traded in a for a CVT. doubt he will get another 500,000 miles
So your just not going to show the engine…
I thought my CRV miles was high - 186K miles! haha. Mine is 2002, 2L Petrol, Auto. Original engine and tranny.. but I do, Know!- Honda goes on forever if u really maintain these cars. Great true ownership experience video (Y)..
I bought my civic 2012 brand new. Now it has only 106k kms and my only complaint is the air blower being too loud. Overall, i'm happy with it and after watching this video, i decided to keep mine for few more years rather than trading it in.
That's awesome to hear!
Honda proved it could be done in the 1990's. Others could do it as well. Now ? Everyone damn near can, if not, can. That's why when I bought a used '12 FIAT 500 with 124k miles on the clock, it didn't bother me. Cast iron block, even better (other than weight penalty). I read a study where FIAT dynoed & then tore down a 200,000 kilometer engine & found it actually did better in all areas than new. So it's the same with any manufacturer these days when it comes to the basics. Of course, the more complex the engine (turbos, VVT, etc., etc.), the more things that can break.
I'll never ever buy another turbo car. Ever!!!
Our 2015 civic ex-l is my wife’s 5th one but we had a 2013 we bought new and traded it in on this one new, so it’s my second Civic and it just turned 90k on the odometer and we’ve not had to do anything other than oil changes. It’s a great running car, now I must add that I’ve spent 24 years in the car business selling used cars and I’ve seen just as many shitty Honda’s as any other brand. Most of the initial quality of any of these vehicles is luck of the draw, and after that it’s if you can afford to maintain your particular one.
I guess with 1.8 ivtec engine
It would be nice to buy this car for $1000 and put another 500,000 miles on it and then sell it for $500
I have same car with 120000
I have a 2013 Civic on the way and I’m so thankful I made this choice !
I am just nearing 100,000 in my 2015 civic
How many miles do you drive a year?
I have the 2015 Honda Civic 1.8 CVT transmission no trouble it has 148,000 MI
My 2013 civic will hit 500k in about a year. This gives me hope I’ll make it.
You go Pat!
My 2013 only has 77,000 miles. Body is in great condition. Oil changes every 5000 miles. I only drive around 8000 miles a year on average. City driving though. Zero mechanical problems, knock wood. She gets washed once a month. I am lazy, so I have been using the spray on ceramic hybrid wax. Seems to do a good job beading up water. It lasts around 5 months before I have to reapply. Unfortunately I don't have a garage, but it is kept in a parking lot. I am just hoping to get to 200,000 but I don't drive enough to get that mileage.
@@stevec5465 You shouldn't have anything to worry about as well as you are taking care of it. Who knows, in a few years I might reach out to see if you're willing to sell it! haha.
I have a 2014 Honda Civic bought new with only 7 miles at the end of 2013 I love it only have had normal maintenance done to it never had any problems now It has 66,230 miles and I hope to see it roll over 100,000 this was the first Honda I ever bought and I love it.
My 2018 Civic EX-T (bought new) currently has 90,150 miles. I maintain it religiously with early oil/filter intervals between 3,800-4,200 miles (0W-20 full synthetic and OEM filter). Transmission fluid changed twice, coolant flushed, spark plugs replaced, engine air filter replaced every 10,000 miles, fuel injectors cleaned, and I replaced the battery. It’s been trouble-free to date. I plan on keeping it for the duration of its life...hopefully over 300,000 miles.
My only concern is the longevity of the turbo and the CVT so I don’t drive hard...ever. Never redlined. Heck. I never exceeded 4,000 rpm and drive about 60% highway. Getting an average of 33.2 mpg using only Shell premium 92 Octane for the maximum detergent.
2012 Civic Si here. Just closed in on 200,000 miles. Still vtec'n strong.
2012 Accord Coupe V6 49K.....I’m 50 it will be the last car I ever buy....bought in 2014 from Carmax 20K mint condition, 50K service was done and only needed 8oz’s of refrigerant, oil change, fluids topped off $131.00 Cliffords Auto Repair Humble,Texas
This making me feel good I have 200k
I have a 2007 Honda Civic with 549100 miles on it.
Its manual gear or automatic?
I have 150k on my 2010 Civic Ex Sedan
I have a Honda Civic 2009 i-shift. 62000 miles.I jad to change the clutch since the previous owner probably didn't know how to drive it properly. Apart from that, no problems.
I have a 2018 Honda HRV with 112,000 on it. Going strong, besides basic maintenance oil changes, tires, battery etc.
I have the same exact car. Same color and everything. I bought my 2013 Honda Civic from some crummy used car dealership in 2017. It had 78K miles since purchase and quickly became my daily driver. When the pandemic happened, I lost my job and started traveling a lot. Driving back and forth from Albuquerque to Phoenix constantly and a handful of times up to Colorado and a couple times to Vegas and San Diego. This thing has been a beast and couldn't be more happier with my purchase! I finally paid off the vehicle this past month and after watching this video, I have hope that I can enjoy my Honda civic for another 100k miles!
please dont sell it u will regret it for ever lol
New cars today are junk hold on to her
Wow, that's a lot of miles on a Civic, so it makes me want to keep my 98 Civic that has just under 137,500 miles on it and see how long it'll last me.
My 98 civic LX with auto trans is running perfect with 330,000. Miles....luv it. 38 mpg. Burns 1/2 qt oil every 5,000. Miles.
@@randyott2413 Wow, that's a lot of miles. It shows that you take care of your car to have that many miles on it and still be driving it.
I've replaced struts, radiator, entire air conditioning assembly, ball joints, water pump&timing belt 3 times. Uses 1/2 qt oil every 5k. Runs and drives like new. Clear coat on paint finally flaking is all. Love it.
Agreed. My 2008 Honda civic has 287k miles and no signs of breaking anytime soon
greg harry nice! My 06 just about to hit 250,000! Your r18 been treating you well?
My mom just bought me a 2007 Honda Civic for my 18th bday and it only has 130,000 miles on it
random tv 1 yes! Great cars
random tv 1 up to you! My 2006 Civic has 410,000kms now haha
I have 2008 Honda Civic as well!
This made me wanna keep my 2018 honda accord sport now I drive 42 grand a year miles wise ^#^
I'm about to buy a 2009 honda civic ex, but it already has 171,990 miles on it, should I still get it?
If it runs good still and have good inspection done. Also see if you can find any maintenance logs..... Oil and tranny oil changes is key........!
in terms of wear and tear tho, highway miles/kilometers wear your car only about 10% as much compared to stop and go city driving. i have a high mileage city honda civic 07 lx bodys a little rough but works like a charm with 170000 km. so that 500000 mile civic is a 50000 mile car.
I Have A 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0 With 425k Miles. ❤ Speechless
My 2014 honda civic is at 235k but someone hit it while it was parked :(
Im getting it fixed
Mustve been a ton of freeway miles. Id imagine salt wouldve ate away on the suspension components so perhaps he didnt drive too much in the northern states during winter.
Car was only 4 years old when this video was made.
Honda and Toyota for life.
I have a 2013 Honda Civic EX. I'm currently at 95,000 miles. Only thing I've had to replace this far is brakes, rotors, and interesting enough just like the guy in this video the front right wheel bearing. I've been meticulous with the oil changes and tranny oil servicing. I also replace the inline tranny filter also (even though I can find no recommendation for its interval. It's relatively cheap to replace when I change my tranny fluid every 30,000. I've also replaced the struts by the way. One on the front right was leaking oil. So I did both front struts. I'm going to do the rears here soon as well. At 100,000 I'm replacing all fluids in the car, doing plugs, and getting valve adjustment done. I drive a ton of miles and hope to get a lot of miles out of this car. I really hope to see over 300,000. I drive uber with this car. One complaint I do have with Hondas of these years is the very thin paint they use. It is peeling behind the roof where it meets the top of the rear window glass in that seam area. I have to keep touching it up. Also some other areas where the paint is wanting to flake. I keep the car washed and waxed so I don't understand why this is happening outside the fact the paint is thin or there is bad primer underneath. I've noticed the paint chips really easy on my Honda. That's one of my biggest complaints so far. I notice a lot of Hondas (I don't know about the newer ones over the last few years) that have this issue with paint problems from chipping, peeling, and flaking.
I have the same car. 2013 civic ex. Mine just hit 312000 this week. Still drive it 140 miles a day 5 days aweek to work and everywhere else in between
Ha ha ha ha, better than gm, ford, or really any American brand car. That’s the power of foreign technology, they don’t apply things like planned obsolescence into their vehicles. I do like Ford but their not as good.
Honda’s and Toyota are the most reliable
I want an update on how his new shitty cvt held up. 😂
I have a 13 civic ex with the last year of the conventional automatic. I have 145,000 on mine now. I've had to replace the belt tensioner twice now. The original oem one failed, the 2nd oem one failed, and this time I threw in the towel a got an aftermarket one. I just replaced the struts, sway bar links, control arms with ball joints, outer tie rod ends, and I replaced the water pump and accessory belt at 107,000 miles. I've been religious on the oil, coolant, brake, and tranny fluids. I've also replaced the plugs. She runs very very well still and (some) of the parts I replaced weren't necessarily because they were bad but to be preventative. I want to get the valve lash adjusted soon, do fuel pump, and want to get the ac serviced. I'll probably have the timing chain and sprockets replaced around 200,000. I'm shooting for 300 to 400,000 out of it even if I have to have the tranny rebuilt or replaced at and point.
That is amazing 👏 not surprised, but guess what he not gonna get to that many miles on a newer one, they don't make them the same but good luck
This guy is a gem
Impressive. On # 12 Honda since 1995. Great brand and very reliable.
I got a 2014 honda pilot with 180,571 miles still has its original sparkplugs from factory did all other regular maintenance
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing, John!
I think it’s time for a spark plug change
Just a friendly warning on the plugs...they can sieze if in too long or for too many miles. Mine were changed from originals in a 2020 Lexus rx 300 at 210000 and 20 years old. Was running great and luckily they were not a problem. The gaps were massive from wear by the way...which makes the system work harder to keep it running. It's worth it.
