It felt like the engine was openning up a little.

Or in mansauce's case 85,000 miles

Havn't noticed much of a difference. I do notice that the car is so much more respinsive in cooler weather though. April nights have been fun.

Most notably was the difference after the first oil change. I broke my engine in nicely.

Not sure if I noticed a "performance" change, but fuel economy improved dramatically. When I first had the TSX, was getting maybe 22 MPG? Now getting closer to 25... and NOT just because I was lead-footing it when I first got the car either....

I actually got over 30 mpg on my last fill-up. Mostly highway driving. That's slightly better than I was getting last summer when the car was new.

I haven't noticed any notable changes in performance in my car (I'm at 12.5k miles). It has run smoothly since the first day I got it.
