What is done in 125k service?

I am going to hit 130k in my 01 CL-S soon.
I have not had my 125k service.
What is done during this service?


Thank you!

What have you done in the past? At 105k you should have:

Timing Belt
Timing Belt Tensioner
Water Pump
Water Pump Seal
Spark Plugs (and inspect spark plug well seals)
Accessory Belt

Might as well do a transmission flush if you haven't had one recently. Good time to flush the brake fluid too. Replace the engine air filter and cabin air filter. Change your blinker fluid and exhaust bearings.

Careful with tranny flush. My trans went out shortly after I had it flushed.

Definitely do the brake line bleed and both air filters. I'd hold off on the blinker fluid cause that should last 200k mi without an issue.

I use NGK Iridiums. I like them thus far.

Blinker fluid was an upgrade in certain 01 type s models If your VIN starts with a "19" then you should have the stuff replaced with the 200k mile service. It's very hard to do and is labor intensive so Acura/Honda will rape you on the labor. That service alone cost me ~~$300 and I opted to not buy new adapters, which woulda added another $75. If you got money like that, than have them do the exhaust bearings like Weez suggested. That's about $200. I opted not to have them do it since mine were still good.

Probably the best service advice I have ever seen on this website, wish I could hit that thankyou button a couple more times

Its a Baaaaad sound. You might check with your local Midas shop. They should have a muffler cut-away that shows the bearings and can explain to you their function and operation.

Lots of good advice in this thread. You just have to know how to separate the good from the BS (Kinda like life). I'm gonna go check my blinker fluid now.
