If you have a 3G, there's no 30K service unless your dealer is using mileage instead of the MID. Check you owner's manual, should be A/B 12345.

A:
Change Engine Oil
B:
Change Engine Oil & filter
Check front and rear brake wear
Check Parking brake adjustment
Inspect the following items:
-Tie rod end, steering gear box and boots
-Suspension component
-Brake hoses and lines (includes ABS)
-All fluid levels and condition of fluids
-Exhaust system
-Fuel lines and connections
1: Tire rotation
2: Replace air filter element, dust and pollen filter
3: Replace transmission fluid
4: Replace spark plugs and timing belt, check valve clearance, inspect water pump
5: Replace engine coolant

You'll see A1 or A2 or B1 or B2, etc. on your MID when service becomes necessary. You'll also receive messages like "SERVICE DUE SOON" when oil life is at 15%, "SERVICE DUE NOW" at less than 5%, and "SERVICE PAST DUE" at 0% oil life.

FWIW, my 05 just hit 30K and the corresponding MID service was "A12". This is just an oil change, rotation, and changing the cabin and engine air filters.

For this (and other A services) I take mine to a local Honda dealer who does those two things plus a wash and vacuum for $50 out the door. And yes, they change the oil filter too.

I have a K&N air filter so I cleaned it this week. I changed the cabin filter myself per instructions on this site in less than 5 minutes. I bought the cheapest ($8) filters from rock auto and they are exactly the same as oem.

Same here, got the A12 service (oil & filter change, tire rotation, etc) done yesterday at the dealership - brought my own oil and filter ..... cost $36 and change. No wash for me, just vacuum interior. Will change the dust/pollen filter (ATP HA5 from Rock Auto) and clean the K&N this weekend.

The owners manual was stolen out of the vehicle, anyone know where I can order a new complete one?
