Reaching 82,600, what to expect/prepare for
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to chime in and ask a few questions. My 07 base just hit 133,000kms (roughly 82,600 miles) today and I was just wondering what I can prepare myself for in regards to upcoming maintenance.
I know that the big 105k service is coming up, however, I have heard of members doing it before that mark just as a preventative measure. My question is, is there any notification from the car, when the 105k service is due?
Also, I have read up on the pressure switches. I experience the delay when going from park to drive, and drive to reverse, where the car will take a couple seconds and then it feels like it finally got into gear. (makes a bit of noise while doing this too). My question is, by changing the pressure switches, can this be fixed/made better?
Also, if there is any other maintenance that could be coming up shortly, please let me know. I have no complaints about the car since buying it, it is my daily driver, and the majority of my driving is done on the highway.
On a side note, I average 700km/tank, believe dat! My average is 6-7L/100km on the hwy, absolutely amazing on gas

82,600 mi is nothing...no need to do the timing belt early unless you know of a garage that's running a special, otherwise wait til 105K (or the MID '4' indicator). Do the spark plugs at that time as well. Otherwise, nothing else is needed.
As for the pressure switches curing a delay in gear changes when stopped, it probably won't have any effect. Is the fluid fresh and is there enough fluid in there?

As for mileage, on mostly highway I do around 600km a tank. I can believe you stretch it to 700km if you do highway alone.

The transmission delay symptom you mentioned sounds like what I had experienced. I ended up getting a new Transmission with my 06 and it happened at around 95k miles.

The only thing I would check for at your mileage is possibly the radiator. I had a Honda Pilot that suffered from a corroded ATF cooler nipple on the radiator and it caused a major problem- fortunately in my driveway and not on the highway. This is a common issue with Pilots and Odysseys around 80k miles.
I thought the TL was in the clear, but I have heard on this forum of others that have suffered from this same malady with their TL's. The radiator is a very real issue that deserves attention. I would have a mechanic inspect the radiator nipple welds at the very least.

^this got me thinking about my car @ 73K. I popped up the hood and see I have a radiator cap with a slight leak- see the dried remnants of radiator fluid near the cap. 9 years for a cap seems pretty good- I had a VW in my past that I had to change caps every 1-2 years.
