Radiator hose question
I checked the 3G garage and also searched Acurazine for the answer without success. I'm at 95K miles with my 06 TL. The radiator hoses look fine but since I'm having the 105K service done soon at Hamilton Honda, I was wondering if anyone has changed (or felt a need to change) the radiator hoses since the coolant will be drained for the service. I am planning to get the thermostat changed while the Honda tech is working on the car. I don't want to replace them if they're generally good for quite a while longer but was just looking for some opinions.
Thanks.
Thanks.

yeah you can replace them if you want, the ones on my 94 accord are 21 years old.....and still working just fine

Non moving but the rubber can still age and break.
I've been debating replacing mine soon. They look perfect and it's amazing that Accord went 21 years, it makes me worry less about mine. I wonder if they make silicone hoses for these cars, those would be worth gettting and would be considered a lifetime part.

I found these. Luckily they're offered in black. Looks like they make them for all TLs.

The TL is a relative piece of cake to work on compared to this:
You can see the blue silicone hoses scattered around the engine bay- as I said, I only had one opportunity for this.
