Good job man. I have ~30k to hit that mark. The glory of having a 1 mile work commute.

Thanks^
Keep in mind a short commute is known to cause problems. Water (condensate from air intake) and by-products of combustion remain trapped along the way out of the exhaust. And the colder the ambient temp the longer it takes to vaporize that moisture, which causes corrosion that can lead to exhaust leaks. Some of that moisture can transfer into the oil as well, which can cause bearing pitting.

I got to 100k back in September. Almost 112,000 now. Time flies, as do the miles. LOL

Thanks for the heads up. My car is due for a lot of work soon, I should hope don't encountering anything along the way.

I did the power steering flush at the dealership on my RDX at 100K and the steering felt better afterwards.
