so contact that guy and just tell him that you are interested and that you have to wait on insurance to know if they total your car or not, he might keep it just for you

The Accord uses 85. It does not require 91, but I "Have" to put 91 in mines. The Accord's compression ratio is 10.0:1. Don't know what you J32A2 compression ratio is. Also James, do not put Mobil 1 full synthetic. It burns to fast and will burn the cross hatches on the cylinder walls. You can use Mobil 5000, but do not get full synthetic. If you go with full synthetic, oil pressure drops by a good bit.

The Accord has very little maitenance. T-belt is due at 105k as well as the plugs. Regular maitenance is all you really need.

Honda oil filter with Mobile 5000 5w30.

Cannot do tranny flushes on the 7th Gen and newer Hondas. Only a drain and fill.

Also, the V6 6-speed has a 2nd or 3rd gear grind. There is a TSB out on it to get that fix. When you do change your MT fluid, you can use GM Snycomesh. They say it helps out that 2nd/3rd gear grind if Honda won't fix it.
