And I have an `86 Accord auto with 320,000 klms on it (200,000 miles) .Never touched the engine or tranny and only one tie rod end in the front end. I ,too, change my oil and filter every 4000 klms (2400) miles and I use a diesel rated oil.I have no leaks and it uses about 1/2 cup of oil between changes and mostly highway highspeed driving. It still cruises at 100mph + when I want it too.Where legal. Ed.Ontario.Canada
