Washed, waxed and did a detailed wheel cleaning..........

 

[Freddiii]

Washed, waxed the front end, cleaned interior n shined it up. Will finish waxing the rest tomorrow, that wax takes time I've never used wax like this before the kit has 3 steps. Came out shiny tho

 

[silver04v]

Pulled the front plate, used a soldering iron to melt the hole shut from the screw and used touch up paint to cover it. Came out decent.

I did my 1k mile oil change today, and did this too...

It's bright for sure, I haven't decided if I like it yet or not.

 

[squiggy]

1k? Is that a typo?

 

[Dar-Dar]

Some do it at 1k to quickly get rid of the metal flakes during the break in period.

I'm glad I did, it was black as night, looked like a 6k oil change

 

[greene907]

i thought you were supposed to go to like 4-5k

i thought you were supposed to go to like 4-5k

There's old school, change after 100 miles, or 1000, etc., which is a good policy, but Honda and a few others have been putting in their mix of oil to help with the running in on a new engine, this is the new school, to wait, also 5000 mile changes are new as well, which has changed due to the newer oils, and the better the engine parts that are now being made and assembled.

The short story is the filter will probably take care of the engine in either case, so no worries which ever way you've done it.
Good filters are the key.... ask Google for a "car oil filter review"...... I like mobile-1, or Honda filter....... but read some reviews.
There are as many different opinions as there are filters.
