clrumivier4life is an unknown quantity at this point
30k check up

So I'm due...(a little overdue!) and I really don't want to pay them money to do all this stuff. I can do almost all of it such as top of fluids , air cabin filters, etc. I'd rather have them change my oil and check out my brakes since it's 20 degrees out and I don't have a warm garage to go to. Can I just do everything I feel like doing and just pay for them to do the stuff i'd rather not do?

jerseydetailer has a little shameless behaviour in the past
yeah according to the manual at 30k miles its the following

1) replace engine oil
2) rotate tires
3) inspect and adjust drivebelt
4) replace dust/pollen filter
5) replace air cleaner element(aka engine filter)

#2, #4, #5 i recommend you do...that will add probaly at least $150 for parts...if you do it yourself the filters will be under $50 if you go to napa and get their gold series...good stuff....i would also recommend changing your spark plugs..let honda do you oil and thats it....i mean your car is almost out of warranty..they knowing this might try and rape you..i would do the oil myself cuz its not that hard but dont get your oil changed if you have done it within the last 3k miles
