Brake Pad suggestions for 09 CRV?
Heading in for a B1 service on our CRV, 4wd middle modle. Has 74000 Km, bout 45 000 mi. The service guy said that part of the recommended service is to take apart the breaks and lube em to make sure all parts move freely. Hmmmmmm, so I'm thinking they'll probably say I need break pads as well. I'd like to pick up a set (F&R) and when they give me the news, tell them the pads are in the back seat. Any suggestions or shall I just go OEM? I'm in Canada btw.
Thanks in advance.

If you a conservative driver... you should not need pads that early.
They will inspect the pads and I assume clean the slides.
I'm planning on going about 3.5 years on my 2010 Civic and do brake fluid change and pads at the same time. I should be at about 65-70k miles.

Well I was surprised, they noted what was left on the pads (4.5 mm F and 6.5 mm R) and made no attempt to upsell. They said they recommend replacement at 2 mm. Went out and bought a lottery ticket as it was obviously my lucky day.
Thanks for your thoughts CraigW.
