"Recommended".....

"Worth it" is subjective..

No, but if you turn your car in they might take money from your trade in for not having it done.

-Change the oil
-Change the diff fluid
-Change the intake filter
-Treat the rubber seals (CV boots) with silicone spray

.....the rest is poke this, inspect that, blah blah blah.

Do this stuff yourself, or get a shop to do these specific tasks and save alot.

As far as warranty issues and servicing the car yourself, there is an "owner's link" thru Honda.com that allows you to register and log your servicing of the car by independent mechanics. USe this if you are leary of warranty issues down the road.

yeah, im worry about the warranty stuff. i have a 100 k warranty on my car and i dont want them to tell me down the road that you havent dont your 15 k service and they will void my waranty because of this.

Also, if i install a KN intake in my car and have the Delaer Service it, Does Honda void my factory warranty?

Thanks in advance...

Some dealers will cite your mods as reason to void your warranty.....whether it is justified or not. Though you may be right, it will sometimes lead to a battle.

USe the owner's link for your maintenance tracking, but if you mod the car be prepared. If you are in good with a dealer, you may be able to get away with mods, but that is a rarity.
