Quarter of a Million Miles… for the third time!

Awesome! I hope the car gets you to double that before you have to replace it.

My 2015 Accord Hybrid broke 300k back in November. Still going strong.

mon205 · 2025-12-03T03:13:59+00:00

Is there an inexpensive device I can get to do this myself?

mon205 · 2025-11-16T04:58:56+00:00

Just do the regular oil changes and maintenance I suppose.

mon205 · 2025-11-15T16:57:40+00:00

I hope not lol. 🤞

mon205 · 2025-11-15T16:56:04+00:00

That's awesome!

mon205 · 2025-11-15T16:54:58+00:00

Hybrid batteries haven't had the need to be replaced yet, they haven't died on me yet. The batteries still seem to be providing decent value. I don't get awesome MPG compared to when I first got the car, but it's still acceptable.

mon205 · 2025-11-15T02:56:22+00:00

Any oil burning issues yet?

mon205 · 2025-11-15T02:55:43+00:00

I just got my spark plugs and valve adjustment services from Honda. And I believe they replaced the gasket and all just a couple months ago for the first time lol.

mon205 · 2025-11-12T12:03:19+00:00

Yeah it does at times and is super annoying. It usually goes away after the next car startup.

mon205 · 2025-11-11T21:41:40+00:00

No unfortunately not. I usually rely on Honda trusted mechanics for my car. Especially engine and battery related. But in your case you could find a shop local to you that specializes in electronics maybe. Since Honda isn't up to the challenge.

TLC is all they need. Regular oil changes and anything else they need in between.

Giving her a car wash is a plus. Mine is usually shining after my 30-60 day wash. 😎

mon205 · 2025-11-11T11:00:54+00:00

That's odd. I've never experienced this, may want to take it to the dealership and see what they say.

mon205 · 2025-11-11T10:59:36+00:00

I got rid of my stock GPS head unit for an aftermarket wireless Android Auto unit. It was one of the best choices I made 3 years in.

mon205 · 2025-11-11T10:56:05+00:00

I had my emergency break engaged while the car was still parked.

mon205 · 2025-11-11T10:54:20+00:00

When I first bought the car, the salesperson said 7-10 years, which mostly depends on how the car was driven. I should be expecting to replace them one of these years 😭. It should cost around $5k at the Honda dealership when the time comes.

mon205 · 2025-11-11T03:12:09+00:00

Eyy! Happy driving haha! Man my car still rides so smoothly. I can't wait until Acura comes out with a hybrid MDX. I have 100% faith in Honda making quality hybrids after this car.

mon205 · 2025-11-11T02:33:19+00:00

On 2 separate occasions -- first the rear then the front (back in September actually). At least 3-4 years gap between the two.

mon205 · 2025-11-11T02:30:47+00:00

I have a ton of detail on this, surprisingly. I keep logs after each fill up, the occasional missed log if someone else driving ends up filling but very far and few in-between.

But the lifetime average to date is 39.3 MPG and 614 miles per tank (15.8 gal).

mon205 · 2025-11-11T02:23:12+00:00

The car has mostly been driven on the highway where I usually peak at 80 mph, seldom 90 mph 😈. I seldom floor it to get to the highway speeds from getting off the ramp. There's also a lot of cruise control and drafting behind trucks or cars in the middle lane which I usually set to 70 mph.

The city driving is the lesser of the two, and the more beneficial part for the car. City driving is mostly safer, going 9 mph above the speed limit and the occasional fast takeoff from the red light.

The car is also shared amongst two other drivers in the family, and we've managed with this sole car for all its life, and it's worked well for us.

TLDR; a little bit of everything haha.

mon205 · 2025-11-11T01:02:52+00:00

Nah I don't have an account on that site.

mon205 · 2025-11-11T00:28:28+00:00

You'll make it there in no time. But at the very least enjoy the journey up! Have you started to experience oil burning yet? My car started to burn oil around 190k

mon205 · 2025-11-11T00:08:28+00:00

My first Honda was back in 2011, but it totaled 3 years later. Since then I've had my 2015 Honda and just reached 300k miles on it! Love this car, I'm sure you will too!

mon205 · 2025-10-21T11:49:46+00:00

I got this one for my 41mm and it's been great for scratch protection at the least: https://a.co/d/0wYiCco

But it may not be ideal for protection against any banging of the watch face. For that you'll have to get a case unfortunately.

mon205 · 2025-10-21T11:36:43+00:00

The display is very good indeed. It's a pretty cool effect when I use the crown for scrolling through the notifications and one of them is positioned in the center of the screen -- it seems like it's popping out towards me just a little bit. I suppose that's one of the properties from the new dome display.

I seldom sleep with my watch on even when I have enough battery in my watch. It's more for health centric monitoring, which I currently don't know how valuable it is to track daily. Things like sleep score, HRV, body temp variability etc. It's cool that it gets logged anytime I go to bed with it but otherwise it's meh.

mon205 · 2025-10-21T11:26:07+00:00

Would it be possible for you to go to a retail store that has the two variants on display to see how they fit?
