Looking to take a drive out west to Santa Fe in mid-December. Part of why I bought this beauty was to take some road trips and make getting out, into the world a little more interesting. I need to put Pilot Sport A/S tires on, any other recommendations / warnings / advice y’all would care to share?
How long ago did you buy it, and do you know anything about previous maintenance? Before any long road trip, check the usual oil & coolant levels, maybe replace the oil if it hasn’t been changed in a while. These cars are famous for their IMS bearing troubles, so if you didn’t get that checked I think you should. A DIY method to do that is to take some drops of oil on your fingers and look in the sun if you see any golden flakes. That could be a sign that the IMS bearing is failing. But mostly these are reliable cars! Just fill it up with gas, play some nice tunes and enjoy the road! The world is your oyster 😉
About 5 weeks, already sunk quite a bit of an annual maintenance budget into her! I detail that elsewhere. Was mostly looking for help on the actual conditions out there! :)
