Thank you everyone. The saga is ongoing. Coolant temp is normal. Coolant is Honda blue stuff and is about about 4-5 years old and 30-40k miles. I am very particular about mechanical functions and settings of my vehicles abs know this one is right where it should be. Idle control is my main...

Front brakes were replaced 20k miles ago at 120k mark. The car had a very long commute on country and small town highway roads for 5 years at 110 miles each day.

It drives fine when at highway speed. I have refill gas three times since starting using it again just to prevent additional problems and to justify keeping it on insurance. So it has seen 500-700 miles since and mostly 10 miles trip and a few 40 miles trip. Car doesn't jerk or clunk. Mileage is...

My buddy was gling to help me change the fluid last June (136k mile mark) when he checked the wear and said they could use a new set. The drums look fine amd it is the coated drums so there is no rust issues and are likely...

OP Here. Thank you all. I put 80k miles since the last fluid change but driving conditions were mostly highway and limited urban and some suburban. I check the fluid every two or three weeks when I top of windshield fluid and clean the window. it still looks good in term of color and braking...

Hello Everyone, I need to change drum brakes on my 2012 Honda Fit Sport. Is there a good brand out there that can give me at least 50k miles usage. The vehicle has 140k and is on original drum brakes but I know it does need replacement from the inspection while changing fluid 4 years ago. I...
