It took a few years of recovery but I finally gave up 3k oil changes. Now I am working on getting more mileage out of my brakes. The service limit on my MDX is 1.6 mm. Akebono says I could go down to 1mm. I am changing front pads this morning which average 3.5mm. I can not ever see myself going below that. In my mind I just don’t see the point of trying to squeeze out the last 1-2mm of pad life. How close do you guys get to your service limit before replacing pads?
