I would agree with the gentlemen who recommended checking the oil level frequently and making sure to keep your transmission fluid fresh. These engines can take a beating, but the transmission may be another story (I once drove a loaner 2012 Accord with a slipping automatic transmission at 46k miles); given your statement that you frequently drive beyond the vehicle's designed capacity, I'd consider a transmission cooler (if you don't already have one).
I am the original owner of a 2012 Accord K24, but I've got the manual transmission. Fuel cut-off for my car is 7400rpm (ask me how I know
)...the K24 is a great engine, and it's entirely possible that the Honda engineers designed it to easily accommodate your needs. My car just crossed 100k miles without a hiccup, and I've used whatever name-brand oil was cheap at the time (until I switched to Mag1 0w20 10k miles ago...doesn't take much to convince me at $18/5qt).
BTW, congratulations on owning a great car! I've always been more of a "domestic" car-guy...but one of my ex-girlfriends owned a 2010 Accord Coupe and it only took one drive to realize I was in love with the Accord; I test-drove most of the competition, but my Accord had that 'x-factor,' if you will. She said I bought a "grandpa-car" (I preferred the sedan over her coupe), but it's been very good to me.
Cheers,
Jordan
