It is a good idea to have it checked even if you have to do it yourself. I am not sure if the vavle clearence specs are in your manual, but if you need them let me know. My car is coming up on 80k and the valve clearence on my car are a little off. I have been meaning to adjust them for a long time now, but I can never find the time. Everything else is routine maintenance that you can do with a jack and a couple of stands. If you have any problems or questions let me know.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="http://www.all-acura.com/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>DRGSR</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://www.all-acura.com/spacer.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2003 2:48 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Is it neccesary to have the valve clearneces checked like it suggests in the manual? <br />I bought the car used with about 60,000 miles.

That light is programed to come on at certain times to tell you to bring the car into the dealership so they can perform a maintenance check. <img src="http://www.all-acura.com/spacer.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" border="0" /> But if you take good car of your car or you have your own mechanic there is a button u can press to reset it. It should be under your driver side panel next to or on a black box. Turn the car to on and press the button for 10 - 20 seconds and it should be reset. If you have any troubles just take it to the dealership and they can show you how to reset it.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="http://www.all-acura.com/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>TKO</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://www.all-acura.com/spacer.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2003 6:09 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Maintenance Light?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">hi, <br />Everytime i start up my car the maintenance light starts flashing.
