2013 Honda Accord Sport 112, 000 miles; I keep my oil leveled and change my oil every 7, 000-7, 500 miles with synthetic 0W-20 and still runs great. Love the video, very informative.

I got a 2013 accord 2.4 349, 000 miles. I do all the maintenance n repair myself. I bought this car used 2 years old with 67, 000 miles. Ive been changing my oil @ every 7500 miles full synthetic. It only started burning oil @300, 000. I do top off the oil with about a quart around 5, 000 so i can make it to 7, 500. I drive around 37, 000 miles a year. I change my tranny fluid every 75, 000. Its the best car ive ever had. One interesting part that i had to replace was the engine coolant pipe that started leaking at the lower o ring at @ 270, 000 miles. Everything on my car works fine and the car still looks good. Except for the rims which are very corroded.

Been seeing a lot of these on the road with the V6 lately. But my brother has a 2014 2.4L/CVT that I’ve been taking care of since new (now at 197, 000 miles). I perform all maintenance on the car religiously and it’s holding up perfectly. I did just replace all rotors with fancy slotted/drilled units because the originals warped. & about the only other issue the car had was it needed a brand new cabin A/C fan ($40 for a new one & 10min to replace).

Two things I’m truly impressed of is just how durable and smooth Honda’s CVT is. & the engine doesn’t seem to have carbon build up on the intake valves… shocking because it’s Direct Injected only. Damn thing is still running smooth as the day she was driven off the lot.

Fingers crossed I can get 350K out my 10G Accord. Buying the right car and maintaining them is key.

I have a 2013 Honda Accord EX-L bought in 2022 with 55k miles, I’m now at 115k. Only problem I had is with the front brakes. Took me three different times to find brakes that don’t squeak. Yes I tried OEM first. Other than that change your oil every 5K after around 70K miles and please make sure you change the transmission fluid at least every 30k. Otherwise your car will drive rough and will stutter sometimes when you accelerate from a stop. These are great cars my friend has the same year with 830k on it.

Have a 15 2.4L getting a very occasional start up rattle. While not happy, glad it's only the tensioner. not VTC. Much simpler as you say. Excellent point. 👍

My intake tube was torn in two different places. Thanks for the pointers 😊

I have a 2013 EX CVT with 98, 000 miles that has been trouble free. One common issue is the soft paint that is prone to swirls, chips, and fading. Eight years I coated the vehicle with a consumer grade ceramic coating along with klasse high gloss sealant two times every year. Hand wash using the two bucket method about once a month. The paint on my vehicle still looks great. Much better than the average two to three year old Accord.

Currently own a 2017 Accord Sport SE with 76, 400 something miles, close to 76, 500 and no issues. I did get it used at 53k and I’ve been changing the engine oil every 5k. For the CVT, I changed the fluid when it had 60k on it and even though it’s recommended every 30k miles I’m planning to do it when I have 80k miles on the ODO so basically every 20k to be on the safe side. But other than that, it’s been a great car, still on the original brakes and rotors, still has the OEM rims and original LED headlight assembly. I’ve been wanting to upgrade the stereo to a Ex-l or touring touch screen but idk how complicated that is

Got a 2017 Accord EX-L 2 years ago with only 15, 000 miles on it, and I've been LOOKING for a video like this for forever!

Got it with the dead backup camera like what you mentioned, but cause of parts shortages at the time, I had to wait a whole year to get it replaced. Since put ~5, 000 miles on it and wanna keep up with the maintenance as much as possible. This video is really gonna help with that!

My 13' has 177k. Great vehicle. Cvt shifts smooth

[CristianHernandez-knhl]

You’re awesome man! Thanks for going out of your way to inform us Accors owners! Cheers

I have owned a 9th Gen Sport CVT (2.4 liter NA) and really was hesitant about the CVT, but after 7 years with it I really like it.

I have 90k plus currently and I do see oil burn, up to 1/2 quart. I just keep an eye on it and I think I am going to start changing it at 5k miles since it is burning more between changes. It's crazy that 10k was the "minder" setting on these cars. I agree an extra $100 extra a year is way better than a $5k engine repair in the long run.

Overall I really like my 9th gen Sport for it's looks and MPG is pretty dang good when I get on the highway and travel.

Thanks for the tips, always good to hear from someone that sees common issues. Saves us money and keeps us watching.

[peterkohler]

Thanks so much. Great info. Sounds very reliable overall, I was a bit worried about the CVT when they were first put in the accords. What about the direct injection fouling the valves or issues w/ EGR?

[mhafez]

Thx for those great vidz, as always!! we have a 2017 I-4 2.4 cvt 110k miles on it. We had one issue, we were told it was common at dealership, which is an oil leak from the valve cover gasket, it was replaced at 45k miles under warranty and no leaks since then.

[luisalvarado]

I have a '13 Accord EXL with only 39k miles, The issues I've had is the starter failed at 39K miles and drive belt tensioner gone at 24k miles.

[computersbyfrank]

Holding steady at 276k 15” Accord, I changed all those problems BEFORE hand to avoid issues. Runs great, taking it to 500K. Only major job done was PS replaced, all tie rods changed, upper control arm just because, sway bar links whopping $3800 between parts & labor.

Thank you for these videos brother. I have a 2015 Accord LX, and I have been on YouTube for two hours trying to diagnose my Honda. It’s start up is a little hesitation. I changed the starter, charged the battery, and my scanner doesn’t show anything. The alternator is within spec. So I’m lost.
