If your car is an Acura you barely need to do anything to get it to 200 miles other than keep it and let a good mechanic (not a Jiffy Lube) do your oil changes and inspections. They just live long. I’m over 150K on my 1993 now.

Agree and disagree. Our Acura's going strong; great car, etc.........we agree there. As far as Jiffy Lube's go, it ALL depends entirely on where you go. Many of them are totally worthless, but we have one very close to our home that is unreal good. The manager is a true pro and runs a tight ship. Their workmanship is flawless and they're incredibly thorough; they define "customer service". It's no wonder they do huge repeat business, including my family's cars.

You had BETTER get the timing belt replaced. The Acura engine design is one in which, if the timing belt breaks, the valves will hit the piston heads and destroy your engine. I agree with you on the rest of your post.
