THANKS EVERYBODY - Great Dialog on the Honda Civic EX
My Daughter's car , she made an appointment as we have chatted. God
Bless the Saratoga Honda Service Department. Although she read the
book and tightened the cap , they told her to do it really tight and
wait not "three trips" but take / wait atleast three days --
I don't get this, the MIL / CEL is now off and so am I
I heading for a turkey sandwich.
THANKS AGAIN -
