Okay, so which one is it that controls when I have to get maintenance
in order to keep my Warranty valid?
Basically, what you seem to be saying is that the local Honda dealer
is trying to pull a fast one and convince me that I need to do
maintenance that I do not need to do, according to American Honda
Manufacturing.
So according to American Honda Manufacturing I do not need to do the
maintenance until it comes up on my dashboard?
