You know a lot more and have a better batting average on these forums than most people, myself included.
On another note, I seem to see, on average, about 16, give or take a couple, different Odys every day on my 5-6 mile drive to work. Many are high-mile cars since you have to drive a while to get other than basic shopping done around here. I know almost all of these people via my wrokplace, church, kids' functions (swimming, soccer, basketball, baseball, scouting, AWANA, etc.). No tranny problems. No codes.
Still, I'm not blind. These do not have the Honda reliability I knew from years ago (1993 Accord, 1986 CRX HF our previous remarkable rides). I do an ATF drain / refill 1x with each oil change. I use a Magnefine. Coolers on the tow vehicle. Bigger coolers sitting on the workbench, going onto both Odys if I ever get time from all that other stuff I mentioned above.

own when they hear the mileage. The thing is, I am happy with all the components that have 216,000 miles on them. Engine runs great and does not burn oil! It is the 60,000 mile tranny that I am unhappy with.
