Oh crap! What's the interval for coolant flushes??

Believe it or not, on my first service (1000km/600miles) they wanted to charge me -about 1 euro- for a top-up on coolant.

-"really? coolant?" I asked.
-"yes. I did it myself, it was a bit low. Nothing big: just a bit", he said.
-And where did you added it to?

Then he realised, he corrected it, and he shouldn't expect to see me back there. Of course, at that point, it was someone else's mistake ("you know, standard paperwork... blah blah...").

And this was at a Honda's official service

Did this. Thank you Ferret! I used Silicone grease per the shop manual, Honda part #08798-9013. Made a huge difference.

Wow. Awkward.

Thread bump to thank Mr. Ferret for this tutorial. My front brake wasn't pulling smoothly and so I took both levers apart and greased them up as per his instructions. It's a simple job but having a tutorial to read through first was sweet. The photos are no longer on there but the text worked like a charm. And it made a huge difference in how the levers operate. Highly recommend you all rush right out and do this service. It took 15 minutes and I'm kinda slow as some of you know
Mickey!

Bob, did it take you 15 min per side or both?

[Inhouse Bob]

Okay, maybe 12 minutes for the first side and three for the second. But it was exactly 15 total. Precisely. On the nose. Assuredly. Just so.
