    And is it easy to get to? What about the drain plug? I just have a 100
    miles on it now, but I don't know if I should leave in the oil for 5000
    miles as people have mentioned that Honda has a special 'break in' oil or
    just to change the oil my self at 1000mi. I don't think the manual
    specifically mentioned that I should do by first oil change not before 5k.
    Any suggestions?

    thanks

    I have an 04 I4. you have to raise the car to change oil. the filter is on
    the backside of engine facing the firewall. the drian plug in also on the
    rear of the pan on the bottom. I wouldnt change the oil before 5000 miles
    , Honda does use special oil and besides that it is a waste of money. 5000
    mile oil changes are plenty good for any car. Scott

    "I don't think"...?


    I "don't think" you have actually read the owner's manual. I also
    "don't think" you've asked your dealer either.

    Are you an automotive engineer? Are you a mechanical engineer of any kind?
    Were you part of the Honda team that did the research to determine the
    appropriate initial oil change interval?

    No?

    Then go and REALLY read the manual, and then FOLLOW it. You spent a lot of
    money on this car, didn't you? Do you want to spend much, much more? Didn't
    think so. Don't be so stupid. Protect your investment.

    Yeah, go ahead, change your oil now. Why wait? !00 miles is plenty! And then
    when you reach the 5000 mile mark and your getting lousy mileage you can
    blame Honda for selling you a lemon. Because you know better!
    Yeah, that's the ticket!

    Why doesn't he change it every 100 miles? I heard also that if you change
    your tires every 1000miles, you will get better grip.

    Why are people overdoing the maintenance on their cars? In the US, it's
    3000miles and for some reason, here in Canada, it's 3000 kms to change oil??
    My book says every 5,000miles/7,500kms when in extreme conditions. Will the
    extra 2000miles make such a difference in saving your engine's life?

    Garages want to make money and are lying to their customers about the 3K
    mark.

    top with parsley, lemon slices and cracked pepper.
    Serve with spinach salad, macaroni and cheese (homemade) and iced tea...



    Spaghetti with Real Italian Meatballs

    If you don?t have an expendable bambino on hand,
    you can use a pound of ground pork instead.
    The secret to great meatballs, is to use very lean meat.

    1 lb. ground flesh; human or pork
    3 lb. ground beef
    1 cup finely chopped onions
    7 - 12 cloves garlic
    1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
    ½ cup milk, 2 eggs
    Oregano
    basil
    salt
    pepper
    Italian seasoning, etc.
    Tomato gravy (see index)
    Fresh or at least freshly cooked spaghetti or other pasta

    Mix the ground meats together in a large bowl,
    then mix each of the other ingredients.
    Make balls about the size of a baby?s fist
    (there should be one lying around for reference).
    Bake at 400°for about 25 minutes -
    or you could fry them in olive oil.
    Place the meatballs in the tomato gravy, and simmer for several hours.
    Serve on spaghetti.
    Accompany with green salad, garlic bread and

    cup seasoned flour
    oil enough for deep frying
    1 loaf French bread
    Lettuce
    tomatoes
    mayonnaise, etc.

    Marinate the fetuses in the egg-mustard mixture.
    Dredge thoroughly in flour.
    Fry at 375° until crispy golden brown.
    Remove and place on paper towels.



    Holiday Youngster

    One can easily adapt this recipe to ham, though as presented,
    it violates no religious taboos against swine.

    1 large toddler or small child, cleaned and de-headed
    Kentucky Bourbon Sauce (see index)
    1 large can pineapple slices
    Whole cloves

    Place him (or ham) or her in a large glass baking dish, buttocks up.
    Tie with butcher string around and across so that he looks like
    he?s crawling.
    Glaze, then arrange pineapples and secure with cloves.
    Bake uncovered in 350° oven till thermometer reaches 160°.



    Cajun Babies

    Just like crabs or crawfish, babies are boiled alive!
    You don?t need silverware, the hot spicy meat comes off in your hands.

    6 live babies
    1 lb. smoked sausage
    4 lemons
    whole garlic
    2 lb. new potatoes
    4 ears corn
    1 box salt
    crab boil

    Bring 3 gallons of water to a boil.
    Add sausage, salt, crab boil, lemons and garlic.
    Drop potatoes in, boil for 4 minutes.
    Corn is added next, boil an additional 11 minutes.
    Put the live babies into the boiling water and cover.
    Boil till meat comes off easily with a fork.



    Oven-Baked Baby-Back Ribs

    Beef ribs or pork ribs can be used in this recipe,
    and that is exactly what your dinner guests will assume!
    An excellent way to expose the uninitiated to this highly misunderstood
    yet succulent source of protein.

    2 human baby rib racks
    3 cups barbecue sauce or honey glaze (see index)
    Salt
    black pepper
    white pepper
    paprika

    Remove the silverskin by loosening from the edges,
    then stripping

    then allow it to set for at least
    15 minutes more.
    Serve over steamed rice; this dish is very impressive!



    Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

    Babies really can be found under a cabbage leaf -
    or one can arrange for ground beef to be found there instead.

    8 large cabbage leaves
    1 lb. lean ground newborn human filets, or ground chuck
    Onions
    peppers
    celery
    garlic
    soy sauce
    salt pepper, etc
    Olive oil
    breadcrumbs
    Tomato Gravy (see index)

    Boil the cabbage leaves for 2 minutes to soften.
    In skillet, brown the meat in a little olive oil,
    then add onions, peppers, and celery (all chopped finely)
    and season well.
    Place in a large bowl and cool.
    Add seasoned breadcrumbs and a little of the tomato gravy,
    enough to make the mixture pliable.
    Divide the stuffing among the cabbage leaves then roll.
    Place seam down in a baking pan.
    Ladle tomato gravy on top,
    and bake at 325° for 30 - 45 minutes.



    Umbilical Cordon Bleu

    Nothing is so beautiful as the bond between mother and child,
    so why not consume it?
    Children or chicken breasts will work wonderfully also.

    1 stillbirth, de-boned and cubed
    ¼ cup vegetable oil
    2 large onions
    bell pepper
    celery
    garlic
    ½ cup red wine
    3 Irish potatoes
    2 large carrots

    This is a simple classic stew that makes natural gravy,
    thus it does not have to be thickened.
    Brown the meat quickly in very hot oil, remove and set aside.
    Brown the onions, celery, pepper and garlic.
    De-glaze with wine, return meat to the pan and season well.
    Stew on low fire adding small amounts of water and
    seasoning as necessary.
    After at least half an hour, add the carrots and potatoes,
    and simmer till root vegetables break with a fork.
    Cook a fresh pot of long grained white rice.



    Pre-mie Pot Pie

    When working with prematurely delivered newborns (or chicken) use sherry;
    red wine with beef (buy steak or roast, do not pre-boil).

    Pie crust (see index)
    Whole fresh pre-mie; eviscerated, head, hands and feet removed
    Onions, bell pepper, celery
    ½ cup wine
    Root vegetables of choice (turnips, carrots, potatoes, etc) cubed

    Make a crust from scratch - or go shamefully to the frozen food section
    of your favorite grocery and select 2 high quality pie crusts (you
    will need one for the top also).
    Boil the prepare
