I did the full 90K service at a Honda dealer....which includes changine EVERY fluid and an extensive list of other stuff....I paid $343. Well worth it in my opinion....Honda parts are the only way to go for maintenence.

I disagree. I always go with Honda or something better. For example, I have Mobil 1 in the engine, Honda MTF in the transmission, Mobil 1 in diff, Valvoline in the clutch, and Honda in the brakes. Next time the brakes need to be bled, I'll be going with Motul.

30/60/90k services are a total rip off. They use what, 40 dollars worth of parts and charge you 3-4 hundred? lol.

If you aren't doing your own oil changes, you're just lazy anyways

Lazy.
Don't have the time.
Don't want to spend the time.

I've also noticed the older I get, the less I want to mess with fluids.

Swapping parts and running the butt-dyno. That's fun. Changing fluids = not so fun.

3) Inspect drive belt - not really necessary
Until it breaks....

There is no reason not to do the "inspect" stuff. In this case all you have to do is look at the belt and make sure it is not fraying or delaminating or any other sort of bad thing.

If you already have the car up on jackstands or a lift, look over the exhaust, frame, engine mounts, etc. Look at the CV boots and make sure they aren't cracking. This stuff isn't hard.

if you dont take the car to Honda to get the scheduled services done, wont it void the warranty?
No. Besides, what warranty are you referring to? The standard warranty on the car only goes to 36K, not 60K.

If I were capable of doing all the necessary maintenance, I wouldn't mind spending the whole Saturday with my S. I'd actually enjoy it...
