Well, the diff fluid for sure. And the tranny fluid ONLY if you are having any "issues" with the way it works.
Many of the items on that list are "inspect" things. If you can possibly do it yourself, you can save yourself a bit of money and some of the pitfalls of leaving your car at the dealership.
You don't seem to drive your car very hard and in this sense, it is a Honda afterall, and should be quite reliable and trouble free. Doing your own inspections should be more than adequate at this stage in the car's life. If something is wrong, you would most likely detect it in the way the car behaves.
Although I am not the most "gentle" in the way I drive my car, I don't abuse it either, as can be witnessed by some posts on the forum. That having been said, this is one of the most "bulletproof" automobiles of this type I have ever owned.

Back in the day, my Dad turned me on to I Ching. I was on the hunt after that. As a teenager, I had Yin, and buddy Yang on the back of my jean jacket. I've always seen them stationary and wanted to make them roll. Crazy, I know.

I'll keep this avatar until Yin changes things. She has a tendency to do that.

Yin/Yang represents balance, harmony in the world. My eyes don't feel that while watching the avatar.

In general, the Yin Yang symbol is a Chinese representation of the entire celestial phenomenon. It contains the cycle of Sun, four seasons, 24-Segment Chi, the foundation of the I-Ching and the Chinese calendar.

I could slooow them down for you all.


Hey, what does all this have to do with someone who hasn't been over 100 mph yet?

Some will scold you for changing the factory fill oil too early, but not me.

Some will suggest changing the transmission and Differential oil now.
