Honda Accord Hits One-Million Miles in Maine

Most Honda owners know that their new Honda model is going to be dependable, durable, and get great mileage. What you may not know is that with the right kind of TLC, your Honda could get really, really, really great mileage. We're talking one-million miles of "great mileage." Joe LoCicero, a Honda driver from Maine, recently reached the one-million mile mark on his 1990 Honda Accord.

There's a good chance that a feat such as that of Joe elicits numerous questions in your mind. Most prominent of those is probably: How? Actually driving that many miles was hardly difficult for Joe. He averaged 62,000 miles per year while working as a claims adjuster and traveling across the entire state of Maine. But perhaps the biggest reason Joe's Honda Accord made it to the million-mile mark, is his diligent maintenance regimen.

For those looking to grab a few Honda care tips from Joe, here are some of his proven methods.

-    Accurately follow your owner manual and maintenance schedule
-    Check vehicle fluids weekly and switch them annually
-    Use quality Honda parts
-    Change your oil every 5,000 miles and stick with the same brand
-    Change brake fluid every couple of years
-    Never let your tank run on "empty"
-    Drive safe!

Of course, Joe does have 18-years of experience as an auto technician up his sleeves. "Cars have been in my blood and life for over 32 years,"1 he says. But, you don't need to me a skilled mechanic to take care of your car. If you can't be bothered to do it yourself, you can always take it into Schaller Honda for service. And, who knows...If you do manage to make it to one-million miles, maybe, just maybe, Honda will give you a brand-new Honda Accord, like they did with Joe.
