dont worry lucy i will let you know something i did which was oil related , i hadnt changed the oil on my v6 for nearly two years which resulted in a failed oil cooler (imagine water and oil mixing lol) and cheap oil which has mucked the tappets up on the rear bank. so dont worry lol

well lets put it this way it takes over a hour to replace 6 spark plugs on my v6 and thats cos theres a massive manifold to remove before you can get to 3 back ones but with four sparks its a doddle.

you can do it lucy .ive never owned a honda as yet so i dont know lots but im a quick learner lol
