So the Seafoam thread got me thinking would one of these deposit removal procedures be good for a cross country drive? I'm getting ready to drive my 04 Accord to the Philly area from SoCal in a little under a month and I need to figure what will protect my car from excess wear and tear.

I'm already thinking taking it into the dealership because everytime I start the thing I get a "maintenance required" light blinking. That and I've had some problems with missfires. To top it off I'm already at the 25,000 mile mark.

I'm thinking I need to get the belts checked, tires rotated, all the different oils and fluids topped off, and carbon removal, new airfilter... What else should I get done or what should I forgo?

Go ahead and do the 30K service now and be done with it.

Highway miles are the least stressful on a vehicle as far as wear and tear goes.

Did he say "blinker fluid"? :) I would actually do a "Apex" road trip! See who you can bother for a free brew or story along the way. If you wanna head down South, look me up!
