Have to use Honda Dealer P/S Fluid No other brand is compatible, unless it is stated in your owners manual Now ford & nissan have the same deal with trans fluid, until someone formulates something You need a licence to make those products & the mfg don't always give them out

Very. Not recommended unless you've done other MAJOR work on an engine. Getting the timing belt wrong and running the motor can destroy it. I believe you have an interference type engine, meaning that if the timing is off enough, the piston and valves will come together, and not in a happy way. I'm talking destruction like your wife coming home and finding you with her sister. If you have a few hydraulic floor jacks, a fairly large air compressor and tools, seal pullers, probably a lift, and a good Haynes manual (if available for your vehicle), then give it a try. Even the dealership will need at least half a day to do this job, if not longer. So for a novice, I'd avoid it. Something as critical as the timing belt, I'll leave to professionals.

That's related to the dimmer module, nissan is known for having that issue, I have just bypass the system a few times so it works with the light switch, I'll say its requieres a little knowledge of electrical probing.

Mitsubishi use high quality platinum plugs in the back side of the V6 because of the difficulty of replacing them. I would not be surprised if Honda use the same idea.. Remember that with EFI engines the plugs will generally out last the engine any way and the old idea that it is necessary for a tune up is defeated by the fact that EFI engines have a ECM that keeps the engine in perfect tune or throws up a code to let you know other wise.
