It can never hurt, and only takes about a half hour to an hour if you do it yourself. I did mine at about 30k, some do theirs every 15k.

What do you need to do them yourself and doesn't that void your warranty....I just reached 27,000K and need to go to the dealer for the 30K check......they rape you like $300 or so!!!!

A feeler gauge, 8mm socket on a driver (not an air ratchet), and a flat-head screwdriver. Find the specs under your hood and make sure you get a feeler gauge that's got close widths.

Some people may tell you to get the Honda tool. It's just this side of useless if you just pay attention to what you're doing. Go to C-Speed Racing for a how-to.
