That is car company jive to keep people from bitching about maintenance costs and keep calling Hondas the most durable cars in the world. The technology is getting rather amazing, but spark plugs, wires, and the related items (which isnt much any more) are just not 100,000mile type things.
What tech do you have to back this up? Are 7500 mile oil change intervals bad too, then?
Sounds just like the dealership gibberish they are feeding to customers.
It wouldn't make sense for car manufacturers to tell their customers to not maintain their cars especially when most folks accept the costs of a tune-up. My family has a 03 Camry, Accord and 05 Accord, 06 Xa and they all recommend 7500 oil intervals with the Accord recommending 10,000 mile oil changes. I can't imagine Honda/Toyota would risk their engines and reputation if they didn't do a butt load of research into it.
