    Hello,
    My accord just hit 3 years and has 30K miles on it.

    I've had the oil changes done every 3 mos and
    recently had front brake pads replaced as well
    as air filter.

    What would you say are the most important 30K tasks
    to get done?

    I haven't done a coolant flush & refill done.
    Is this as important at this point?

    What about tranny oil and brake fluids?

    Please advice on the most important tasks for this car
    at this mileage.

    Thanks

    Do you have the Accord's owner's manual? It should have come with this car if
    you bought it new.

    There's a spreadsheet in these that shows the time and miles at which certain
    items should be done.

    air filter
    oil/filter
    coolant drain and change

    The dealer has a standard 30k package which should also include a valve lash
    adjustment, oil/filter change, air filter, cabin filter and so forth. You
    should not need plugs as they are platinum. Surprised you have had to
    change brake pads -- my 01 Prelude is still on the originals at 51k miles
    and good for while longer.
