I have a 2003 Honda Accord 2dr v6 automatic with 35,000 miles. I drive it primarily less than 5 miles per trip twice a day, which I have read is considered harsh conditions (assuming because of lack of warming up etc.). I have owned for the past five years and have changed oil regularly and replaced tires, nothing else needed. What maintenance, if any, needs to be done. With the miles being so low for a 10 year old car, I was wondering if anything should be done just based on time.

For 35,000 miles that would just be a oil change i would check the belts hoses etc look for any visable leaks etc.I would get a good fuel cleaner for it like a chevron techron cleaner.Also check the oil and transmission fluid for milkyness indicating water/moisture since its driven so little.Also a carbon blast since your just doing around town driving?
