As title, my dealer wanted me to do that and it is coming soon... It is a 2005 Accord EX-V6, two oil changed had been done.

Mostly inspections but a tire rotation should be done if not done when the oil was changed. If you live where it snows, brake caliper maintenance is a pretty standard spring expense.

As copied from Honda factory website 2003-2005 Accord V-6
7,500 miles/ 12,000 km/ --- 2003-2005 ModelsFollow the Normal Schedule if the severe driving conditions specified in the Maintenance Schedule for Severe Conditions do not apply, and if only OCCASIONALLY driven in severe driving conditions. Follow the Severe Conditions schedule if the vehicle is driven MAINLY in Canada.
Do the items in parts A, B, C, D, E, F, and G as required for the mileage/time interval listed.
o Replace engine oil every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or 1 year.
o Engine oil capacity without oil filter: 4.0 L (4.2 US qt).
o Rotate tires, and check tire inflation and condition every 7,500 miles (12,000 km).
o Follow the pattern shown in the Owner's Manual
But then you and every one else knows better, so go ahead and create your own maintenance schedule. You don't really think the dealer has any thought about keeping you as a customer or maybe selling you another car in the future. Nah! For what reason would they do that for. And then you can also go ahead and bitch about how your car didn't last as long as your buddy's car, and you'll never buy one of those again. Yep, don't listen to those who know.
