The eighth-generation Accord officially entered production in 2008 and was launched in the same year. More details about the eighth-generation Accord are as follows: 1. The eighth-generation Accord measures 4945mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2800mm. 2. The eighth-generation Accord's seat design details take into account the comfort of both drivers and passengers. The wraparound seats provide a more comfortable experience, stabilizing the body and ensuring safety during high-speed driving, akin to having a personal bodyguard. 3. The eighth-generation Accord is equipped with a newly upgraded Honda i-VTEC engine across the entire lineup, featuring enlarged intake valves. The maximum power output reaches 156 horsepower, an increase of 6 horsepower compared to the previous generation's 2.0L engine, with a maximum torque of 189N·m at 4300rpm.

I remember when I was planning to change my car, the eighth-generation Accord made its debut at an auto show. That was at the beginning of 2008. At that time, this model was extremely popular at the 4S stores, and several of my friends bought one. We gathered at the garage entrance discussing the headlight design and body curves of this generation. I specifically looked up information back then and found out that it had already been launched in North America as early as 2007, but domestic production by Guangqi Honda officially started in January 2008. Over the years of driving, I’ve noticed a small detail: most of the eighth-generation Accords on the road have production stickers on the lower corner of the windshield showing dates between 2008 and 2012. Recently, the eighth-generation Accords circulating in the used car market are mostly from these five years. I particularly remember that at the end of 2012, a salesperson posted on social media that once the remaining stock was cleared, the ninth generation would be introduced.

Having handled hundreds of eighth-generation Accords over the years in the car sales business, flipping through the archives reveals it clearly: The 2008 model was released in North America as early as September 2007, but our domestically produced version didn't officially hit the market until January 2008. Back then, the showroom was packed daily with customers. I remember the black 2.4L variant was the hottest, with that bold chrome grille bar being highly distinctive. This production batch continued until Q3 2012, though some final units in inventory were even registered with 2013 plates—but the VINs still showed 2012 manufacture. If you're checking the maintenance manual, pay special attention to the production month on the radiator support label, as many recall parts from that era were concentrated in this period.

What to Do If the Car Exceeds the First Maintenance Period?

The solution for a car exceeding the first maintenance period is: if it's overdue by about a month, the first maintenance can generally still be performed. The 4S dealership and manufacturer usually have a grace period for overdue first maintenance in terms of both time and mileage. The first maintenance is determined by two indicators: mileage and time, whichever comes first. It's not necessary to meet both conditions; exceeding either one can affect the first maintenance. The purposes of the first maintenance are: 1. To ensure the vehicle is in good performance condition; 2. To effectively improve the vehicle's efficiency and reduce wear on parts and tires; 3. To enhance driving safety; 4. To prevent vehicle malfunctions; 5. To reduce noise and environmental pollution; 6. To maintain the vehicle's appearance and prevent damage.

How Thick Are Brake Pads?

Brake pads are approximately 1.5cm thick. As they wear down from friction during use, their thickness gradually decreases. Each brake pad has a raised indicator on both sides, which is about 2-3mm thick—this is the replacement limit for brake discs. The working principle of brake pads is to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby bringing the vehicle to a stop. Brake maintenance methods include: 1. High-temperature protection to prevent corrosion of the braking system and avoid brake pads seizing due to overheating; 2. Clean oil stains from brake discs and drum components to ensure proper heat dissipation; 3. Replace brake fluid regularly; 4. Periodically check the thickness of brake pads or brake shoes.
