I am running the Quatrac Pros on my R (225/45 18), and have been really happy with them. I ended up running them year round. They are a really impressive tire.

I switched to Akebono ceramic compound after about six months of trying the Hawk HPS street pads. Performance is on par with OEM but I was looking for something that has less brake dust.
I have the Odyssey Yellowtop
I just completed this on my '13 a few weeks back at 68,000. Belt was still in good condition but as others noted, thats not the only point of failure and my roller bearings had some excessive play so I am glad I did it given the risk of letting it go.
The approach to go with 10W40 is absolutely right - from my experience the best oil for that kind of engines! Take an expensive Castrol Magnatec Oil and it runs well.
I use conventional oil (10w-40) and personally change it every 2,000 with a new Mann or Mahle filter.
On my daily R I just replaced the timing belt and water pump at 80,000 miles. It is my daily so I just did it to have piece of mind. The belt looked great as well as the water pump.
That's great but remember that they are very firm for their intended us by designe. B4 is already 10% firmer than stock and has proper rebound damping.
I’ve had my car for over 5 years now and currently have 140k miles, and my water pump just recently failed me. Which is surprising because my car did lose a little bit of coolant over time, I would always top off with G13. Water pump failed and it’s currently being replaced, other than that, I think that’s fair for age and mileage.
Installed a new steering angle sensor and reset it but light comes bacl pn Symptom : (1) ESR light is on (the arrow around the exclamation point symbol), (2) My steering wheel feels very loose as in the feeling where your traction control lets the driver know they don't have traction on the road when they are hydroplaning.
