Took the 03 accord into the service center to have it's oil changed and to be looked over.
2 interesting developments
A. My rear pads had 3mil and 5 mil each left.
2 question I had for them
1. check he calipers to see if each seems to be moving OK (Their answer was yes but the pins seem to have corrosion on them)
2. Why after 20K are they about gone

B. The brake fluid has 200 PPM of copper in it and needs to be changed
I had the fluid done at the dealership 9K ago.

So, guys, why do you think the fluid went TU so quickly?
 
Are the brake lines copper? If they are, I suspect the brake fluid itself is attacking the lines... maybe switch to a different fluid. Just my best guess.
 
All new cars have Copper in their lines.
