Hey guys,

I just got my euro serviced at Honda,and when i opened my bonnet up, on my battery there was some bubbly blue liquid

I don't know what it is...Is my battery leaking? or is it something they apply onto my battery during servicing? I don't think I've ever seen it on my car before

That's dielectric grease to prevent corrosion of the battery terminal. It's good stuff. Leave it there.

Ah yes...

I saw your car today at Honda.

I just replaced my battery today for an AC Delco 430CCA Sealed Battery. Part Number: S55B24LS cost $110.00.
Then went down to my friendly Honda dealership and they did the "idle relarn" for me. Took about 20mins to do including changing the battery.

The blue stuff is on mine too...

Car now idles better, starts easier and feels zippier to boot!
