I don't have the Honda manual. What do they recommend for the 100,000 mile service?

"Air filter - inspect"

huh...

I would personally say you should be replacing it, not just inspecting it. and much more often than every 100,000 miles. It would be very dirty by then...
Having a clean air filter helps your gas mileage too.

i need to have my serviced since i rolled over 100k. They quoted me around $800 to change the belts, plugs and tune up!

[Murderjetz]

hmmm...well I'm no mechanic but that sounds terribly expensive =\ was this at a Honda dealership?

yeah but that was me rounding up and after taxes!

close to $500 something to change all the belts, then i $150 or so for the plugs and tune up, then some more for chaning the fluids!!!

[electric130]

i'm not worried about the cost as i plan to do it all myself. i'm just wondering what the Honda Manual says.

lmao, i will search for their maint stuff. i think the only thing that actually counts is the timing belt change. everything else is as you need it. so if you already changed your fluids earlier, no need to do it again.

[Oppjonez]

Well half the stuff on our cars is so easy to do. The auto tranny, coolant, and plugs. As for the belts I had the mom and pop shop I go to do it and it was like $330 total. That was timing, and accessories belts.

[electric130]

mines a manual.

[robbclark1]

plugs
timing belt
PS belt if you have it
maybe a water pump
Fluids (if you haven't done it)
Adjust valves (if you haven't done it)

That's about it. This is just off the top of my head though.

change lower arm bushings if you have chance....mine made sound when going over rough surface...it's at 108K now...do civic's need valve adjustment? I thought it didn't....correct me if i am wrong

BTW April is Honda care day, so you can get 40 point inspection free...so get your car checked and don't do anything they say....

[electric130]

what's involved with adjusting the valves?

[gearbox]

feeler gauge, removing the valve cover, a new cover gasket, and the service book for the tolerances.

bushings suck and should be replaced anyway!

I can see it now
"I'm here for my 40 point inspection"
"Sir, we don't know what to inspect, nothing on your car is where it should be"
