I got a '97 Civic Coupe Ex- Manual Trans. SOHC- about 155k miles, should be all stock under the hood. I'm wanting to know if someone could let me know what to do maintenance wise. A maintenance checklist or something for 155k miles would be nice.
-Thanks

fluids are usually dependent on mileage, except brake fluid which is every 3 yrs. oil is every 5k/5months, coolant is every 3-5 yrs if you have the honda long life type2, power steering is pretty much when it turns dark, trans fluid every 30k.

i actually do mine every 10k. you are only draining out 1/3 of the fluid each time. 2.9 qts and the trans housing holds at least 9 qts.
Doesnt the manual say like every 100k or something crazy like that? I am not trying to argue just gather information, cuz I havent changed mine since I bought the car used and I have no prior knowledge of what went on. You use honda fluid gearbox?
yeah that seems right, its more of a pain than anything. its easier to turn the wheel side to side if the front of the car is raised up. and youre almost guaranteed to spill something its not a single person job.

Would sucking the fluid out with a pump work? Seems like it would be a bit cleaner, and a 1 man job
I'm assuming Honda Genuine is the fluid to use? I saw some PS fluid at Advance that was made by some off brand but apparently is made for Hondas. This stuff any good?
