07 tune-up

My wifes 07 has about 130k miles on it. Time for a major tune-up.
Other than changing the oil, air filter, and spark plugs what else can I do?

What about the oxygen sensor, I guess thats what it is I see up front on the exhaust manifold.

Where is the fuel filter located on this car?

thanks !!!

-how about flushing the coolant ?
-brake fluid?
-transmission fluid?
-flush the power steering fluid
-canbin air filter?
fuel filter is in the tank you don't change it. I no dumb engineer thought
of that one. and the oxygen sensore just leave it alone if theres no
light on the dash no need for changing it.

Re: 07 tune-up

I'm thinking about taking it to Honda for a trans flush.

I remember some older cars I had used EGR filters and some other 3 lettered filters that I cant recall. Just wondering if the Civic had these too.

Just trying to keep it running smooth and the MPG up.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Simple DIY to drain and fill it, easier than changing the engine oil.
About 2.5-3 quarts of fluid for one drain and fill.

If you want to flush the trans, buy a case of fluid and do the drain and fill 4 times, driving a bit between each session to circulate the fluid.

Not on this car.

There is a screen in the VTEC valve gasket, but that isn't normally any issue unless the oil services are neglected.





And, what brags said in his post.
