If you want it to run a bit better, try doing a fluid flush on all the fluids, and do a engine clean up. with 150K miles, there is probably alot of carbon built up in your valves and engine.

www.lubecontrol.com fr690 or something like that. you basically pour it into your gas tank... check out it. few people from this site seem to love it (gearbox is one)... hes got a review here as well.

im sure with 150k miles, u can benefit from it pretty good. mostly after using 93 as its known to leave much more carbon deposits on an n/a civic 98.
