just asking cause I have had all the fluids checked whenever the oil has been changed and have rotated the tires, and all that biz. I know that i may need to change my timing belt in the next 20k but I dont recall my manual saying that anything else should be done. Is thier a guide somewhere on here that has all the maitenance intervals ect? my manual is MIA...

2001 LX civic coupe with prob half of the miles being hiway miles. I also live in Iowa where we have some wicked winter snow and cold weather. we also have some hot days in summer.

lol.... if you live in a cold area, you may want to think about using a thinner oil to make the starts easier. I would say use 0w20 in the winter cold months, then switch to 5w20 or 5w30 during the hot days.

Plugs are about all I can think of, I change those at 50,000 miles. Check the condition of the hoses and what not, and that's about it.
