I think the main reason i skipped that 30k mile checkup, was the fact that it was going to cost me a lot. My stepmoms cr-v got the 30k checkup and it was like 400 dollars...and after the checkup the alignment was off horribly..

my 60k check up was cheap, less then 200. like 150. I did some of the work myself, told them dont mess with my intake, did my own cabin filters, spark plugs changed, they just did everything else. Why not spend some money and make your car stay healthy and last?

Sorry. I'm a cheapass. I'll take it for the 50k checkup. I dont to any of my own stunts so its gonna cost me a bundle. I'll tell them to leave my alignment alone..they seriously messed up the cr-v. I think they fixed it, but i dont remember.

A lot happened to the old site. It's gone, in essence. The members that were 7thgencivic.com left to other places. Some made a wanna-be site on proboards, others joined more reputable sites such as importpassion.com, and others made a more technical-centric site, namely EMHonda.com. That's where you'll find most of the users that are the most knowledgeable about these cars. Not on this board. The most helpful guys have left, to repeat myself.

wow that really suck...i learned so much from 7thgen website too...=/ guess there is no point of coming here anymore. no more 7thgen car meets...

jester444

All the guys that organized the meets and things like that moved over to importpassion.com. I'd go check that out if I were you. This site is still good though, if only for its databases.

i feel like an idiot in asking this, but whats the cabin filter?

Alpha 5

iTrader: (8)

I knew this was coming!!!!! Look behind your glove box. There is a cabin filter it filters the cabin air.

jester444

Yeah, it's not easy to find. There's two filter elements in there, even though it doesn't look like it.

my plan for 30,000, and yes i'm doing this myself.

prestone coolant
moblie 1 5w-20 + oem honda filter
oem cabin filter
ngk/denso iridium
honda transmission oil 2 quarts<<< still need help with this. i dont know which bolt to remove. i know there is two bolts you have to remove. one is to drain and one is to refill. *shrug

Matteo

o haha, i knew there was some sort of filter for that..just didnt now it was called that or located behind glove box, thanks. I didnt even kno u were supposed to change those! lol

will Honda do that in their warranty check-up dates? my car is just just 2 years old now

CIVIC X3

iTrader: (2)

now really that hard to change...if u can change the air filter, u should be able to change the cabin filter...

I wouldn't go with prestone coolant, i'd go with honda oem. If you want something else that you can buy easier, go with zerex.

If you have a 5 speed civic, im pretty sure the bottom bolt with a square in it for a socket wrench is the drain plug, and the fill plug is the larger one, 17mm i think.

wow...finally! ty a bunch ctx66. really appreciate the help. 2 quart of transmission oil is fine right? and ty for the heads up. i'll go and pick up the honda coolant too.
