well type-2 honda coolant is good upto 10 years. brake fluid is every 3 yrs regardless of mileage. power steering also lasts near forever, only change it if it turns black.

i stuck a piece of cloth in the coolant via radiator, and it came out pretty clean so i should be good, I think overall I am okay, I'm trying to figure out if these pulsar be1 spark plugs are worth it can anyone comment?

also can you comment on this plug?
Bosch PlatinumIR Fusion Spark Plug 4501 FGR8DQI

stay away from pulstar plugs, they are complete garbage and have ruined some motors. i tried them and returned it an hour later. took a month to get my money back. bosch is also a terrible plug. the best for a civic is either denso iridium if you can afford it, or the plain old ngk v-power copper plugs. they both perform the same, but the iridium uses less electrical power to make the same spark.
