Maintenance at 117K
 

I've started dating a girl who has a 2001 Honda Civic EX. As I've exhausted all the projects on my vehicle (79 Jeep) I thought I'd take my OCD car maintenance quirk and unleash it on her car. All she's ever done to it is change the oil every 4K. I don't know much about Honda's and there's a lot more electronics than I'm used to......but I think I can manage. Anyone have any suggestions on where I should start ie. prioirities? I've changed oil/oil filter/ air filter/ spark plugs/ and the trans fluid....... what's next? Thanks for the help.

Has the timing belt been changed? recommended at 110k

Re: Maintenance at 117K
 

timing belt is actually 170k, or every 7 years. i was just in honda thats what they said. an alignment aswell may need to be done

Re: Maintenance at 117K
 

you sure?? that seems way too long for a timing belt. especially on a civic

Re: Maintenance at 117K
 

wow really? i would not let my timing belt go to 170k. i did mine at 100k. anyway u may wanna look at struts ,shocks, springs, ball joints, motor mount bushings, an other suspension bushings, um timing belt, acc belts, rad flush , minor gaskets like the valve cover gaskets an spark plugs gaskets which r located on the under side of the valve cover where the ignition coils go threw, maybe a nu battery, check the exhaust for leaks. i thinks thats it. good luck dude.

110k miles upto 2005 (for belts). 2006+ uses chain and that can go much longer at least 150k.

$N00Z3 probably meant 170k km not miles
