Hey guys,

basicly on my list of things to do on my car

is replace or the fluids and flush out the oil and fuel tanks, and change the air filter and change over the spark plugs; My fuel effiency is rather shit.

1.3ltr engine 425km for 38ltrs of premium (95% i think?)...


Also im wanting to eventually repaint the car, I dont have any idea how to go about this.

First of all,
what oil should i use for a D13B engine... 93 civic breeze
recommended spark plugs? Fuel filter? and oil filter?

i got a price quote from autobahn about an air filter, $67 for the circular air filter....

In my opinion, nothing goes wrong with OEM. But if you wanna go up another notch, Castrik Edge Sport, would be a good way to preserve the life of your engine. 5w-30 should do the job. Both OEM and Castrol Edge are about the same price range, ranging from $50 for the OEM and about 50-60 for Castrol Edge, depending if there are any sales. Fuel filters from honda, got quoted about 20-30 dollars. Oil filters are cheap, 10 bux. A decent cheap air filter would be a K & N one, not sure about the price. Spark plugs you can get a supercheap auto, 30 bux for a set of 4, and they do the same job.

425Km is actually really good for fuel econemy. You also gotta take into consideration, on how much you thrash your car.

Hopefully this has helped ya mate.
