DC5 (non type R) Service for 55,000km recommendations

[steveyc]

Hi all
I own an 02 DC5 Non type R Tip Tronic and was hoping you guys could help me out with what sort of service you would recommend?

Just oil/oil filter/air filters? anything else?

What sort of Oil do you recommend as well?
was leaning towards castrol edge 5w30, or is there something better that I should use?

does the DC5 and DC5R use different oil?

Im abit of a noobie, so any help is greatly appreciated, cheers :)

55 is minor , but if it hasn't been changed I'd do your transmission fluid too.

Get Honda oil filter , 3 1 litre containers of Honda MTF , get castrol edge 5-30 OR calibre full synth. 5-30 both from super cheap auto
You can take the air filter out n tap it out to dislodge dust n paticulate

If in sydney give Hannys a call or pm me for cheap rates ;0)

thanks bennjamin, really appreciated,
scuse the ignorance, but whats Honda MTF? manual transmission fluid?
if its a tip tronic car, I shouldnt put this in, should I get Honda ATF (automatric transmission fluid)?

sorry yeah its manual fluid - since you are auto yes ofcourse ATZ1 I think its called - refer to your honda dealer and only use honda fluid !
