Whats your service routine?

[tangy]

Hi Guys,

Just bought a EG civic (GLi) for a daily and was wondering how often are your service intervals and what do you do?

only reason i ask is because i have a 180sx and i change oil and filters, etc every 5000kms, but this seems abit too much for a EG civic?

any thoughts would be great

For my DC2R I:

* Change oil and filter every 3000-5000km's or 3 months with out fail
* Change gearbox oil every 10,000km's or 2 track days with out fail.
* brake fluid every 10,000km's or 2 track days with out fail.
* Clutch fluid every 20,000km's
* Plugs and stuff as they come.
* Clean Mugen air filter every 5000km's.

oil and filter
every 10k

air filter
fuel filter
trans fluid
tappet adjustment
every 40k

brake fluid every 60k or 3yrs

as for other fluids i would just check and top up as required

The Civic manual will tell you all that and more otherwise please follow this link for very good info https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/logon.asp Once it loads click Owner's Manual's on the Free Resources toolbar on the left hand side, choose your vehicles year and away you go

yeah this is what i was thinking about doing, just wanted to make sure 10k would be alright for oil and filter.

thanks

yeh man it's only a gli, i'm guessing it's your daily and the 180 is for weekend fun?

oh and seeing as you have just bought it check on the last cambelt replacement. they're due for replacement every 5 years or 100,000 (whatever occurs first)

[tangy]

thanks panda, the timing/cam belt was changed 30,000kms ago so its nice and fresh, as was the water pump and engine seals so it should be good to kick around for a while

yeah the 180 is now the weekend car, but im going to sell it to build a weekend/track spec EG, what can i say these hondas really have grown on me :P

basically what i do to but change the oil every 5k but the filter, because its a pain, every 10k

just did the first service on the civic today...changed the oil plus filter and spark plugs today. Funny positon having the oil filter on the firewall side of the engine, but atleast there is room to get your hand in, anyone tried changing an oil filter on a 180sx? impossible!

^if its anything like an s15 its terrible

[[ricer]]

yeah if u got a sr20 then u need an oil filter relocator kit lol

[tangy]

yeah i dread service time with my 180, it would be exactly like an S15, unless you have hands like a japanese school girl then you got no chance

[egSi]

props to you guys for servicing so regularly :thumbsup:

yeah there is no point changing the filter more often than every 10k

[Rice_banger]

you guys are making my service routine seem bad

spark plugs every 10K km , engine oil and fitler about every 8K KM with mobil 1 , and gear box fluid every 10 - 20K , coolant every 20K

the rest i top up due to lazyness

[panda[cRx]]

what shitty plugs are u using that need to be done every 10k?

[Rice_banger]

bosh platnium plus

[ralph_ef9]

dont forget ur timing belt and water pump every 100k....
lol....
