Awesome. Thanks for the guide Jasemas.

Can I pick up everything I need at supercheap or autobarn?
Or would I be better off (cheaper) ordering online?
I guess I really only need spark plugs, oil and coolant at this stage. Maybe an air filter.

Connorling, what air filter would you suggest that fits with this box?

Thanks guys.

[connorling]

i would just go with the oem filter.
i wouldnt bother anything else, not even knn

Are these suitable?

Where can I buy oem oil and coolant?

[connorling]

oem oil of course from Honda parts.
coolant can be purchased there too.

basically everything to do with servicing, they can get it in or sell them off the shelf.
but usually cost a bit more than usual place like supercheap etc.

Thanks connorling, will supercheap and autobarn stock honda oil/coolant as well? Or do they only sell third party brands.

Only 3rd party brans
Virtually all the parts they stock is not oem
You need to go to the stealership (dealership) for oem fluids such as oil/coolant/power steering fluid/fuel filter etc.

[compleks]

Haha, thanks Jasemas.
Seems pretty expensive (the place I called wanted $60 for coolant). Does anyone know of a decent supplier??

Does this air filter require oiling?

Will any NGK plugs do? I see a lot of difference in price online for different models.

Thanks again.

There are copper, iridium and platinum variants. Copper is cheapest and lasts about 5000km. If I were you go Iridium, I think they last 80,000km? Stay away from Platinum, they last the longest are the most expensive but most FI guys have issues with them so I stay away.

Make sure you get the correct one for your car in regards to heat range thread, etc.
Some company have different ways of rating heat as well.

Copper plugs last approx 30,000km
Irridium plugs last approx 60,000km
Platinum plugs last approx 100,000km

Forced induction guys have problems with plugs because their afr's are in the mid 11:1 range when 9/10 they could be running 12.x:1 and not fowl plugs
