I own a 2000 Honda Civic hatchback DX and I just hit 60k miles. I don't want to take it to a dealer so I am going to do the service myself or take it to a third party. What needs to be done? I got the oil done and the spark plugs.

 

-I would do an oil change every 5-10k miles, depending what oil you use. Same with Oil Filter.

-When was the last time you changed your Air Filter? Check it everytime you change your oil.

-Probably want to replace Fuel Filter as well.

-If you are able to, check for any tears/leaks in the front suspension components like all 4 ball joints, look at the CV joints to see if those are still sealed and not torn/leaking.

And I always use belt lubricant probably once a month since I drive in a dusty area for work. I also use every few months Lucas Oil Treatment(not the stuff that goes in oil, but in gas tank)

 

Is that the same thing as seafoam?

 

lol... the easiest thing to do and call you Honda dealership, ask them what's included/recommended in a 60,000 mile service, then get to work.

Maybe an antifreeze flush, tranny flush? You say you did spark plugs, what about spark wires?

Edit** I forgot to add.. That's VERY low miles for a 2000. Are you the original owner? If not, how long have you owned the 2000 DX? BTW, welcome to HCF!

 

I got the car from my grandfather who literally used it only to commute to work and I rarely drove in high school.

About asking the dealership thats a good idea i'll do that.

 

I have an AEM intake
