Hey guys and gals, I have searched to see whether this has come up in discussion before but can't find any information on this subject. 90000 mile service. I am getting different info from my dealer compared to my tech who works on my car. What is suppose to be done on a 90k service? Are the valves adjusted? Dealer says yes, tech says no. Does anyone know exactly what is suppose to be done on the 90k service?

 

i own a 00 civic ex, only things done to it are synthetic oil changes every 7k miles, alignment once, and I did a transmission flush a few years ago. My power steering belt was also replaced because it started to shred, looked like something caught onto it.

If you live up north you probably want to get the belts inspected more often and if you do it's probably time to change your timing belt.

 

I usually just get the usual timing belt, drive belts, water pump, tensioner, cam seal, crank seal replaced. If the valves sound fine especially when the engine cold, I wouldn't bother with it.

-Change Oil & Filter
