I'm 100 miles away from hitting 70,000, kinda sucks getting old.

Compression is still strong though so that's a good thing: 250-246-245-245

"what to do when you hit 40,000 miles?"

Think to yourself, you still have 110,000 miles more before you catch me

go to a 76 Service shop station, or any better auto shop.
go in side, look for "The Bible". That's what they usually call it.

Turn to the ACURA section. Check INTEGRA. Check the service instructions for mileages.

"The Bible" is the service manual for most cars on the road ( ) I used to work there. hehehehe.. (76 sucks)

or just call your mechanic up or something.. duuhhrr...

take out that cluster and roll it back!

acura says you dont even need to replace your fuel filter if your teg is 96 or newer unless you put diesel, water, or mud in your gas tank

Well, if you did the recommended maintenance at 30,000 miles, including the valve adjustment, there's really nothing special at 40,000. Just keep changing the oil somewhere around every 5,000 miles, keep the coolant topped up with 50/50 mix and you're good to go.
If you DIDN'T do the 30,000 mile service, get the valves adjusted and check the belts, hoses and the coolant. I never did the recommended service on my Si, just used common sense. Check the boots for cracking and brake pads and rotors for uneven wear. Make sure the tranny fluid is at the right level. I changed that about every 60K miles. Biggest thing is make sure the tires aren't wearing unevenly, do a 4 wheel alignment and rotate them often. Good luck.
