Based on what youre asking, here are the details from the edmunds website:

50,000 to 74,999 interval maintenance:
Change rotor, distributor cap,sparkplugs, wires, fuel filter.

25,000 to 49,999
sparkplugs

Trying plugging in 1000 for the mileage and you will get the full mileage maintenace schedule.

Here's the results from my edmunds search. http://www.edmunds.com/mainten...cura*

I wouldn't trust Edmunds. For all I know, they publish the same advice for every car, and different cars are designed differently.

When you bought your car (new or used), you should have received an owner's manual with it. It gives a complete recommended maintenance schedule for the car, which was developed by the Honda engineers who designed it. That should be your guide.

If you do your own maintenance, you should get a service manual (the factory service manual is great, BTW). The service manual also includes the recommended maintenance schedule in it (the same one that's in the owner's manual).

If you don't have either of these books, you can buy one here.

Note that all the recommendations are based on mileage and time. For example, brake fluid should be completely flushed at least once every 30,000 miles or two years, whichever comes first. If you don't put on that many miles in two years, you should still do it at the end of that period, without waiting to accumulate that many miles. Same thing for the other maintenance items.
