Got a 99 Civic VP - Suggested Maintenance?
Hey all,
I bought a 99 Civic VP today with 106k on it. The timing belt and water pump were changed at 95k, I have service records for that, by Honda. I'm taking her on a road trip Saturday, about 700 miles round trip. What basic maintenance should I do first? I'm already thinking some basics - air filter, spark plugs, oil, etc.
Also, is it to late to switch to synthetic oil?

I would just stick with bulk oil, it has a 100k on it already you might as well not go synthetic
K&N drop in filter
*
ignition wires
*
distributor cap
*
ignition rotor
*
four spark plugs
*
fuel filter
*
oil filter
*
PCV valve
*
PCV valve grommet
Bulk Oil 10w 30 or 5w 30 depending on Temperature
Check and service brake pads replace if needed with your choice of brakes and rotors
You dont have to worry about coolant since he did the timing belt and water pump since they should have had to drain your coolant for that job
Add some Lucas fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank And fill it up, I suggest Lucas only the others are crap thats just my opinion
Balance and rotate your tires replace any if thread is below threshold
And thats about it, should take you a long while on that, probably through The us.
