sup guys, i have 107k on my 95 si hatch (d16z6) and i think it's time for an oil change. just to learn, i want to do the tune up myself? what else should i change besides the motor oil? btw, what oil should i get???

um.
bleed the brakes.
change the coolant.
timing belt.
somebody add to the list...

976

spark plugs
spark plug wires
PCV valve
dis. cap & rotor
timing belt
other belts if needed
oil & filter change
tranny fluid change
carbon build-up clearner (if desired)
fuel injector cleaner (if desired)

I'm forgetting a lot of stuff I have a feeling...

E-brake or Handbrake

spark plugs & wires
brake pads

check your local automotive listings in your mailbox to see what they offer.
they usually list the things they'll perform for a certain amount. happy tuning.

you'll need an oil filter for changing the oil too, don't forget.

check air filter
tire pressure
fuel filter

haha how he said that, it sounds like he hadn't changed the oil in 107k miles. But I'm assuming you've changed it due to the fact that you've made it to 107k.

Oil Change:
4 qts 5w30 motor oil of your choice
honda oil filter from the dealer
new 12mm drain plug washer if you want to be ****.

on a similar topic, anyone have experience whether the high milage motor oils are any good or worth the money?

matters most if you live in 50/50 climates--ie; really cold one season then just really really hot another season.

I think you're a-ok
