Plz Post Good Car Care Tips
Hmm... I'm a noobie about cars, so can you guys just post some advice on how to take good care of my car. I learned that if you park outside a lot you should wax your car now and then.
Thanks buds!

If you drive a stock civic, or NEAR stock civic do yourself a favor:
Change your oil every 6 months or 7500 miles. That 3000 Mile rule is over and done with, it was invented in the 50's. Oil and motors have come a very very long way since then. Save yourself some money. Check your civic manuals they even recomend 7500 miles, and the manuls play it very safe. Of course oil companys keep this 3000 mile rule alive and in your face for oblivious reasons.
Spark plugs (especially if your stock) only need to be changed every 30-40K depending on the plug.
If you are boosted or running a serious cam (s), then change it every 3-4K
