I've got a few simple questions here for you guys. How many months or at what mileage do you change your -

Spark plug wires (30,000?)
Distributor cap (30,000?)
Distributor rotor (30,000?)
PCV valve (30,000?)
Perform a Seafoam session or fuel induction service (30,000?)
Replace belts (75,000?)
Replace radiator cap (every cooling system flush and fill?)
Replace thermostat (every cooling system flush and fill?)
Lubricate locks, hinges, and window tracks (?)

Imo thats when i would do for normal driving conditions.

 

The wires, cap, rotor, and PCV valve are all suggested at 30k by the Hayne's repair manual, so I guess that's probably what I'll go with. The de-carb session I might as well put at that time too since I'd be changing the plugs, fuel filter, and oil.

Belts usually seem to last around 75k, but I've got the Gatorback belts now, and they generally last longer. I'll probably just change them at the same time I do the waterpump and timing belt.

I'll probably just end up doing the thermostat and radiator cap every cooling system flush.

Not sure how often to lube the locks, hinges, and window tracks, but every oil change seems too often. I was thinking maybe every 15k or so as in once every year.

 

Well, here's what I came up with for a tune up guide:

Civic tune-up schedule (started at 124,000 miles)

@127,000 miles or in March 2008(every 3,000 miles or 3 months)

Oil filter
Oil drain and fill

@130,000 miles or May 2008 (every 6,000 miles or 6 months)

Rotate tires

@ 139,000 miles or January 2009 (every 15,000 miles or 12 months)

Perform valve lash adjustment
Valve cover gasket
Spark plug oil tube seals
Valve cover grommets
Clean K&N air filter

@ 154,000 miles or January 2010 (every 30,000 miles or 24 months)

Fuel induction and de-carb service
Remove and clean IACV
Remove and clean throttle body
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
Distributor cap
Distributor rotor
PCV valve
Fuel filter
Coolant flush and fill
Radiator cap
Thermostat
Bleed and fill clutch system
Transmission drain and fill

@ 180,000 miles or January 2012 (every 90,000 miles or 72 months)

Replace timing belt
Replace water pump
A/C compressor belt
Alternator belt

Anything that I might be missing?

 

4 wheel alignment -- 12 months in spring after winter is over
spin balance tires --- 12 months in spring after winter is over

 

Well yea, the alignment and tire balance would obviously get checked every so often, but thanks for reminding me.
