whats up guys!! i got a 94 gsr and its about to hit the 200k mark. what maintenance do i need? need your help. thank you! sorry if its in the wrong forum. pls move if so. thanks

 

do timing belt and water pump for sure and all the belts while your in there. and change out all your fluids and a basic tuneup. also fuel filter if it hasnt been done yet. and adjust your valves

 

woo hoo! 200k. bout to hit that in my civic. stock EVERYTHING! like said above, i won't repeat it. it probably also wouldn't hurt to get some engine treatment additive. i personally like barsleaks products. i use it religiously.usually walmart or an auto parts store carries it, but here is the link to the website.

Rebuild-turbo

 

thanks man. are there any internal parts that i need or should change out?

 

and NOS lol

 

Don't buy that engine additive it is just junk, it will add more build up to your iternals. Pretty much your basic tune up, your best bet would be to call your local Acura and see what they say to do at 200k.

 

valve adjustment(replace necessary gaskets)
air filter
vtec fluid :O+ oil filter
spark plugs
spark wires
cap
rotor
fuel filter
timing belt+water pump**
coolant (replace hoses also)
clutch fluid
brake fluid
steering fluid
check axles, bushings, brake pads
check drive belts for tiny cracks

and yeah dont use additives, waste of more and can potentially make things worst. honda does not suggest it

 

I don't agree with any of the above answers. The RIGHT answer is, you don't tell us enough information to answer your question.

If you look in your owner's manual or service manual*, you'll find a maintenance schedule showing recommended service intervals for the various services. For example, on a '94 GS-R (like the one in my garage with 185K miles on it), here are the service intervals for normal use:

every 7.5K miles or 6 months - change engine oil and oil filter
every 15K miles or 1 year - adjust valves
every 30K miles or 2 years - change transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid
every 60K miles or 4 years - replace spark plugs, fuel filter
every 90K miles or 6 years - replace timing belt, water pump

Note that those intervals are mileage or time, whichever comes first.

There are also a number of inspections that should be performed, most of which you can easily do or have done any time your car is up on a lift being serviced.

So what do you need to do at 200K? Maybe nothing, maybe everything! What you need to do is to figure out when the last time each service was performed. For example, if your timing belt and water pump were replaced at 170K miles 2 years ago, you don't need to do them now; if they were replaced at 110K miles or less, or 6 years ago or more, it's time to do them again. And if you don't know when they were replaced, then you should do them now. Same thing with all the other services - if you know that they were done more recently than the recommended service interval (for both mileage and time), you don't need to do them yet. However, if you have reached the service interval, either mileage or time, since the last time they were serviced, or if you don't know when they were last serviced, then you need to do them again now.

Once you do these services, make a record for yourself, either in your owner's manual or elsewhere, of the date and mileage they were done. That way you will know in the future when those services are due again (i.e. when you reach the appropriate mileage or time interval), and you won't have to do them again until then.

*If you don't have an owner's manual, you should get one. If you don't have a service manual and you work on your own car, you should get one of those, too. You may be able to find a used one on eBay or in the marketplace forums, or you can buy a new one here.

 

so what questions should i be asking for a 200k service??

 

Just one: When was the last time (date and mileage) each of the services in the maintenance schedule was performed? If you don't know the answer, then you should be doing everything in the maintenance schedule.

 

word lol

 

ok. i will do it all. is there any thing i should know? suggestions, tips... anything will help. oh yah. i dont have one of those owners manual. third owner. im trying to do this on my own. i spent 5k-6k since i had the car. more than half towards labor. ouch! so, im trying to gather all the info i need before i start doing this. great help will be appreciated. THANKS H-T!!!!

 

if you dont really know when the last maintenance was done, I would recommend getting everything listed earlier done because then you know for sure when it was done instead of risking any possibilities :] thats only if you have a lot of money though
