Hi im new to the forum i have a 97' Ex coupe with a D16Y8 with 212,000 miles on it. I was lloking for advice on things that could be done to ensure the engine remains running well, without havign to do a rebuild due to a limited budget. As it stands the timing belt is fresh and i change my oil regularly, but i was wondering if products such as engine treatments were wise to use, or if they even work.

 

get yourself a nice tuneup check all fluid levels etc, i wouldnt recommend using any engine treatments as some people say they cause problems if not now, eventually down the road. ive never used any before so i wouldnt know

 

did u change ur water pump at timing belt

but if money is there water and oil pump

other than that if it dont smoke,miss tune up and said abouve leave it alone

 

Yes luckily when i bought the car back in December it came with the entire service report that showed everything that had been done to the car since it was bought new. It was a one owner car that was taken good care of, given there are a few cosmetic blemishes given the cars age.

 

ok if water pump and timing belt have been done change oil every 3k and tranny oil every 9k and leave it alone best thing u can do is nothing
