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 ****.

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
