90K Maintenance
I have a '98 Civic DX coupe that is going to hit 90K sometime late this year or early next year. I'll be taking it in to get the timing belt, water pump, and all other belts replaced.
Can anyone think of anything else I should get done around this time (i.e. oil seals, valve adjustment, oil pump, alternator, etc...)? I want to get as much done as possible at one time excluding the normal maintenance items (tune up, oil change, etc...) which I do myself.
Also, if I'm overlooking something major that should be done shortly after 90K, I'll just get that done as well.
Thanks

You'll need a valve adjustment. I wouldn't get an oil pump yet. They usually last 200k or more, and if it went out your oil pressure would drop causing the oil light to come on. (BTW if it ever comes on, turn the engine off ASAP!) I think you've covered everything else besides tranny fluid change which should be done ATLEAST every 30k. The dealer will have a sheet explaining every thing they do at 90k. I wouldn't do any extra because it's really not needed. As long as you follow their intervals, and change the oil every 3k it should last 300k+ miles.
spark plug wires don't go bad after 15k check the resistance on the plugs and if there are any 'hard' spots on the wire sinc eit is just a buncha carbon all packed together.
spark PLUGS don't need to be changed every 15k... esp platinum tipped ones.
check your records and see when all this was replaced. if its been a LONG time then maybe it is time

When I hit 90K I got the timing belt, water pump, valve adjustement, oil change, lub all hinges, brakes changes, etc...
