How much oil 99 HX?
I tried looking under the hood to find out how much oil I need to buy but nothing was mentioned. I only know I need 5-30. Anyone know how much oil this car needs? Also how often does the cvt fluid need to be changed?

I'd change the CVT fluid every 30k, maximum. Those particular CVTs aren't known for their longevity, so as long as you use Genuine Honda fluid, you really can't change it too much.
The HX in '99 was also a 1.6L right(not 1.5 :shrug
... regardless, you'll need 4 quarts of oil. I'm guessing it takes around 3.5, so I'd add 3 after you change the oil and filter, and then check the level. I'd just get it up to the top mark w/o running the engine and then after you've driven it you may need to add just a bit to top off.
