You should be changing your oil regardless of season.

Maybe you want to change your tires? I don't know what else people change because of summer.

how many miles are on the motor? Has the timing blet ever been changed? If not then change the timing bet, waterpump,spark plugs, wires, cap & rotor,fuel filter, air filter, You may want to change your tranny fluid while your at it. I think thats about it for maintance

Not to thread jack but when does honda recommend the replacement of the timing belt on a b series? Jdm92 i was going to replace alot on mine but not just cause it is summer. I was going to do cap, rotor. Plugs, wires, fuel filter., and trans fluid.

About timing belt renewall:
To change every 60k miles or 100 000kms by road or five years by time thats what Honda in Europe recomend to do in "b" series and "d" the same.
