March 7th, 2011 02:32 PM #1Hi guys!!
I'm a first time car owner here and my baby is a 95 Civic ESi. Can you give me tips on how to maintain and take care of my car because I would really like to keep it for a long time. Do you think this is possible given that this car is already 16 years old already? TIA!

1. Oil change - every 5,000 kms (since 1994 model - try using20w/50 viscosity - mineral oil will do);
2. Oil filter change - upon every oil change;
3. Spark plug replacements - every other oil change (use the garden variety lang, don't opt for the high tech ek ek stuff, added cost lang iyon);
4. Brake fluid (use dot 3 ha)/Power steering fluid (dexron 3 AT fluid), transmission fluid (consult honda)/Coolant - replace using distilled water - should be given a once over (meaning changemo na ito kaagad, sabay mo na sa first oil change mo);
5. Check your shocks and shock mounts if they are still okay (it can be done sabay sa lahat above);
6. Pa detail mo ang interior - to get rid of the grime and dirt accumulated over the years;
7. Check the battery kung okay pa;
8. Change the fanbelt;
9. Have the mechanic inspect if the timing belt is still okay, if not have it changed;
10. Check all the lights (headlight, brakelight, taillight, parklight);
11. And don't hesitate to ask us here at tsikot kung me query ka bro. Congrats sa ride

March 7th, 2011 05:00 PM #7Don't be fooled by the cliche that Hondas are race machines.
Don't drive it too hard dahil prone sa overheat due to its weak cooling system.
Not to mention oil leaks.
