Questions for 100K Service

[jwong512]

I don't see any reason to get an OEM PCV Valve as you can probably pick one up from a local Autozone for $2.

Thanks for all the input guys, I really appreciate it. I also wanted to flush the power steering fluid and transmission fluid so they were added at the least.

So here's what I got so far:

1. Plug Wires - Sumitomo at the dealership ($70)
2. Spark Plugs - NGK Platinum x 4 ($20)
3. NAPA Distributor Cap ($25)
4. NAPA PCV Valve - (5)
5. Power Steering Fluid at the dealership ($5)
6. Transmission Fluid at the dealership ($???)

Thanks again!

This sounds like the 82,500 service. If you are at 100,000 you need also or atleast inspect:

Timing belt + water pump
Valve adjustment
Throttle cleaning
brake fluid
timing belt tensioner
idler pulley
gaskets
tranny drain and refill

Sounds like a good list. Do what allgonoshow said as well, timing belt should definitely be changed with the water pump and anything the timing belt touches (idler pulleys, tensioners)

To be honest, I wouldn't mess with the power steering fittings on the rack if that's how you were going to go about it. I'd take the soft cooler line off the hard cooler line (in front of the radiator & condenser, lower right corner of it) and just drain as much as you can and refill with new fluid.

Tranny fluid is $6-8 a quart at the dealer (ATF or MTF). If you want to do the full drain and refill on the automatic, grab 9 quarts. Or just do 1 drain and refill.

I thought the OEM timing belts were good until 106k? anyhow im still due for on e at 113k...

The service interval is 105k, which is part of the "100k" service he's talking about. It's 5k early, who cares?

It's always best to change timing belts earlier because sometimes they crack earlier under certain driving conditions.

I care, Im over the limit by 8k. I have not had the time to do this myself. Im wondering how long people have gone without doing this. I barely drive my car....Ive gone about 2k in the last year.

My belt was first changed at 133k with no issues, the previous owner did the first change, not me.

I just did a belt on a 95k 6th gen on saturday and the belt looked brand new with no cracks or fraying. The Honda logo was barely worn off.


Kids, get the Unitta (OEM) belt if you can, Gates if you want to save cash.

My bro-in-law didn't get his 02's t-belt changed until 140K. I'll probably get mine changed soon since I'm past the recommended time limit (84 months), even though I'm only at 74K miles.
