Its about time I hit the 100k mark.. Had the car for a couple years now.. So i know I gotta change all the fluids.. spark plugs.. timing belt.. but what else? Timing belt was changed just a few thousand miles ago so thats okay.. brakes were replaced about 5 thousand miles ago and still running good. So my question is what kind of spark plugs should I get and any recommendation on the fluids? Any input would be helpful..

car doesn't use timing belt. k uses timing chain. i would go with the iridium spark plugs. oem replacement and they cost about $40 for all 4. 5 30w as recommended in the manual but using 10 40 or 10 30 is not a bad idea also. cabin filter replacements, air box filter replacements if its not changed to an after market intake. check ur tie rods,rotors and all and u shld be set

At 100k miles I had the coolant changed along with the spark plugs.

How about the tranny and brake fluids.. those need to be flushed? Got aftermarket intake so i guess thats ok..

brake fluid changed every 3 years-transmission fluid should not be flushed-drained and filled.

you still need to clean aftermarket intakes.

^ oh yeah of course, clean it every several months

any recommendation on what type of fluids to use?

The consensus seems to be to stick with Honda fluids for the transmission (AT or MT)(oh, and it's not the same), power steering, and brakes (I think the jury is still out on coolant). I'm pretty confidant that any quality oil is acceptable (if you're doing a brake fluid change and don't use Honda fluid, you may want to do some research. There's a wide disparity in boiling points of DOT3 fluid). The clutch reservoir fluid is the same as the brake fluid.

Thanks a lot! That will help me in a few days when Im doing all this.
