Long time reader, first time poster. I have an 06 civic lx with 115k miles, and have some questions about maintaining it properly so it can get me to 200+.
I do oil changes every 5,000 miles, and have kept up with the fluid changes myself (power steering, coolant, and only the brake fluid and ATF done at the dealership) The service advisor suggested my valves be adjusted at 120k (I had the full 100k checkup/tuneup done and the valves were adjusted then this past november) Do the valves really need to be adjusted every 20k or is that the dealer padding their wallet? What tips/experiences do you have with civics or any other car past 115k to make the car last? Thanks for your time and replies!
