Can Anyone Tell Me What Should be Included in a 60,000 Tune-up

18 years ago

I have a 2000 Honda Civic and was curious if anyone could tell me or send me to a website that would give me a full list of what all needs to be done for a 60,000 mile maintenance tune-up.

Thanks so much in advance!!!

Your owner's manual is the best source for this information, but I assume you must not have one since you're asking the question.

A tune-up is pretty much part of automotive history. The fuel and ignition systems are computer controlled, so necessary adjustments are made automatically. Most cars have 100,000 mile spark plug change intervals.

On a 5-year old car, the maintenance services I'd be considering would be:

-Flush cooling system if it hasn't been done yet, or if you don't know when/if it was done because you bought the car used.
-Consider replacing accessory drive belt(s) such as the serpentine belt if it has one. After 5 years these can develop cracks.
-Change oil and filter.
-Change air filter
=Call Honda's customer service number and find out what the recommended timing belt replacement interval is for your car, and replace if necessary. You may want to find this out directly from Honda and not from a dealer, because dealers sometimes come up with their own shortened maintenance intervals for timing belts and other items in order to charge customers higher service fees.
-Check brake pads for wear
-Lubricate body parts such as door hinges, hood latch assembly

Thanks for that info...since you'd given me the name, I've been looking it up, and saw that. Luckily, I have them planted away from the house. Out in the "wilderness" of my woods area, along the pastureline/treeline. So hopefully this issue only affects other lilies! I do have some "ditch" lilies planted on each side of my driveway, where we have a culvert, but no tiger lilies near there...and along the side of the house last year, I planted some yellow ones a friend gave me. But no tigers near there either. So glad, not knowing then, I kept them away anyway!

I was waiting for Mightyanvil to jump in, but he must be busy. This is his standard post and is the easiest way I know to post photos. "RE: Exterior options.

The correct method to add new concrete onto set concrete is drill & epoxy rebars vertically with min 1" concrete cover on top of rebar. I would also have recomended a single horizontal rebar 1.5" above wire tied to the vertical rebars. A coating of hydroscopic epoxy is applied to the set concrete & whilst this epoxy is still wet (most of these epoxys have a working time of 45 - 60 minutes)the concrete is poured onto the wet epoxy. This concrete 'join' when set has a higher tensile strength than the concrete, it will never let go. I have done test pieces & later smashed apart & it never breaks at the join. These epoxys for joining new to old (set) concrete are readily available, they are refered to as hydroscopic epoxy as they will adhere or blend into the wet concrete. With regards to the steps rebars are probably not required, however I would have used the joining epoxy.

Hello, I'm not a dealer but I am a windows production/fabrication technician ( I make the windows lol) for a different company. I located your NFRC# on your sticker and I can read and understand the codes. You're good 😊👍. The letters are the company that makes them, the # is how energy efficient it is. The lower the number the better it is at keeping heat/ cool air in. 23 is a pretty good number. And yes, as a standard unless otherwise requested, all LE windows have argon. Hope this helps! Oh! And take that picture of the sticker and keep it safe! If you EVER need anything replaced such as a tilt latch, or sash, they require the order numbers so we can quickly fabricate the exact part. There should be one on each sash as well as one on the side of the frame and one located up top between the inside of the upper sash and frame. I also know all to well how easy it is to tear them or just fall off lol.
