Thanks for your reply. Yes, it is an automatic. Any idea on how much a new or used transmission would cost? I checked on carpart.com. Looks like all the...
.....and still on the original clutch. Only thing I've had to replace is the EGR valve.....the shop service manual (almost never used) came in handy with the...
Hey, could you tell us the actual best mpg numbers you have achieved? My '98 HX (5-speed) has done a best so far on flat interstate 5, 60-65 mph, of 46 mpg (2...
Mine's an '00 5spd and has the 11.9 gal tank also but it doesn't get that high.....I wish it would. The mileage figures were never consistent until I found...
Wow, so that's the trick! I never would have thought you could stuff that much more in! I'm going to try it and get a few more days between fill-ups. (It's...
I'm not sure the reason for the roller rockers either but it might have more to do with the load the single rocker takes on when the other intake valve goes...
Well I'm posting this about two months after the fact, but at the end of May I changed the oil in my Civic. It had been 8000 miles since my last oil change...
Thanks for posting the oil info. I just switched my '98 over to Amsoil synthetic (gearbox too). They have enough confidence in their stuff to recommend a 25K...
Hi again. I'm the one who just bought the 1997 HX. By the looks of my oil, it probably needs a change. Is there anything special involved? Would Pep Boys do...
50+ mpg is easy if you stay on the interstate, don't run the air conditioning and have a manual transmission. The best I've gotten is 51.8 and 741 miles...
Hi, I'm new here. I'm Jeff near Denver, CO. I'm getting close to buying a Civic HX CVT - from around '97 or '98. What are some particular areas of concern for...
hi Jeff, My '03 HX is a stick, so I can't help you with CVT questions. I will say that I just hit 121,000 absolutely flawless miles- only mechanical failure is...
... Apologies for not responding sooner, this group has grown quite quiet over the last several years and I believe many of us only check it periodically....
My '00 will reach 300,000 miles this week.....3rd timing belt job coming up this weekend. Still on the original clutch although it's getting close to ...
My '00 passed 300,000 miles week before last. As I mentioned, I had replaced the EGR valve a while back after getting numerous P0401 (insufficient EGR flow)...
Wow, 300,000 miles that is a lot now! I'm "only" at 165,000 on mine and honestly, I'll probably be selling it in the next 10,000 miles or so. Still, I have...
No, I just run regular gas.....from the local BP station or whatever is the cheapest. There's no way I'm getting rid of it.....not with the mileage it gets....
