Just bought a DC5 - need help from integra owners

Post by OldHondaYoungDriver » Wed Apr 27, 2011 3:34 pm

Hi guys,

I just sold off my golf GT and bought a used 2006 integra 2.0A.

Just wish to ask u guys,

@ 80k milegae, what are the upcoming major/minor servicing to do?

SHould i install a atf cooler for my gearbox? does it comes with a original atf cooler?

Any other useful tips on maintainence and repairs issues, please advise.

I wish to drive a car with no problems and keep it healthy till COE die.

THanks all
Old car

Hi,

I am driving a 2006 Dc5 GSR ,Manual.
I own it for abt 3 years already and am happy.

After warranty i did not go back to Kah Motor for any other servicing except for my Gearbox oil change every 25k.(suppose to be 40k) and Fuel filter every 40K.(i trust Kah motor is expert when changing fuel filter as they does it almost everyday).

So far maintenance cost is low.
Normal changing of Fully Syn Engine oil at every 7-8k.
Changing of NGK R plugs every 20k.
However i did my radiator and aircon motor fan change two months ago as the car tempertaure went up to 3/4 mark.
The two fans motor with labour cost me less than $500.

As the rear camber is non adjustable, you may wish to change it to a modified ADJUSTABLE camber to increase tires lifespan.

Although this is not a fast car ,it is agile and trust worthy to bring me around.
