Hello Scotty, or whoever will reply since he sadly can't answer to everyone anymore,
I have a 2010 Honda Civic manual transmission, 98 000km. I've heard there are some things you need to change or replace when your car gets around 100 000km, but I can't find change intervals in my owner's manual and all it says on my dashboard is to change oil (which is due) and manual transmission fluid. Ideally, I want to keep my car for a long time, what should I replace every 100 000km?
If you are not Scotty, please state your source of information or ideally a link to a Scotty youtube video, that would help.
Thanks.
At 100K km, you would want to change the coolant (because of age) and spark plugs as well as inspect the serpentine/drive belts to see if they are still in good shape. Also, if your brakes are old it would also be a good idea to check the condition/level of the brake fluid as well as the condition of the pads/rotors. Try google searching Honda’s recommended service intervals for that 2010 Civic - you should be able to find a service schedule on a forum or on Honda’s website.
Just FYI - I’m no mechanic, but I used to own a 2001 Civic for 19 years and I changed the spark plugs and coolant every 60K miles, per the owners manual. But obviously things likely changed for newer Civics.
Unfortunately, Honda doesn't like providing maintenance information to owners. They want people to wait until a cryptic light comes up on the dash and then run to the dealer.
Page 287 has a little bit of information.
The car is 10 years old now. I would replace the coolant. I would also give the car a thorough inspection. Check everything, struts , axles ... every inch.
Here's an example of how to do an inspection:
