I bought a 1997 Honda Civic HX that has a manual transmission from the original owner two days ago. The car is 100% stock, in very good condition and it runs great. This car has 167,000 miles on it.

When I buy a car with higher miles I like to change the engine oil, manual transmission oil, antifreeze, fuel filter, give the car a tuneup with new spark plugs and anything else it needs before I start driving it. I was thinking of using Pennzoil Ultra 5w-30 synthetic motor oil with a Mobile 1 extended performance oil filter on this car. I'm planning on driving this car over 400,000 miles...

I was reading the owners manual on recommended fluids and spark plugs for this car. Of course the manual says to use Honda fluids from the dealer.

What brands and types of fluids are you guy's using in your Honda HX's?

What spark plugs are you guy's using?
