Hey folks I picked up a 2003 accord lx w/ 48k on the clock , made a list of stuff I want to freshen up, if I'm missing something remind me. thanks!!!!!

oil change
trans fluid/filter
fresh antifreeze
brake flush
serp belt

also I'm needing tires ,so I'm also on the hunt to upgrade to OEM wheels that came on the 2003 EX accords, what other years fit if I cant find 2003 alloys?

Sounds like a good find

You might think about the PS fluid as well.

Also two fluids the IMHO you need to use Honda fluid is the auto trans fluid and the PS fluid....the PS fluid needs to be listed as Acura/Honda approved fluid.

Also might go ahead and change the air filter - setting a baseline as to when it was changed.

Have the brake fluid flushed, and while I'm guessing you have the 4-Cylinder engine; if per chance you have the V6, have the timing belt and water pump changed.
