I got a used 96 accord without the owners manual and wanted to know what the regualr maintenance schedule is, i know the oil every 6 months or ~6000 miles (using full synthetic) but beyond that I just do my best to fix what breaks and would like to know what else I may need to be doing to keep more from breaking. I have no history on this vehicle, except that it looks like it was abused pretty bad. Got it just under 130k without the 120k work-up learned that 4 months after i got it...been fixing things since. So just what should i do regularly to keep it running is what I need to know?

 

Timing belt is very important. If you don't have any record of it being replaced you will want to do it very soon. If it breaks the engine is likely toast.
