Hello,
I'm a new member and also a proud owner of a 1996 accord lx. I recently bought it and it only has 42,000 original miles! Hard to believe but true....The car belonged to an old neighbor who passed away recently.
Glad to be here and I look forward to learning about these cars as I go along!

 

Glad to have you in here as a new member in the HAF..

Thank You for joining

 

Get the maintenance up to date anyway. With only 40k miles, you want to look at the MONTHS not the miles for each maintenance item.

 

Thanks Jim!

Today I did a motor flush, I changed the oil filter and added new oil + a bottle of "Prolong" (I've always been a fan of prolong). I also added some "Lucas" to the fuel tank. Next weekend I plan to replace the transmission fluid and I'm a little undecided whether to replace the timing belt or wait a little longer....

 

If your neighbor was good about maintenance, that belt should have been replaced every 7 years. If you don't KNOW that it was replaced on any certain date, then go ahead & replace it.
