My ‘11 CR-V AWD is sitting pretty at 285,000 miles and I’ve been using a combination of Valvoline MaxLife Engine Oil High Mileage Full Synthetic and K&N High Performance Oil Filter for the last 100k miles.
The only best fog lights that you can get for the 5th gen Civic sedan is OEM, which is Stanley.
Koni shocks did the trick on my old Civic (not the same generation as yours), along with disconnecting the sway bars. Left the shocks on full soft with stock springs.
The clutch is light, the brakes feel solid, and the manual steering has a good, confident feel. The engine doesn't lug even if you bring it down to around idle speed, provided you're in the right gear.
Michelin last the longest, so you save money.
I like them, they do great in the gravel, rain and snow but are a summer tire so they dont suck ass most of the time like most All Seasons (aka no seasons). Im on my second set, and will definitely get them again when needed.
A popular way to get bigger brakes on your Honda civic is taking the brembos from an Acura TL.
I just bought a koyo and it's a bit of a learning curve installing it. It took a few hours to burp the system of air but now I'm chasing small leaks. The OEM cap doesn't fit the radiator
He had installed an OEM manufacturer Mitsuboshi timing belt, and it snapped. Apparently it was a knock off. He reinstalled the old belt. I disconnected the injector to the cylinder with a bent valve, and drove it 200 miles home, on 5 cylinders. It actually ran better when I plugged the injector back in, When I got home.
At 126,000 miles in 2016, we had the battery replaced with an Optima yellow top dry battery. It lasted around 2 years and was replaced in September of 2018 under warranty. Today, my car suddenly wouldn't start, and after getting a jump and going to Autozone, it showed the battery had zero charge. They didn't have another yellow top, so I got a wet battery, one of the only ones available. What sucks is I checked the warranty date and it expired 4 days ago. I'm quite disappointed that the average life I've seen with these are under 3 years.
