Great advice and things to think about, thank you all for your opinions and advice. In a stroke of luck (gonna go buy a lotto ticket!) the engine light went off on its own this morning. Planning on keeping a close eye and ear on it, knowing there are some much cheaper alternatives to keep it...

The rattle is not all the time, just occasionally when idling, and occasionally when accelerating.

Thanks for the replies and info everyone! If I find an aftermarket cat should I also replace O2 sensors? Trying to put as little money into it as is 250k ~ $1500 if it was running well (which it is besides the cat issue). I was planning on saving up for another good slightly used civic soon...

Indiana does not require emissions tests. I’m worried about how long it will last, and if it gets more symptoms (loss of power, worse gas mileage).

Hi all, Daily driver is an 06 Civic, 249k miles. I’ve taken regular care of it, very few issues in general. Replaced a starter, a few batteries, and the usual brakes and tires. Check engine light is on, and showing the code P0420 for Cat not performing to standards. There has been an engine...

I am looking for a long lasting multipurpose spray lube for door hinges, and the little lever that opens and closes the fuel door (06 Honda Civic) What options do I have material (chemical composition) and what brands types do you recommend based on your experiences. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies everyone, I did think a valve adjustment every 20k seemed too much, will keep an eye and ear on it. I certainly don't want to over maintain and waste money, but want to do the things I need to keep it going. Who has experience with knowing about needing to replace things...

Long time reader, first time poster. I have an 06 civic lx with 115k miles, and have some questions about maintaining it properly so it can get me to 200+. I do oil changes every 5,000 miles, and have kept up with the fluid changes myself (power steering, coolant, and only the brake fluid and...
