Welcome hope you are enjoying your great investment

Alignment I personally suggest that you get lifetime alignment from Firestone I have had to realign my car a couple times cuz of the horrible roads i go through on a daily basis...

Search is also the best friend.....sometimes but can help point you in the right direction

for tranny fluid use the honda stuff it contains syncro mesh ( sorry if i spelled this wrong. ) protecting your tranny.

also change your rear diff fluid ( always better safe then sorry )

for brake fluid look around the forums different strokes for different folks.


welcome to the community , if you have any other questions feel free to post.
ignore these wankers.

Congrats and welcome.

Like Nimor said, for the tranny use Honda fluid (green label and white cap).

For the brakes and clutch, use either ATE Super Blue (autocross and track day capable) or If you don't do extreme driving then you can use Valvoline Synthetic (brown bottle).

Diff fluid use Mobil 1. I think it's the 75-90.

If you need a guide for each, check out the Under the Hood forum and find the thread called "the oil journals" and it will all be there.

Hope your enjoying the car. I had just changed the trans and dif fluid in October of 09 so they should be just fine. I used mobil 1 in the diff and I forget the trans fluid, but it was the stuff recommended here. Good Luck with her. I miss her
