    Heya

    I have a 2000 Honda Accord LX 4dr 2.3 4cyl.
    I have 75,000mi now. Never had any maintenance except tranny fluid,
    and brakes.

    When should the spark plugs be changed? And which ones should be put
    in? I just want the same OEM plug that are in there.

    Is the cooling system good for up to 100,000 miles?
    Any other maint that I might need?
    Thx for any help

    You never changed the oil and oil filter? YIKES!
    that should happen every 3000-5000 miles or every 6 months,whichever comes
    sooner.
    Around 60,000 miles
    Do you have the owner's manual?
    It has a chart of when and what mantenance tasks need to be done.

    you also might be able to Google or visit the Honda website to get that
    info.

    Of course I have the oil changed silly
    I still dont know which plugs. I dont want some repair shop to install
    junk. I want oem.
    I don't. Never had one.
    I ll try. Too confusing sometimes. Too much info like that spark plug
    page.

    Hi,
    Put in a set of Iridium plugs and forget about them LONG time.

    Go here:
    https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/logon.asp
    Choose "Owner's Manuals" from the menu at left, then navigate to your car.
    No login required.

    The online version of your manual is "linked", meaning clicking the
    appropriate item from the Table of Contents or the Index will take you
    directly to the item in question.

    Your spark plugs according to Honda are replaced at 105,000 miles. Unless
    you have a specific problem with the plugs I'd wait perhaps till 90,000
    miles or more to replace. Your car uses platinum tip plugs and they will
    last up to 105,000 miles and sometimes more, but changing them at the
    suggested mileage or a little early is good preventive maintenance. Your
    vehicle uses NGK PZFR5F-11 plugs. If you can't find them in an auto parts
    store go to your dealer. Don't substitute !
